My Summary
About Me
Ciao! I'm Margherita (yes, just like the pizza!).
41 years old, British by nationality, but originally from Florence, Italy.
As a dedicated and reliable nanny, I have extensive experience in caring for children. I pride myself on being empathetic, understanding, and highly organized, with a flexible, adaptable approach. I have excellent communication skills and a great sense of humor, which helps me connect with kids and make every day fun.
I truly enjoy spending time with children—not only because it's my job to keep them safe and support them in reaching important milestones, but because I genuinely love being a part of their world. Watching them grow into confident, kind, and capable individuals is such a privilege.
I would treat your children with the same care and love as if they were my own, ensuring they enjoy every moment we spend together.
A bit about my interests: I love cooking healthy meals (must be the Italian blood in me!), preparing nutritious snacks, and getting creative with arts and crafts. Whether it’s organizing age-appropriate activities, spending time outdoors, going on little adventures, singing, dancing, or countless other fun things, I’m always eager to engage with children in creative and enriching ways.
Previously, I was an Italian teacher, which gave me the chance to share my love of language and culture with others.
In my free time, I enjoy going to the theatre, cinema, and museums. I’m passionate about reading, hiking, and traveling, and I also practice meditation and yoga. Swimming is one of my favorite activities, and when I'm at home, I love sewing. I still teach Italian privately from time to time.
I can provide excellent references upon request and would love to hear from you soon!
My Experience
I’ve had the pleasure of looking after babies, toddlers, teens, and even pets (dogs, hamsters, and rabbits)! I haven’t worked with many families, as I prefer to fully commit to the families I do work with.
Here’s a brief overview of my nanny experience:
Oct 2013 – Dec 2013
After-School Nanny
Caring for a 4-year-old boy.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time with him, but was seeking something more consistent, which led me to move on.
Nov 2013 – July 2014
Sole Charge Full-Time Nanny
Caring for a 12-month-old girl and an 8-year-old boy (at the start).
I absolutely adored this family, and we’re still in touch, even though I haven’t seen them in a while.
Sept 2014 – July 2021
Part-Time Sole Charge Nanny (Afternoons)
Caring for three girls: 5, 7, and 9 years old at the start, through Kensington Nannies Agency.
I’ve known this family for over 10 years now, and it’s been incredible to watch their three wonderful girls grow into amazing young women.
Nov 2020 – Apr 2021
Part-Time Sole Charge Nanny (Mornings)
Caring for a 2-year-old boy and a 10-month-old girl (at the start).
We had a wonderful time together, but the family relocated to Oxford, and my role with them ended in April.
Apr 2016 – July 2021
Part-Time Sole Charge Nanny (Mornings)
Caring for a 4-month-old girl (at the start) and later her younger sister, born in 2017.
I started with this family in 2016, and even though my role has changed over the years, I still consider them family. I’ve cared for their two lovely, energetic girls since they were babies, and I continue to see them today.
Sept 2021 – Present
I currently look after a boy, who is now 4 years old, and his brother, who is 2, from Monday to Friday. I am also available for casual babysitting on evenings or weekends.
