My Summary
About Me
Hello families!
My name is Mimi & I am 34 years old from the UK. I was living in Australia from 2017-2023 but I had to come back to the UK whilst my mother recovered from an operation. I thought I was only going to be here briefly but I’m here to stay due to helping care for mum!
Whilst I have been back I naturally fell back into nanny roles that worked for me and my schedule as I had to be around a lot at home to help my mum. I am currently working 3 days a week with B-5 & G-2 and have been with them over a year now, going from 4 days a week down to 3.
I have over 10 years experience working with children from childminding settings/daycare settings & my favourite, nannying! I have been with most of my nanny families for over 2 years and have cared for more than one child at a time usually. I care for children aged from under one to 12! I mainly have nannied for children between the ages 1-5.
I am a friendly, approachable, enthusiastic people person. I am laid back and can easily fit in with families and their lives. I have always had a passion for working with children and love watching them develop and grow into mini adults!
I am going through a bit of a transition work wise which is why I wanted to update my profile and be clear about what I am looking for and hopefully find a family that matches!
Since being back in the UK, whilst still have the passion of looking after children, I don’t want to be a nanny forever! I completed a level 2 child counselling course as it is a big interest of mine and a kids yoga teacher course which I absolutely loved! On my days off I have been working alongside other kids yoga companies teaching in nurseries and holiday camps. I have also started started my adult yoga teacher training.
Preferably, I would like to find something similar to what I’m doing now. Three days but long enough hours such as 7.30-6/6.30. Whilst I love what I do when it comes to nannying I would like a family to understand that I am using my other time to eventually break into something else.
I am always happy to help with kids related tidying up/dishwasher/putting kids laundry away, however If children are sleeping I do like to use this time to get work done on my laptop also.
I am still a great nanny and my other interests do not effect my time with the kids I am looking after :) they also love to do kids yoga!
The family I work for have moved so my commute is a bit trickier. I am looking for something more in the twicenham/teddington/richmond etc… area!
Sorry for waffling on! I just think it’s good to be clear as I get lots of messages of people looking for all sorts of hours so it’s got to not waste anyone’s time!
Thanks for reading this far! I’d love to speak to some families that think it would be a good match! Mimi x

I couldn't recommend Mimi more highly - she is an absolutely wonderful nanny and we are devastated to be losing her. She is reliable, honest, punctual, friendly, warm and caring - our children adore her and so do I. She is very experienced, calm under pressure and a pleasure to be around. I am completely relaxed about leaving our children in her care as I know she will take the absolute best care of them. Nothing is ever too much trouble and I know I will return home to happy, well-fed children and a spotless house - I don't know how she does it! She is a star and any family who has Mimi as a part of their lives is extremely lucky.

We have had the pleasure of having Mimi be the full-time nanny to our baby girl since she was 5 months old. Beatrice is now 13 months.
My husband is british French and I am American living in Chiswick both working full-time. We have been offered relocation to the US so are very sad to be leaving Mimi.
In the early days going back to work was a tough choice for me but the minute I met Mimi I was put at ease and felt confident with our little Beatrice in her care.
Mimi is extremely warm, fun loving caring and nurturing with an abundance of experience from childminding to nannying and working in a nursery full time.
Mimi helped guide us through the weening stage - new foods, getting on a nap schedule, doctors appointments, making fresh food for Beatrice picking up her formula and food needs, bathing her, etc. I had to go to the US for a month on business and Mimi and Beatrice came with me which made the trip so much better!
What was most special and impactful I think is Mimi would get out several times a day and actively seek out new classes (Little Gym, swimming, play groups and more) or just meet friends and play dates at the park, farm or zoo.
In my mind Mimi's ideal family would be a trusting lovely family that allowed her to suggest activities and schedules that are good for both the baby / children.
We will certainly miss Mimi tremendously and the next family that has her will be VERY lucky indeed.
