My Summary
About Me
It is simple – I like to be around children. They astonish me with their unique behavior and reactions to the world around them.
I, curiously, step into their world of thinking and elaborating their own ways. I like to help them with a little hint here and there and admire where their imagination leads; just assist them to become themselves.
I love all sorts of activities – indoor and outside, active and creative; every day chores made fun and a surprise in a plain box...
I believe that intellectual, physical, psychological and emotional development of a child should be nurtured form “day one” by careful observations and deference for every child’s request. As an adult I have an important role of spotting a right moment and take action in accurate way for each child.
I have specially arranged setting to welcome all children with plenty of safe space and two gardens. My place is next to the woods and in a quiet "cul de sac" with no cars passing by.
I work with my assistant ( she has all relevant trainings and checks) and she is as enthusiastic as I am. We believe to complement each other at our everyday task to make your children happy and healthy.
My Experience
I have been working as a childminder for some time now. Previously, I have been successfully running Russian speaking group in Leeds "Skazka" for three years for children 1,5 years to 6 years old. On Saturdays I run a voluntary club for Russian speaking children and I teach them Russian language. I also speak fluent Italian and this is another language that is present in our house. I have been looking after numerous children of different ages for my friends privately, besides growing our own fabulous daughter who is 13 now.

My daughter is always happy and eager to go to Yulia, and I work with peace of mind knowing she is well cared for and looked after. Yulia is fantastic, caring and supportive. She organises lots of activities and makes sure the kids spend enough time outside as well. My little one is a picky eater and she always enjoys Yulia's food as well, which is healthy and varied. I am very glad we found her.

I have no words to truly express how amazing Yulia has been. I am so appreciative of the time, care and effort that she has put into our 1 year old. I have seen such a big leap in Hugo’s speech development in only a few days! From the fresh food that she cooks to taking the kids out everyday to just let them get out, have fun, and learn and explore nature first hand. It is so hard to find anyone as talented as Yulia, she really is every parents dream!!

Oh, Michelle. Thank you so much for your kind words. I do enjoy doing my job even more when I have such appreciative parents.
My boys love Yulia. They get so excited going into her care. She cared incredibly for my boys. She is very kind and has lots of patience. Thank you so much for the time you took to care for my boys. I can always count on you when I need help with the boys. I have no hesitation in recommending her to any family seeking childcare. She is the best ❤️

We sent our baby to Yulia full time from 9 months old and could not be more grateful to her for the way she took care of him and settled him in quickly. She was very good at understanding his needs and managed to get him sleeping (which is not easy!) and supported him to explore and play. He is always excited arriving at her setting. Her and her husband took care of children from a range of ages and kept them all entertained and interacting and learning from each other. Yulia really has a gift with children. She is extremely honest and trustworthy and kept us constantly updated on our baby.

Oli really enjoyed his time with you and we are so happy he had the opportunity to learn and play in such a lovely environment. We would really recommend you to anyone looking for really good childcare.
Our son attended Yulia's setting for a few months and he would jump off his bed to go to 'Yuyia's house' and see his friends. He learnt so many things like songs, counting, alphabet etc., and also really good manners and routines.
Thank you, Yulia.
