My Experience
As a mother of three boys, I have always been passionate about childminding. Starting in Greece, where I began babysitting at a young age, I have cared for countless children over the years.
Raising my boys has taught me invaluable lessons in patience, creativity, and love, providing deep insights into children's needs at various stages. With extensive experience, I offer comprehensive care for children from newborns to school-age, ensuring a nurturing and stimulating environment for their growth. Parents can trust that their children are in loving, capable hands, as I handle a wide range of situations with confidence and work closely with parents to ensure each child's well-being
