About Me

Personal Statement
I am a confident, highly organized, loving, very reliable, non-smoker, honest, easy going, friendly nanny with over 11 years of experience to provide care children from infant to 10 years old. I've had very good relation with the children and families I've worked over the years and can provide good references. I have sole charge experience from 4 months to 9 years old.
With the Visa situation in the past I had to work with lots of families in a short time and which help me to gain more communication skills, adopting easily,experiences with children and families in every expect. Every household and child has their own differences, and common sides with others. Having more experience with different children help me to find different solutions, approaches to individual child and situation including eating habits, potty trainings, sleep problems, developing their social skills, dealing emotional stages and more. Most of my positions I had to look after multiple children at the same time including twins and different age groups which requires skills to deal with siblings’ rivalry and how to bond them.

Arzu was a fantastic nanny to my twins from 1 to 2.5 years old. I would highly recommend her. Arzu provided very structured days for the twins, taking them to playgroups, play dates, doing creative activities and outings. She cooked nutritious meals, read to them and helped develop their talking. She gave feedback about each day and was always enthusiastic, happy and engaged. She gave her full attention to the twins and my neighbors would often comment on what fantastic care she was taking of them. I was very impressed that she took on the twins from such a young age - twins can be very hard work - and did it so capably. I always knew they were happy, engaged and safe in her hands. I would be very happy to provide a verbal or written reference if anyone required one.

Arzu is a loyal, reliable and exceent nanny. She has never called in sick in a year. Arzu is very experienced and very fexible. We have had a good partnership.

She has had sole charge of my twin 3 year old girls for the last year 2012 to date.

She is highly recommended by me.
