Nanny in London: Brent (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
My name is Ana Paula and I am originally from Brazil. I have been living in London for 25 years.
I am warm, expressive and have a good sense of humour, with an easy laugh. At the same time, I am extremely responsible and dependable. I take my commitments seriously and dedicate myself fully to the families I work with. I genuinely love working with children and bring over 20 years of professional experience to my role.
I am bilingual (Portuguese and fluent English) and enjoy sharing my language and culture with the children I care for.
I have been working with the same family for the last nine years. I was their full-time nanny initially, and I now work with them as an after-school nanny. My experience also includes three years as a Nursery Officer in a Montessori school and over 17 years as a sole-charge nanny. In addition, I bring the invaluable experience of being a mother.
Throughout my career, I have worked with children of various age groups. I am adaptable, organised and self-motivated, and I aim to create a safe, structured and nurturing environment where children feel secure and are able to thrive.
I am flexible, honest and hardworking, with strong personal integrity. I build trusting relationships with both children and parents, and I take great pride in being reliable and supportive to the families I work with.
Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Ana Paula De Medeiros
