My Summary
About Me
Looking for ad hoc work Fridays and Saturdays and evening babysitting only.
Hi, I’m Kate – a nurturing, fun and proactive nanny with a genuine love for children and a deep understanding of early childhood development.
My approach is gentle, consistent and developmentally focused. I don’t use time outs or harsh consequences. I believe in positive reinforcement, building secure relationships, and leading by example.
I have a special interest in early years attachment and emotional wellbeing. I’ve recently completed a Child Psychology course and attended a ‘Supporting Children’s Emotional Wellbeing’ workshop at the Montessori Institute.
I’m currently training as a Montessori Assistant.
With plenty of experience caring for newborns, babies and toddlers, I’m confident supporting families through key stages like establishing routines, weaning and potty training.
I’m very active and love getting out and about with the children – swimming, playdates, parks, classes, museums and all kinds of adventures.
I sing most Disney princess songs by heart and can recite the entire Julia Donaldson collection before I’ve had my morning coffee!
I’m always happy to help around the house when needed, and I enjoy cooking healthy meals or batch cooking for the whole family if time allows.
Originally from Hungary, I speak fluent English and have a strong understanding of both German and Portuguese, though I’m a little rusty when it comes to speaking them.
I love the outdoors, photography and anything nature-related – and I come with glowing references and a warm, enthusiastic approach.
I’d love to be part of your family’s journey.

• Weaning and potty training
• Baby sign language
• Cooking healthy, age-appropriate meals
• Supporting emotional wellbeing and independence

I bring a calm, nurturing approach and always aim to create a secure, stimulating environment where children can thrive.

Below are the latest reviews for Kate. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk members and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
Kate worked for me as a full-time nanny from April 2009 until October 2013. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Children love her and she is the type of nanny any family would be delighted (and fortunate) to have. For most of the time she looked after my older daughter who was 6 months old when Kate started and just five when she left. Latterly she also looked after my younger daughter too, born June 2013. She is fun, fair, sociable, hard-working, bright, proactive, sensible and utterly reliable. I would not hesitate to reemploy her if I had the chance.
