Nanny in Wickford (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
Hello, my name is Yana. I am an experienced nanny with nearly 3 years of private childcare experience, including working with children of different ages, special needs, twins, and siblings.
I follow a Montessori-inspired approach, focusing on sensory activities, clear communication, and supporting strong language development. I enjoy reading with children, encouraging curiosity, and exploring the environment through play and everyday experiences.
I value creating a calm and structured routine, with plenty of outdoor time when the weather allows, while ensuring a peaceful and quiet environment at home for rest and nap times.
I am also multilingual, which can be beneficial for a child’s development depending on the family’s needs. Alongside my nanny experience, I currently work as a care assistant, which has strengthened my patience, responsibility, and ability to handle different situations professionally.
My Experience
I have experience working as a nanny, including caring for twins and supporting children with additional needs. In this role, I helped maintain daily routines, supported development through structured activities, and ensured a safe, consistent, and caring environment tailored to each child.
Alongside this, I have professional care experience in high-responsibility settings, including night shifts supporting vulnerable individuals with personal care, routines, and safety monitoring. This has strengthened my ability to stay calm under pressure, be highly attentive, and respond appropriately to different needs.
I hold an enhanced DBS and bring strong qualities of reliability, patience, and emotional awareness. I am committed to providing stable, nurturing support and building long-term, trusting relationships with families.
