My Summary
About Me
Hello!
I am half Maltese and half Scottish and I relocated to the U.K around 14 years ago from Malta.
I have always loved taking care of children and now that I am a mum of 2 (one born August 2017 and one in October 2023) I think my experience and understanding towards looking after children has grown even more. I am extremely patient, caring and very empathetic. Qualities that I think are essential when looking after little ones.
I am a very outgoing person who loves long walks and enjoys being outdoors.
I love getting creative with arts and crafts, baking and I also enjoy reading too.
I know that your children are the most important aspects of your life and I take great pride in offering the best possible care so that your little ones can thrive.
If the weather is nice we will be outside playing and exploring. If not we will be indoors where the children can practise free play, messy play, sing/dance, read stories, painting/colouring. Or anything that the children enjoy doing.
I am looking for a part time position. Preferably 1 full day a week or 2 half days.
(Looking to bring my youngest daughter along with me. I can also offer care in my home setting where I have a dedicated play room filled with toys, books, sofa and tv.)
Thank you for taking the time to look through my profile.
If you wish to get in touch please feel free to contact me.
My Experience
I have 10 years+ experience working as a nanny.
2020-2024;
Part time nanny.
Looking after a child in my home setting one full day a week. Activities include walks in the woods, going to the playground. Also various arts&crafts, reading and small world play at home.
My daughter would be present during the school holidays. However my youngest is now also present on that one full day a week.
End of 2019;
Part time “temp nanny” (covering maternity leave) looking after 2 children aged 4 and 8. Duties included picking up from school, making dinner etc I was also very fortunate to be able to take my daughter along with me.
Early 2019;
Part time “temp role” (covering maternity leave) for a family with 4 children (age ranging from 3-10) I was also able to take my little girl along with me. The family required a full time nanny come September 2019.
My longest role was looking after two children aged 7 and 9.
I had been in the same position for around 3 and a half years. Unfortunately they relocated to Ireland.
I then worked for around 9 months for a family that had two children aged 7 and 2. I then went on maternity leave in 2017.
I also have previous experience to both these roles working as a nanny. (See C.V.)
When living in Malta I taught English as a foreign language.
I was also studying for a BSc Honors Degree in Communication Therapy.
I was on my second year when I decided to move over to the U.K.
Throughout the course I observed a lot of children in different developmental stages.
I also had a lot of interaction with children that had specific needs in the clinic.
Within my time at the university of Malta, I also studied a number of courses in psychology/child psychology.
Please have a look at "My documents" where you can find my C.V. for more information regarding my work experience.

Kirsty has been our nanny since my little one was 6m old until he went to school. For us, she felt like an extended part of the family and they had so much fun together. My son was always happy when it was time to drop him off at her house. "It's Kirsty day! I'm so excited".
She was also very reliable and we knew we had someone to call in case of an emergency.
We're very grateful for the 4 years together and we will all miss her!
