My Summary
About Me
CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE
I'm Kate, a nurturing and fun nanny, with a genuine love for children.
My approach is developmentally focused, gentle and I don’t use time out or harsh consequences.
I’m all for routine, consistency, positive reinforcement and leading by example.
Having a keen interest in early years attachment and development, I have recently completed an online child psychology course and attended a ‘Supporting children’s emotional wellbeing’ course at the Montessori institute.
I have a wealth of newborn, baby and toddler experience and I am very confident in establishing routines, weaning and potty training.
I’m very active and like to be out and about.(Swimming, days out, trips to the park, classes, museum visits, play dates.)
I sing most Disney princess songs and can recite all the works of Julia Donaldson before my morning coffee!
I’m happy to muck in around the house when needed and to batch cook/cook healthy meals for the whole family if time allows.
Originally from Hungary, I have an excellent command of both spoken and written English, and I speak basic German and Portuguese too.
I’m a keen photographer and love the outdoors and the natural world.
I have glowing references.

Reviews
Below are the latest reviews for Kate. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk users and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.
Kate worked for me as a full-time nanny from April 2009 until October 2013. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Children love her and she is the type of nanny any family would be delighted (and fortunate) to have. For most of the time she looked after my older daughter who was 6 months old when Kate started and just five when she left. Latterly she also looked after my younger daughter too, born June 2013. She is fun, fair, sociable, hard-working, bright, proactive, sensible and utterly reliable. I would not hesitate to reemploy her if I had the chance.
