My Summary
About Me
Hello, I'm Paloma—a vibrant and nurturing nanny with a rich background in childcare and education spanning over 5 years. My approach is rooted in kindness and energy, dedicated to fostering an environment where young minds flourish.
What sets my nanny services apart:
- Thoughtfully structured routines encompassing mealtime, bedtime, and engaging activities.
- Reliable school pickups and drop-offs, complemented by attentive homework assistance.
- Cooking tailored to your family's dietary needs, whether Kosher, vegetarian, or other preferences.
- A repertoire of fun and educational indoor and outdoor activities.
- Extensive experience with ages 6 months+, and some experience with babies and newborns.
- Meticulous attention to childcare-related chores, including kitchen and laundry upkeep.
My passion lies in childhood development, evident in the playful yet enriching activities I curate—from sensory exploration to outdoor expeditions. With a background in tutoring and five years as an art teacher, I adeptly support children with their academics and foster their creativity through educational projects.
A child once described me as a "strict nanny," a label I embrace wholeheartedly. I firmly believe that clear boundaries cultivate trust and respect in children, fostering a world where praise and self-confidence abound. Challenges like sleep disruptions, tantrums, and separation anxiety are all part of the journey, and I approach them with empathy, drawing on research and collaboration with families to find effective solutions.
I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to meet your wonderful family and learn more about your unique dynamics. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any inquiries—you'll find me ready and enthusiastic to embark on this journey with you.
My Experience
2019 - 2023: Art teacher at Hippo Art, and Paloma's Art classes.
Creating fun and educational classes with an emphasis on critical thinking and harnessing art to encourage children's exploration of the world whilst encouraging creativity.
2022: Nannying a 6-month-old toddler. The lovely toddler was experiencing being away from her mother for the first time and had just moved away from her grandparent's home to the UK so understandably had separation anxiety, and a disrupted sleep clycle. We worked as a family to introduce new ways of saying goodbye and improved routines so that she was ready to move on to nursery after 4 months.
2021: Nannying three children (4, 9 and 12) for 2 months in between nannies. I was in charge of bedtime routines, including school pick-up, dinner time and bedtime. I had to juggle different schedules, evening activities and dietary requirements. I also made sure that school lunches and bags were packed at the end of the evening.
2020: Nannying a funny and lively 11-year-old girl over Covid. My duties focused on homeschooling her and assisting with online classes. When I first joined her she was finding the disruption of Covid very difficult and became disruptive and badly behaved. Alongside the introduction of fun and engaging activities, we worked together to develop a reward chart. I was so proud of how her behaviour improved by the time she returned to school.
