My Summary
About Me
Hi, I´m Marie-Louise from Denmark.
By profession, I am a certified reflexologist and Positive Psychology counsellor.
I came to the UK in Dec. 2019 and from January 2020 I worked as a Nanny for a single
dad taking care of his almost 2-year-old son and occasionally his 7-year-old daughter.
After that, I was then hired for a short period by a young couple once a week, to look after their 7-month-old son, as the mother needed to recharge her batteries after a difficult pregnancy and labour.
Then I worked in another Nanny position for two surgeons looking after their two young sons ages 5 and 7 for 6 1/2 months.
In the summer of 2023, I ended a position as a Nanny/childcarer working for an American Air Force family (with an excellent Recommendation Letter). I worked for them for 8 1/2 months where I took care of their little 5 1/2 yr old girl.
During the summer of 2023, I had several short stand-in jobs. I was looking after a very nice doctor´s 9-year-old son with milder multispectrum Autism.
Then a couple, who very shortly visited Cambridge, booked me to look after their 6-year-old daughter with more severe Autism plus a baby boy.
In September 2023 I worked in a stand-in position for a couple of weeks looking after a little
6-month-old baby boy until the family went to the US.
Currently, I´m working as a Nanny/childcarer in a part-time position until approximately the 10th. May 2024, when the mother & child I work for, travel back to their home country for 4 months.
- I WILL THEN BE AVAILABLE FOR STAND-IN JOBS & BABYSITTING DURING THAT PERIOD
OR LONGER DEPENDING ON WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR.
Only working part-time gives me the freedom also to do babysitting and stand-in jobs on the sidelines which I enjoy quite a lot.
I have worked with many people from various parts of the world, within my field of work as well as volunteering, so I am used to interacting with people of all kinds, ages, and cultures.
I am a positive, calm, fun and honest person, firm but fair, who has travelled a lot earlier (and lived in four different countries).
- I prefer taking care of one child at a time.
As I get around by bike I am only available in the areas not too far from the city centre.
I am also happy with working short/shorter stand-in positions. On top of that, I am also a
huge animal lover, ( dogs & cats) as long as they are well-behaved.
I am fully COVID-19 vaccinated + 2 x Booster and am a non-smoker.
UPDATE: a new NEGATIVE COVID test has just been taken on 12/05/2024.
Thank you for having taken the time to read my profile :-)
