My Summary
About Me
Hi! My name is Valia,
I am a dynamic, educated nanny, with a special interest in early years, children’s development and learning through play. In my work with children and families, I value meaningful connections and I feel motivated being present and contribute in a child's development. Watching a child thriving in their own unique way it's what makes me love working as a nanny.
I have worked for 6 years with children and families, in various settings, as a nanny, babysitter, primary teacher and assistant therapist. I have cared for children from 5 months to 8 years old, but I have experience from 0-18.
My approach is child-centred. Rooted in creating safe and nurturing relationships with the children, where they can be heard, seen and experience their interests. With nurture and robustness, I support a child to develop and thrive. I enjoy organising creative and stimulating activities, including arts and crafts, reading, and outdoor adventures, offering Montessori-based activities and techniques. I am intensely intuitive and observant, which means that through a child's play, behaviour I am able to attune their needs, emotional difficulties and find a way to understand them, communicate with the parents and support them accordingly. For example, sibling relationships, separation anxiety, transitions during toddlerhood, sleep problems.
I pride myself in building strong relationships with the children and parents, going beyond any nanny expectations and I encourage honest and open communication where parents can feel respected and heard, and I can feel empowered in my role to do the best for their children.
What I Offer:
Engaging Activities according to child's needs
Keeping routines and consistency
Preparation of healthy Mediterranean snacks/meals & light household tasks
Child development, behaviour or emotional management insights
Experience in infant care (sleep difficulties, bottle feeding)
Your family's peace of mind is essential to me. I uphold a first aid certificate and strong references from families.
If you are looking for a nurturing, creative, active nanny, I'd love to get to know your family better.
