Babysitter in Reading
My Summary
About Me
I am a caring, reliable, and qualified Nanny and Early Years Practitioner living in Reading (RG1). I have a genuine passion for supporting children’s development through play-based learning, creative activities, arts and crafts, and structured daily routines. I promote positive behaviour, ensure children’s safety and wellbeing at all times, and build strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents. As a native Greek speaker, I can also introduce the Greek language through songs, storytelling, and play if desired!
My Experience
I have been living in the UK since 2015, working as a private nanny for families in London and Cambridge with children aged 9 months to 5 years. My duties include full-time and part-time care, preparing healthy and nutritious meals, school drop-offs and pick-ups, nappy changes, and organising creative indoor and outdoor developmental play. Prior to moving to the UK, I worked for 5 years (2010–2015) as a Nursery Assistant in a day nursery in Greece, supporting children aged 1 to 5 years with school readiness, sensory play, storytelling, and daily self-care routines.
My Qualifications
I hold a Level 3 Diploma in Early Years Education and Childcare with Health and Social Care, an up-to-date Level 3 Emergency Paediatric First Aid certificate (completed in December 2025), and recently finished the Realise Early Years Skills Bootcamp (November 2025). Additionally, I hold a Level 4 Vocational Training Diploma in Hotel Services and Catering Management, and have strong knowledge of the EYFS framework and safeguarding awareness.
