My Summary
About Me
Hello :) I'm Camelia, a 26-year-old international student from Germany fluent in German, English, Farsi, and some French. Inspired by my mother as a midwife, I began caring for children and have accumulated 10+ years of experience in childcare and tutoring.
Usual duties include:
- Nursery/school pickup
- Cooking for the children
- Bathing, bed time, diaper changes
- Cognitive, motor, and sensory development
- Montessori approach: self-directed activities
- Hands-on learning and collaborative play

- Playing instruments
- Day trips: museums, libraries, funfair, trampoline house, swimming, iceskating etc.
Duties do not include housekeeping.
I am a reliable, positive, and responsible individual who communicates openly with parents. I believe my bubbly and confident personality fosters comfort for children, regardless of age. I prioritize creating a peaceful and loving environment while maintaining firm routines and rules. Please let me know if you’re interested and I can provide you with more information if needed :)

Camelia was a great nanny who looked after our son over the summer. She is very high energy and engaging which is an asset particularly for more outgoing children.
Her role was varied but included the following:
Picking up from camp
Engagement post activities
Meal prep ( this was shared between myself and Camelia)
Bath time
Full day nannying ( on non camp days)
She was patient with our son and spent some time to understand him and was lead by his interests thereafter.
She is genuinely very good with kids - kind but firm which was very good for ensuring that our son was disciplined while treated with love.
She also did educational activities with him which was very useful given it was a long summer break.
She was generally reliable and would communicate if she was running late.
In terms of the house, she kept it tidy and encouraged our son to tidy up after playing with his toys which was an added bonus.
She is a warm, friendly, lovely person and it was great getting to know her and having her in our home over the summer. Would have loved to extend it thereafter if she didn’t have a full time commitment! Highly recommend Camelia

Ohh thank you so much!! This is very nice to hear. I enjoyed my time with you as well! ❤️
Camelia is a great nanny, very flexible aslong as she is given enough notice. She is reliable most importantly my child loves her I finish work at 7 by time I get home she has bathed and fed my son if possible I would like to have her full time however I don’t have a need for a full time Nanny my wife speaks German and I French and Spanish…. Camelia speaks German and French aswell as English so in that aspect we couldn’t ask for anything better she speaks to our son in German and sometimes French which my wife loves. Her role for me was to pick up my son from nursery Make sure he’s fed and bathed and roughly 2 hours of educational study such as counting up to 10 or alphabet for example. she sings him to sleep
She kept the house clean ✅
Was good with my child ✅
Speaks German and French✅
Kind hearted person ✅
She is a uni student so only downside is she is not free if I need her last minute which is more my fault than hers as sometimes I won’t know if I’m going to need her or not till last minute as my work environment is very chaotic
She’s smart
Well presented
Well spoken
Only negative thing I have to say is she can’t do full time.
But all In all I would recommend to my friends
