My Summary
About Me
I am 30 y.o. energetic and educated nanny/housekeeper. I am big fun of healthy lifestyle in case of cooking and physical activities.
Supporting and organizing family life is my passion and I have almost 8 years of experience as a domestic help, nanny, housekeeper, PA, babysitter, SEN nanny.
* native Polish, fluent English, basic Spanish speaker.
I am patient, joyful and nurturing. I strive to promote a healthy lifestyle and focus on the development of children both in terms of education and emotional development. I encourage children to use their potential by stimulating their imagination and enthusiasm for learning.
My goal is to help children become confident individuals with a fundamental belief in their own abilities. I am constantly striving to improve myself and I am eager to learn new theories, methods, and strategies. My work-style is based on being like a big sister figure to children while, at the same time, teaching them good manners, rules, discipline, and respect for others.
I can work independently and manage my time well. I also work well in a team in a busy household.
My diverse professional experience (I've worked with many different families, children of different ages and development levels) allows me to look at the situation from different perspectives and solve problems in and out of the box and effective way.
Working with people with disabilities has taught me great patience and understanding. I also have an ability to remain calm in stressful situations. I treat everyone individually and look for personalized and appropriate solutions.
I really like to introduce routines and habits that help organize, stabilize and make life easier for every family. I believe that a well-organized home is easier for us to relax and de-stress.
I am a professional, reliable, and very hard-working person. I always perform the duties entrusted to me with great care and professionalism. I am open to suggestions, flexible and easily adapt to the needs of each family.
I am willing to babysit, work weekends, overnights and travel with family (up to 3 weeks in a row) as long as I am informed well in advance.
I prefer a full-time (45-50h/week), live-out, long-term job as a nanny/housekeeper/PA.

My Experience
>>> Experience as a nanny/ SEN nanny
I have enough experience and knowledge to look after children from 3 months to 14 years old. I have also worked with children with special needs (autism, ADHD, non-verbal, Deaf, global developmental delay, wheelchair users, Down Syndrome).
I supported families in all responsibilities related to running the nursery and school, transport and subsequent collection from the nursery/school, support with weaning, establishing and observing routine sleeping and feeding times. Stimulating development through educational play, helping with homework, taking children to parks and playgrounds, play dates, organizing activities that help children in their development, doing arts and crafts, helping with dinner and bath time, getting children ready to bed.
In my time, I have accumulated many tools and ways that help support and encourage children's development. During my career, I had the pleasure of working with and learning from high-class specialists specializing in helping children work on their disabilities or problems with emotional control, self-expression, motivation and self-confidence.
* For a year I was a teacher of robotics and programming as part of extracurricular activities in primary schools - which allowed me to look at childcare from a teacher's perspective. I discovered in myself big passion for teaching children and supporting them in discovering the world around them.
* I am happy to teach Polish and basic Spanish.
>>> Experience as a housekeeper:
For many years I have been helping families organize their homes to make them more functional and easy to keep clean. I am distinguished by attention to detail and willing use of my own initiative. I usually offer help with all household chores (cooking, laundry, ironing, cleaning, deep cleaning, office help, shopping, wardrobe management, travel preparation, help with pets and plants). I helped families to organize luxurious dinners and parties. During many years of working with other housekeepers, chefs, nannies, carers, private drivers and tutors, I have gathered experience and vast knowledge of running and supporting a large family that needs a lot of support and organization at a high level. I watched the lives of different families and their schemes and solutions working in specific situations, which gives me composure and peace during work full of challenges and emergency situations.
>>> Experience as a PA:
Working for big families (also for HNW and UHNW families) in large, busy and fully staffed houses, I was responsible for organizing the family calendar and keeping an eye on all planned events, meetings, trips and additional activities, as well as related logistics, running smoothly and without complications. I also dealt with the receipt and returns of orders. Organizing grocery and clothing purchases for the whole family. I also dealt with matters related to children's education - schools, tutors, additional activities. In case of emergency, contacts with doctors.
>>> Voluntary experience:
* I worked in non-governmental organizations supporting people with disabilities. We helped them with their daily chores and errands.
* Together with my friends, I founded an association that organizes additional classes for children and adults in the field of law and administration.
* During my studies, as a member of university associations, I organized additional educational activities for children and youth from small towns, which were supposed to equalize their chances of success in the future.

It was our first experience, we were so worried. Anna was great very polite,professional and friendly. Definitely recommend.
We used Anna for a week to look after our 2 year old daughter. She was so good at making my daughter feel at ease straight away and my daughter took a liking to her and warmed to her really well. She also took time to understand the routine and is an excellent communicator. She also seems to have the ability to understand what we parents wanted without us having to explain everything. She was good at observing and getting on with it. Would definitely recommend her for anyone searching for a temp or permanent nanny.
Anna has been an absolute Godsent for us. I was travelling with my 7 month old daughter for the first time and this environment was absolutely new for her. She had a horrible in-flight experience and we were in dire need of someone reliable to take care of her and to make her feel 'settled'. Anna's warmth and care really helped my daughter feel at ease and moreover Anna clearly followed all my instructions to the T, when it came to my daughter's daily routine, since my daughter is accustomed to being looked after in a specific way. All our prayers and best wishes are for Anna and I can personally vouch that she will be a delight to any family that will be engaging with her.
We went with another nanny due to location and timings but Anna was great with communication and super helpful in the process.
I only spoke to Anna over the phone but she was so professional and instilled a lot of trust with her extensive experience as a nanny/ housekeeper.
I was only looking for a part-time, temporary babysitter so unfortunately our needs didn’t match but she will be an asset to any family who employ her.
