About Me

Hello All,

My name is Timnit , I am originally from Eritrea, but I was born and grew up in Italy.
I am a Mum of three gorgeous girls .
I am 36 years of age, responsible and mature especially when it comes to take care of vulnerable little and adults people.
i'm an experienced warm,nanny/carer who is firm but fair.
I have been looking after babies and children for more than 10 years .
I find looking after children quite rewarding, and I feel really privileged to have been involved in the education and development of the children I have worked with so far.
-I can follow the routine that has been set out from the family/and collaborate to create one.
-I cook to a reasonable standard for the child/children
-I am a person who enjoys being outdoors in all kinds of weather , doing different activities,
who is motivated
who can work under own initiative.

I am passionate about working with children, helping them develop and exploring their world through play. I have worked with children from early age to 10 years old for the past 10 years as a full/part-time nanny with own child, sole charge and mother's help.

I believe that it is important to implement the routine that each family prefers but I bring to that routine my own love of playing games and encouraging children to be imaginative and to have fun.
I understand the need to be 100% reliable and punctual and of maintaining great communication with the parents whilst their children are in my care.


Therefore i have a DBS CHECK registered on the updated service.

NOT CURRENTLY OFSTED REGISTERED- Happy to become if family requires/wishes

My Experience

Experience:

Oct 2024 - Jan 2025
Part-time role: Nanny to a 4 months boy -Hackney wick
Duties include: sole responsibility for the child; organising and delivering a daily schedule to include preparation of and feeding all meals, indoor play, local activity, nap times.
Jan 2024 - July 2024
Advisor and Elderly Project Worker - Eritrean Community in UK (ECUK), Islington, London
April 2023 - December 2023
Volunteer Advisor and Elderly Project Worker - ECUK, Islington, London
~Advice & Information – 1-1 appointments with the elderly to provide advice on health, benefits, pensions, debt and any financial issues. I’ll signpost them to the correct information and assist in booking the necessary appointments, completing application forms on their behalf, and translating.
~ Developing and managing health, social and cultural activity programmes for the elderly to introduce them to activities they may not easily have access to or may be excluded from.
~ Monthly or bi-monthly awareness raising workshops and events arranged and delivered with a health focus e.g. workshops addressing healthy eating, how to budget for food shopping, menu planning, how to develop a healthy lifestyle etc.
~ Provide informal cultural appropriate advice/ counselling where necessary
~ Liaise between clients and external agencies to achieve services/support best
~ Use IT for statistical and record-keeping and document, and prepare periodic report
In addition to working with the elderly, I work directly with diverse groups of families who come seeking advice around various issues including:
~ Homelessness - I help signpost them to the necessary information, and as a result of what they choose to do and their circumstances, I direct them to the council, help them apply for housing and guide them to where they can apply for food vouchers.
~ Family interrelationship issues - Mediating between adults to help them resolve the issues within their relationship and help them understand the cultural and social differences in the UK relating to raising children. The goal is to mitigate any risks that could result in the children being taken away from their home.

~ General life admin - Majority of the families I work with have recently immigrated to the UK so they struggle to understand the day to day life admin. For example, I help them understand any bills they receive, any grants they are eligible to apply for, translating government documents.
~ Help the families plan any activities for their children during half term.
April 2023 - July 2023
Refugee Support - Casework Volunteer, British Red Cross, London
Part-time role and the duties include:

their mental health and self harming, and I act as appropriate. .

Achievements: One of the goals in this role was to align the schedule of the two girls because the grandmother struggled to handle the two routines that the children were used to in their own families and nursery. By the end of my position, they had a set routine and the grandmother was more equipped in maintaining the routine.

~ I helped the family register with the GP, arranging doctor/dentist appointments, arranging the immunisation of the children.
~ Taking the family to the local library and identifying different activities for the children.
~ Providing advice and guidance on coping as a first time parent and child development June 2020 Sept 2020 - A single mum with twins
~ The mum had language barriers (Eritrean nationality) and so I helped her with resolving issues with the council, attending important meetings to help translate conversations, and applying for grants to help with the costs of house appliances.

I work from home full-time and returned to work when my son was just six months old. Initially, we were considering a childminder, but I wasn’t ready to be apart from him at such a young age. That’s when we decided to explore having a nanny as a short-term solution while he got older.

I didn’t think it would be so easy to find someone I trusted with my son while he was so young, but Timnit made that happen. Her interaction with our son has been amazing. She knows when to let him quietly observe and take in his surroundings and when to engage him with play and songs. Her confidence and warmth made it easy for me to trust her, even when she took him out.
One of the things I appreciated about Timnit was her genuine interest in my son’s development. She quickly got to know him and noticed the small details—like his teething and sleep patterns—and made thoughtful suggestions that really helped us. For example, she encouraged us to turn his pram forward-facing, which completely changed how much he enjoyed going out. She also took pride in helping him grow, celebrating milestones like improvements in his naps.

Our son was clearly happy and comfortable in her care.

She worked 3 days a week and her role included taking my son to a local children’s centre, feeding him, changing nappies, putting him down for naps - basically keeping him happy and engaged, which she dies

I would recommend Timnit to any family looking for someone who will connect with their child and who they can trust, especially with young babies.

She’s also a mother to three beautiful, bright children, which is a testament to her experience and nurturing nature.

We’ve been grateful to have had Timnit caring for our son during this time.

Timnit was absolutely brilliant. She was very kind and nurturing to our 2yo, always punctual, diligent, very organised and communication was always clear. We’d have loved to keep her for longer but dates and availability didn’t work out. Haven’t rated setting or food because she came to my mum’s house to look after our child.

Timnit has been an absolute blessing for our family. From the very first day, it was clear that she has a natural gift for working with children. She is incredibly patient, nurturing, and truly attentive to our kids’ individual needs and personalities.

What stands out most about Timnit is the genuine care and effort she puts into engaging our children in meaningful and fun activities. She also fosters a great sense of responsibility and manners in them, which we really appreciate.

She is always punctual, reliable, and communicates effectively with us about the kids’ day, their meals, naps, and milestones. Timnit is proactive and thoughtful, even helping out with small household tasks when the kids are napping.

Our children adore Timnit and light up every time she arrives. It’s clear that she has become a trusted part of their lives, and ours too. We couldn’t be more grateful for the care and love Timnit provides. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for someone exceptional to care for their children.

Timnit is a wonderful person and a fantastic nanny. For around nine months, she helped my mum one day every week, looking after my daughter and niece (who had both just turned 1 when she started). Timnit immediately built a bond with the girls and they became very fond of her very quickly. She is always incredibly caring, warm, reliable and helpful, and my mum couldn’t have spoken more highly of her and how essential she was on those days. As a parent, I had complete faith in her – she always inspired complete trust and our daughter’s connection with her spoke for itself. She also often shared photos of what they were all up to throughout the day, which was lovely. I can highly recommend her.

Aw Bless ! Thank you guys🙏🏾

Timnit is a fantastic woman - she is buzzing with warmth and creativity and got along with our son straight away. She was very respectful and genuinely interested in him as a person and character. Timnit spent a few days with him when we needed emergency child care, as well as babysitting in the evening, feeding him and putting him to bed. We also really value the multiple languages Timnit speaks, so our son could practice hearing and familiarising himself with Italian as he is growing up in a bilingual family. We were very grateful to have Timnit living near us whilst we were in Islington.
