My Summary

My Experience

I have experience looking after children both within my family and through my professional experience. During my Physiotherapy degree, I completed placements in different healthcare settings, including paediatric practice, where I gained experience interacting with children and understanding their individual needs. I have also looked after 2 young girls for 5-6 years, helping with meals, playtime, routines and activities. I am currently working as an au pair in the UK, looking after children and helping with their daily routines, meals, homework, reading and activities.

My Qualifications

I am a qualified Physiotherapist, having recently completed my university degree in Spain. My healthcare background has given me a good understanding of children’s development, safety and individual needs, as well as strong communication, responsibility and observation skills. I am also comfortable helping with physical activities and encouraging children to stay active. I speak Spanish and Catalan fluently and have a good level of English.

My Availability

I am currently looking for part-time or regular nanny and babysitting opportunities. I am flexible with my availability and can consider mornings, afternoons, after-school care and occasional evening babysitting. I am particularly interested in finding a regular position where I can build a good relationship with the children and become a reliable part of the family’s routine. My availability can be discussed depending on the family’s needs.

My Fees

• Babysitting from £18.00 per hour
• Nannying from £18.00 per hour (gross)

My fees depend on the type of childcare, number of children, hours and responsibilities involved. For regular nanny work, I am generally looking for around £18–£25 per hour, depending on the position and location. I am happy to discuss the rate with each family and agree on something that is fair for both sides.
