About Me

An enthusiastic, caring, reliable and trustworthy lady who loves working with children while developing their skills and abilities through indoor and outdoor activities by taking initiatives and promoting self-confidence.

Mom to a lovely and happy toddler.

Very happy to join local playgroups, dance/tennis/football/ballet/gymnastics/acro classes, give swimming lessons (as being a water polo team member for 5 years), organise outdoor trips and activities, bake with kids, cook, help with homework, do school runs, help with grocery shopping, organise wardrobes and playrooms, help with seasonal shopping, help with parties, advice for age appropriate and educational gifts for the kids and keep daily records for the parents.


Some of my hobbies include reading Classic literature, Montessori and pedagogical books, colouring, drawing, crafts, decorating, organising, making lists, playing chess, researching for educational toys for kids, and watching the "Super Nanny" TV show.

Non-smoker!

Valid and clean driving licence (own car).

Below are the latest reviews for Aspasia. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users 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.

Aspasia was the nanny of our daughter for 2 whole years. She became part of our family and our little one adored her. She has taught her so many things, she potty trained her, she taught her to talk, count, sing the abc and read so many books with her every day that our daughter learned them all by heart. They were going for a walk every day singing and saying poems from the books.
She is very calm, confident, patient and passionate for her job. She loves what she is doing and she created a very special bond with our daughter.
We were very lucky to have her and we highly recommend her.

Aspasia is a lovely person, reliable, punctual and very professional.
A neighbour of ours had recommended her and we are so grateful!
She is the best babysitter we have ever hired.
Our kids loved her. She gave them dinner, they played chess and then she started the bedtime routine with lots of reading.
She is very experienced and this gave us the confidence to go away and have fun.
We highly recommend her!! She is excellent!!

Aspasia has been looking after my 4 year old after school, and she is offering a safe and calm home from home environment. Typically my son needs his time with people, but with Aspasia he clicked straight away and comes home happy and calm every time.
