My Summary
Nanny & Sleep Consultant
About Me
Experienced Nanny & Sleep Consultant Available – Level 6 Qualified
From January 2025, I’ll be ready to jump into a nanny role 3-4 days a week (and I might be able to squeeze in a day or two before then).
As a highly experienced mum and nanny, I bring a mix of organization, creativity, and punctuality. Oh, and I love being outside—there’s no such thing as bad weather, just bad outfit choices! So rain or shine, we’ll be out and about.
Few bits about me:
Outdoor Adventurer: I’m all about outdoor fun, whether it's exploring London’s best kids' spots in Hackney, Dalston, or Islington, or heading out for a stroll in the rain (don’t worry, I’m raincoat-ready).
Culinary Wiz: Cooking and baking withand for kids is my thing! I’ve got sneaky recipes that pack in the veggies without anyone noticing (beetroot muffins, anyone? Shh, it’s a secret!). Plus, I’m a pro at handling food allergies—gluten, dairy, or egg-free? No problem!
Always on the Go: Soft plays, paddling pools, adventure parks—you name it, we’ll be there. I love discovering new ways to keep kids entertained and active. Of course, rest time is always part of the plan—no one can play 24/7, not even me!
Routine Master: Keeping kids safe, happy, and smiling comes down to a solid routine, and I’m all about that. A well-planned day helps everyone feel secure—and yes, this means fewer meltdowns and more giggles.
Parent Partner: I’m big on communication. I work closely with parents, making sure we’re on the same page. Your parenting style is my guide, and I listen carefully to your needs (no judgment here—I’m a mum too, I get it!).
Multiple-Kid Ninja: Whether it’s a nanny-share or wrangling up to five kids at once, I’ve got the skills.
And as a Level 6 Qualified Sleep Consultant, I can help get your little one sleeping soundly, giving you the gift of peaceful nights ?
I speak fluent English and Polish, and as a mum of 2 boys You might guess that I’m not afraid of spiders, dirt, or muddy puddles—bring it on!
Looking forward to hearing from you!

We could not recommend Karolina anymore highly. She has played such an important role in the development of our daughter, and she has given her the best support as she has matured.
Our daughter was taken on from about 13 months, and while slightly nervous on her first day, she has since then been waiting each morning at the front door desperate to learn what Karolina has planned for the day head. She takes them on so many activities, so much outdoor time time, next to no television, and ensures that there are lots of encounters with other children, which has been so important in developing our daughters interpersonal skills, and has led to many friendships for our daughter. There is genuine affection, and it does not come across as being a job for Karolina. It has been such a happy time for our daughter. Punctuality, food preparation, variety of food are all faultless. A wonderful nanny, who we will all be very sad to not see the whole time.

Karolina has been nanny for our two boys (then 2 and 7 months now 4 and 2 years) and has been incredible with the boys and brilliantly integrated with the family. She is a total pro both in terms of knowing the area and having fun, engaging activities but also in being brilliant and deeply caring and fun with both of them. They love her. We love her. She’s also a fab cook and an excellent sleep coach, with practical child (and family!) friendly advice and support. Much needed with our youngest… when the eldest went to pre-school we were lucky to shift to a nanny share which worked brilliantly. Karolina is unflappable and tends to multiple children’s’ needs with calm ease and compassion. She’s a total star.

Karolina worked for us for 2 years starting when our son was 6 months old, and then again for six months after our daughter was born. She is a fantastic nanny: creative, fun, adaptable, and always full of energy and good humour! She was great at finding activities including playgroups, softplay and art clubs in stoke Newington – she has an amazing knowledge of the area – and at home would cook really delicious food which my husband and I enjoyed too. She was always taking the kids out and about but would also play creatively with them at home. I strongly recommend her to any family.

Karolina was a fantastic nanny to our son from when he was eight months old. She is highly experienced and I felt totally at ease leaving my baby with her when I returned to work. Karolina is very energetic and practical and was great at planning fun activities, whether at home or out at playgroups, soft play etc. But just as importantly, she maintained a great napping routine for our son and was amazing caring for him when he was ill. Karolina is super organised and fantastic at meal planning, always preparing delicious, healthy food from scratch. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to another family!

Overall
Karolina is wonderful. She’s professional, dedicated, super experienced but also just a lovely person who relates completely to all the trials and tribulations of having young children. She’s a well known figure in N16 especially. She knows this whole area like the back of her hand including all the stuff kids love. She’s as great with babies as she is toddlers and kids. She’s a great cook and has loads of knowledge on nutrition and how to get round tricky allergies / intolerances. She always used to leave leftovers that we’d devour in the evenings! She really is the nanny you hope is available because she’s so quickly booked up!
