My Summary
About Me
I am a highly experienced and Professional English Teacher, Nanny and Tutor with over 30 years of dealing with children and students of all ages.
This is my occupation which I adore doing so much as I find it absolutely fulfilling and very worthwhile. I am Honest, Kind, Patient, Firm but Fair, Loving and Sympathetic,
Always Balancing every situation to provide the correct outcome.
I create an environment surrounding the child with active and educational means while still being fun. Learning and studying for the child are both of the utmost priority to me.
I am extremely reliable and punctual and I teach any child in my care to be the same . I have great organisational skills and try to provide the child with a life which is entertaining, fulfilling and worthwhile by teaching songs, rhymes, words, playing games,making arts and crafts and by arranging playdates so the children can always build self-confidence and become independent.
I always try to be supportive with parenting choices and provide updates with photos and videos during the day so parents feel secure and happy with their child's development.
I am a good cook and provide only the freshest of meals each day with a varied menu. I feel it is important to maintain a good diet including as much vegetables and fruit as possible as I am Greek by birth and my upbringing is that of cooking Mediterranean dishes which are wholesome , nourishing and tasty.
To sum up as this is my lifetime career I wish to work for a family that has the same caring attitude as I myself offer to them. I feel it is a very important issue that we gain an ambience from the very outset and use this as a means of providing the very best for the child.
Should you wish for any references please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you.

Aleka looked after my daughter on a regular basis and my daughter warmed to her quickly. She has a natural instinct with children of all ages and an warm and cheerful maternal disposition.
I always felt confident leaving my daughter in her care. Not only is she a great cook but she would organize fun age appropriate activities that my daughter always enjoyed.
We wish her all the best for the future and a great family that will love her as we came to love her.
