About me

I’m married and have a 22 year old son. I'm caring, enthusiastic, dependable and hardworking. Always keen on learning new things. I love helping children reach their potential while encouraging learning through play, singing, going outdoors, messy play, reading, etc. I encourage independence and help them build self-confidence.


References for Nina

Nina has been working with us as a nanny for almost 5 years and started when my son was 6 years old. She picks him up from school, helps with home work drives him to play groups and activities. She organises everything including during half-term when she looks after him all day. Additionally, she also helps with household work related to him - preparing dinner, doing laundry, making sure his uniform is ready etc. She is super reliable and flexible. If we need her to work longer, she is always willing to do so. She is very organised and structured and has a really good relationship with my son. They trust each other and she has a good balance between friendly and strict. The most important thing for me is that when she is with him, I never have to worry about a thing. She really good at her job and I would absolutely recommend her.

Nina has been looking after both my children part-time for the last 3 years. She started with us when my younger one was two and a half. She does everything for the children, including morning school drop-offs, organising all their activities including play groups and play dates, and driving them there. She takes them to the library, to the park, to farms and does arts and crafts and lots of reading. She also cooks for the children. I find her very reliable. When she is with my kids, I never worry about them. She is very kind and gentle, but also managed to discipline them in the right way. My kids are super happy with her and I've been recommending her to quite a few people. I absolutely recommend her for childcare, whether it be babysitting, nanny or anything else.
