My Summary
Experienced Private Nanny – 11+ Years | Montessori & Gentle Parenting Approach | Newborn–12 Y
About Me
Hello, my name is Alexandra. I’m originally from Greece and I am currently the last 8 year living and working in the United Kingdom as a private professional nanny. I am fluent in both English and Greek.
I am a hardworking, loving and enthusiastic person who truly enjoys caring for children of all ages. I am currently studying towards my Level 3 Childcare / Early Years Educator qualification, and before moving to the UK I studied as a Nursery Nurse Assistant in Greece. I also hold an AMI Montessori Assistant Certificate (3–6 years), which strongly influences my childcare style.
I enjoy planning meaningful activities that support each child’s individual development — from sensory play and fine motor skills to outdoor adventures, creative learning and confidence-building. I also love spending time outdoors where children can explore, move freely, and socialise with others.
Children’s safety, emotional wellbeing and daily routines are always my top priorities. I am friendly, polite, reliable and fully committed to my work. Families describe me as loving, patient, responsible, and highly professional.
My Experience
I am 32 years old and I have over 11 years of childcare and nanny experience, caring for children from newborns to 12 years old.
My experience includes:
• Newborn and baby care (feeding, weaning, naps, routines)
• Toddlers and early years development
• School-aged children (homework help, after school routines)
• Travel nanny experience (summer holidays, family trips, airports)
• Cooking healthy meals for children
• Potty training and behavioural support
• Supporting children with Greek language
• Swimming confidence and water play with young children
• Creating structured routines and calm environments
• Full-time, part-time, temporary and emergency nanny roles
I have worked with many families long-term, building strong and trusted relationships. Several families have considered me part of their family due to my commitment and care.
My Qualifications
• Currently studying Level 3 Childcare / Early Years Educator
• Studied as a Nursery Nurse Assistant in Greece
• AMI Montessori Assistant Certificate (3–6 years)
• Pediatric First Aid (certified)
• Enhanced DBS Check
• Excellent knowledge of English & Greek
• 11+ years of hands-on nanny and childcare experience
• Strong understanding of Montessori, gentle parenting and child development
I am passionate about continuous learning and always improving my skills to provide the best possible care for children. I am polite, friendly, caring and 100% professional in everything I do.

Alexandra provided us with last minute childcare cover due to sickness over a 3 day period. She replied almost instantly when contacted, and was communicative throughout.
She kept my 2 boys (7Y and 10mo) well looked after and happy! Due to the last minute nature of the request, she had the briefest of introductions to our house and our children, yet managed to keep them entertained both inside the house as well as outside, taking them to 3 different local activities over 3 different days without prompting or being asked.
She cooked a delicious and healthy dinner for them and the house was clean and tidy at the end of every day.
My sons both had a fantastic time and really enjoyed their time with her.
I would not hesitate to recommend her, and I would definitely call on her again if I needed emergency or extra help.

Thank you so much, Katja, for your beautiful and thoughtful review. It truly means a lot to me. It was a pleasure stepping in to support your family at such short notice, and I’m so glad the boys felt happy, comfortable, and entertained throughout our days together.
I always aim to bring calm, reliability, and fun into every home I work with, so hearing that the children enjoyed the activities, meals, and routines we created together is incredibly rewarding. Your communication and trust made everything smooth and easy, especially considering the last-minute nature of the booking.
I would be more than happy to help your family again anytime you need extra support or emergency childcare. Thank you again for your kindness and for taking the time to share your experience — it truly motivates me in my work.
