If anyone out there is looking for a nanny, I have just the person.
Princess helped me out, in a big way, when my youngest was 3months for about 9months. I was having a hard time coping with two young demanding children and her appearance in our lives can only be described as totally sanity-saving.
She is a 20something year old Filipino, a mother, a qualified nurse, an excellent English speaker, and a complete natural with children. At the time I was so thankful to have someone in my house who was clever and capable and so good at communicating with all of us equally. She learnt fast and was always eager to the job exactly how I wanted it done (she did some cleaning jobs for me too between child-care). She was extremely sweet and caring with both my children and full of ideas to keep them entertained. Noone can deny that Princess is not full to the brim with enthusiasm, with a great sense of fun! Although I was at home for the length of her stay, I often left her on her own with either one of the children or both and trusted her implicitly.
But then she had to leave us to go back to the Philippines. However that's when her sister stepped in, who is still with us 2years later. She's very much part of our family. We got very lucky.
Princess has now returned. She has come to make a living over here so that she can secure a better future for her family. Even as a nurse, she cannot make the money back home to afford a house or pay for education, medical etc So here she is and waiting for a lovely lucky family to sweep her up!
She lives in Battersea with her sister and is looking for a live out position, Tues - Thurs full hours (although I think the right family could perhaps negotiate more days!). She is looking for anything at the moment including adult care work, and nursing home work, but she has a gift with children and I think it would be wasted elsewhere. She worked in the neo-natal department of her local hospital when she was back home so she also comes with skills. In her free time at the moment, she is doing some secretarial work at her local Church.
I can't recommend her highly enough as a person, let alone a nanny. If you are interested in speaking to her, please email her at: princess_mauleon@yahoo.com If you have any further questions for me, I would be delighted to help and can be contacted on jubesmith@hotmail.com
Thank you.
