My Summary

My Experience

Since January 2022 I have looked after a newborn for his first six months of life and it's been absolutely wonderful- Unfortunately I had to resign from my role as I got accepted to a very important University for a full time course starting September 2022, so I am not looking for a new job at the moment, but I am open to babysittings if needed.

In 2020/2021 I worked full time for a lovely family in Southfields, with a 2yo boy and a 4yo girl. I was nanny housekeeper and had every type of duty, for real! But then, with the start of nursery and a change in the mom's working hours, they didn't need as many hours anymore, so I sadly have to leave the position- I still occasionally babysitting for them, but the best part is the wonderful connection I created with the family, which still invites me over for dinner and Musical Theatre nights where we're all there and just eat and play and sing all together.

Before this, I worked for 16 months for a wonderful family with three children (6, 6 and 8) that was settled in Wimbledon Park at the beginning, but moved to the countryside a bit more than a year later. I started driving back and forth to keep helping them, but after more than two months like that we sadly decided that the best for everyone was to separate.
My duties originally were to help them in the morning with tidying up the breakfast table and the kitchen, dressing up the kids with their uniforms and taking them to school, then in the afternoon I was meant to cook dinner (I'm a great cook!) and take them to the thousand of activities they used to have. With the lockdown through, I started to spend my whole day with the children, helping them with school zoom meetings, homeworks, P.E., playing games with them, everything while I was looking after the house, the laundry, the shopping, the kitchen. It's been tough, but also incredibly satisfying, and the bond we created was the best ever, we still see each other anytime we can!

I also worked 6 months for a family in Morden- three days a week were I used to look after a beautiful 6 months old boy and some days after his 6 and 9 years old sisters.

I moved in London in January 2019, but before I came here, in Italy I was a full time babysitter for a 6 years old girl until she was 10, plus some part time for children between 4 and 12.

My Qualifications

I have no official qualifications except for more than six years of experience. I'm valued by client families for warmth, professionalism, dedication and excellent judgement and I provide parents with an unwavering commitment to ensuring the safety and the welfare of their children.

I'm very flexible and always ready to help, and I also have a full EU driving licence and my own car.

Plus, in Italy I was an animator for children's parties as well, so I know how to take them both authoritatively and amusingly.

I love to play with them and have nice chats and being fun and everything, but when I need to be strict I basically turn into my tough italian mom!

Oh, and I'm a dog sitter as well and have a deep love for any type of animal, just saying
