My Summary
About Me
Hello! My name is Laia, and I’m from Barcelona. I have over four years of experience in childcare, starting my journey as an au pair and gradually transitioning into nannying. Throughout this time, I’ve had the privilege of working with children of all ages, and I’ve developed a deep passion for nurturing their growth and well-being.
I’m a positive, energetic individual with a natural curiosity and a love for learning. Currently, I’m studying Computer Science with a focus on Cyber Security, though my long-term goal is to pursue a career in teaching.
I genuinely believe that I have a special gift for connecting with children. Building strong, trusting relationships based on communication, respect, and plenty of fun is at the heart of my approach. Having grown up with a brother who has autism, I’m deeply attuned to how these experiences shape a child’s development, which has made me a more patient and empathetic caregiver.
For me, supporting a child’s growth means creating an environment where they feel heard, understood, and loved. I’m dedicated to helping children feel safe and valued as they learn, play, and grow.
My Experience
I began my childcare journey in 2018 as an au pair, where I had the privilege of living with a wonderful host family for a full year. This experience was incredibly rewarding, allowing me to bond with the children and provide them with a stable and loving environment.
In 2019, I decided to move areas and therefore, to a new family, where I spent another two years creating meaningful connections and supporting the children's growth and development.
In 2021, I expanded my experience by offering babysitting services to local families. This not only allowed me to build a network of amazing parents but also helped me gain more flexibility and variety in the types of childcare I could provide.
Currently, I work as an after-school nanny in the Hampstead area, where I’m able to continue doing what I love—supporting children’s development while fostering strong, trusting relationships with both kids and parents.
My Qualifications
I have DBS check. I have also completed an English advanced (top-up) course in order to improve my skills.
