My Summary
About Me
I am a warm, caring, and dependable childcare professional who genuinely enjoys helping children learn, grow, and feel confident in themselves. Having worked both as a nanny and as a youth basketball coach for over six years, I have developed a strong understanding of how to support children's emotional, social, and developmental needs while creating a safe, structured, and nurturing environment.
I am an active and energetic person who loves engaging children in creative activities, outdoor play, sports, and educational games. I believe in encouraging independence, kindness, and confidence through positive guidance and consistent routines. Families often describe me as reliable, patient, and easy to communicate with, and I pride myself on building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents.
Originally from Sweden and currently studying in London, I bring a positive attitude, strong organisational skills, and a genuine passion for childcare. My goal is always to create a happy, supportive environment where children feel safe, valued, and encouraged to thrive.
My Experience
I have several years of experience caring for children of different ages, from toddlers to school-aged children, both in private family settings and through my professional work as a youth coach. My childcare responsibilities have included school pick-ups and drop-offs, preparing meals and snacks, supporting homework and learning activities, organising engaging indoor and outdoor play, and maintaining structured daily routines.
Alongside my nannying and babysitting experience, I spent six years as a Head Basketball Coach, working closely with children and teenagers aged 10–16. This role involved supervising groups of young people, ensuring their safety and well-being, supporting their personal development, and building positive relationships with both children and parents. In recognition of my commitment and leadership, I was awarded Coach of the Year in 2024.
Through these experiences, I have developed strong skills in child supervision, behaviour management, communication, organisation, and creating a safe, nurturing environment where children feel happy, supported, and encouraged to reach their full potential.
My Qualifications
I am DBS checked and hold current First Aid and CPR training, allowing me to respond confidently and appropriately in emergency situations. I also hold a coaching certification and have extensive experience working with children in both private childcare and professional coaching environments.
My background has provided me with strong skills in safeguarding, child supervision, behaviour management, and supporting children's emotional and physical development. I am committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and positive environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive.
