My Summary
Nanny And Babysitter
About Me
My name is Saska, I am 23 years old. I have been in childcare for over 5 years. I began my nannying career in May of 2023. Starting with a temporary role with a 9 month old boy, until he started nursery this September. I could not have asked for a better family to take me in and give me that experience. That job solidified in my heart and mind that nannying is my passion and the career for me.
Experienced in finger spelling; a way of communicating/spelling words using hand movements. Which I find is an effective learning tool and way of communication with children. I am also actively learning BSL. I have a love for cooking, my father is a chef and has taught me his techniques and recipes. My specialists are full English roast dinners.
I have a passion for travel, learning about and immersing myself into new cultures, eating of course and being an artist in all forms especially in painting and drawing in various mediums.
