About me

I am a highly experienced professional nanny and babysitter with many years of experience and a master's degree in child and adolescent development.

Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience in the following areas:

  • Sole charge care for children aged between 6 months and 5 years old, including twins and caring for three children simultaneously.
  • Planning nutritious meals, maintaining a daily routine and being flexible with any necessary changes.
  • Organising fun and educational activities both indoors and outdoors, as well as planning outings, day trips and playdates and maintaining bedtime routines.
  • Assisting families during their holidays, weddings, and retreats.
  • Providing solo care for children while parents are away for a weekend.
  • Being comfortably flexible working either in sole charge or collaboratively with families.
  • Working with families from various cultural backgrounds and high-status households, ensuring I respect their values, traditions and confidentiality.

I recognise that each child is unique; therefore, I facilitate an individual approach and a way to create connection — to maintain a warm, kind, fun environment and, when necessary, to be firm.

As a nanny, I am trustworthy, reliable, can think on my own feet and have excellent communication skills. I am proactive and receptive, always aiming to align and collaborate respectfully with each family's values and parenting style.

A nanny and babysitter for 6 years, Inese is Ofsted registered, and has looked after children of both genders within the ages of 9 months up to 7 years, including extensive experience being a nanny to twin boys and twin girls. She is currently studying counselling.

Inese has worked for us as live-in nanny for the last 2 years. During that time her responsibilities were to care for our 3 girls who are currently aged 7, 4 and 4. Over this period she has proved to be punctual, dependable and reliable. Most importantly she has been an excellent guardian for the children.

She is able to impose discipline in a very measured and effective manner. At the same time she also stimulates the children during fun and playful activities. We think that handling 3 girls (including twins) between toddler and childhood is both physically and psychologically demanding. We have thus been very impressed with Inese's ability. 

— Rachel G

lnese has been the nanny to our 2 children, an 18 month girl and 3 year old boy, for the past 7 months. The children love her and always seem to have a good time when she is around. They are happy to see her when she walks in the door in the morning, and regularly ask if lnese is coming today, or invite her to stay to eat dinner with us at the end of the day. lnese regularly cooks lunch for both children, while taking into account that our son has an allergy to dairy. She cleans after herelf and regularly helps with making our small kitchen cleaner than the way it was left.

Her duties have been varied and informal: she often dresses both children, brushes hair and teeth, picks up from nursery, takes the children to the park, playground, libraries, or stay and play groups. lnese managed to potty train my older child, where both his nursery teacher and parents failed.

She takes the children out to various activities every day that she works. While our younger child has a nap, she works on writing letters and numbers with our son and has even supplied him with workbooks and learning tools.

“First time using this service so was a bit nervous but Innes arrived on time and was very professional and polite. My two year old was already in bed so Innes was mainly interacting with my nine year old son. They quickly established a rapport and I felt confident in leaving him in her care. My son was happy and Innes texted me to confirm once he'd gone to bed. Many thanks! ”
