My Summary
About Me
I am hands on, fun and responsible person dedicated to my work with children. I understand that children best learn through play and activities built around their interest to experience the world around them. I always do my best to make it happen in fun and interesting way.
I come from Slovakia and am honest,straightforward and trustworthy with a positive attitude.
My Experience
I worked with children for 18 years and have experience of working in close relationship with family as a nanny and as a part of a bigger team within the nursery environment as a room leader. I currently work as a nanny for 3 different families and look after children under the age of 5. I worked in a busy nursery setting as a room leader of a preschool team of 4 with 30 children aged 3-5. Working in both environments gave me a greater understanding of how important the team work is whether it comes to partnerships with parents or relationships with the colleagues to provide the best care children deserve.
It makes me very happy to see parents satisfied and content with their children thriving in a nurturing and safe environment.
My Qualifications
I have a Bachelor Degree in Early Years, First Aid Certificate for babies and young children.
I am qualified Forest School leader and have done trainings in safeguarding children, mental and health wellbeing of children and equality and diversity certificate.

Lucia is the best Nanny anyone could ask for. She is caring, hard working and diligent. She looked after our little boy from the age of 14 months until almost 3 years old, providing a variety of activities for him including daily outings, creative and educational activities including baking, painting etc. She always went above and beyond to care for him in the best possible way, including managing his complex dietary needs. She was also very good at routine management. She was also great help to our family, helping with household tasks and cooking lovely, healthy meals for the whole family. We are still using her babysitting services so that our son can spend time with her as we all miss her!
Hiring Lucia to look after our then two year old daughter has been one of the best decisions we ever made. Within moments of meeting Lucia I knew that she was right and I am delighted to say that not for a moment have we doubted that decision.
Lucia started with us in August of 2020. Our daughter had extra needs at the time due to her extreme prematurity, Lucia listened to all our story, understood our delicate situation and has respected any of our wishes, equally Lucia has filled us and our daughter with confidence and I would say within the last year we have seen our daughter blossom into a confident and even stronger and more determined happy little girl.
Lucia IS Mary Poppins, she creates an incredible learning environment that maintains the perfect balance of happiness and great care alongside encouraging independence mixed with the right amount of structure.
Our nanny journey is coming to its natural end as our daughter gets ready for pre school, we will part ways on a formal level but I will remain forever grateful to Lucia for providing our daughter a year of exceptional care. I couldn’t have asked for more and it will take some getting used to coming downstairs and not having Lucia in our home.
Lucia looked after my two girls last year for 6 months when she first moved to Nottingham. Lucia taught them to ride bikes, she was reliable, energetic, calm and patient and took the time to explain things as well as arranging fun days out and cooking tasty, healthy meals. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
