My Summary
About Me
Babysitter/Nanny/Traveling Nanny
16 years experienced Nanny with a passion for looking after children up to age 10, including new-borns, and children with special needs (Down syndrome or autistic) with a caring and nurturing approach. I am a easy going person with positive approach to life. I have gained significant experience in understanding children’s psychology, especially during the times of their biological, psychological and emotional development.
I got the chance to observe, understand and interact with children as they are going through such changes.
I have researched, and planned activities and games that can support children’s development during their emotional and psychological changes.
Alongside these activities and games that can help children in developing their brains, bodies and coordination, I have also researched nutrition for children to ensure that I provide the necessary nutrition in the best way to support their wellbeing. I am continually updating my knowledge about child development to include latest research.

Feedback by the Family
"Esra jumped right into our holiday swiftly, smoothly and seamlessly. She was communicative and thoughtful in leading up to the trip, and throughout. She connected quickly with the children and took utmost care, engaging them all the while helping with healthy meal prep, bath and bedtime routines without evening blinking an eye.
On the hot, hot days, she engaged the children indoors with arts and crafts, creative story and music time, and messy play activities. And when the time was right, she was sure to find the shady pockets outside when the days cooled down a bit for some outdoor fun so they could all run around and get some fresh air.
There were moments when I could hear genuine laughter and joy not only from the children, but from her too. We're so grateful that she was able to join us - truly helping us to make sure that we all enjoyed our holiday! "
