About Me

Hello All,

My name is Timnit , I am originally from Eritrea, but I was born and grew up in Italy.
I am a Mum of three gorgeous girls .
I am 35 years of age, responsible and mature especially when it comes to take care of vulnerable little and adults people.
i'm an experienced warm,nanny/carer who is firm but fair.
I have been looking after babies and children for more than 10 years
I find looking after children quite rewarding, and I feel really privileged to have been involved in the education and development of the children I have worked with so far.
-I can follow the routine that has been set out from the family/and collaborate to create one.
-I cook to a reasonable standard for the child/children
-I am a person who enjoys being outdoors in all kinds of weather , doing different activities,
who is motivated
who can work under own initiative.

I am passionate about working with children, helping them develop and exploring their world through play. I have worked with children from early age to 10 years old for the past 10 years as a full/part-time nanny with own child, sole charge and mother's help.

I believe that it is important to implement the routine that each family prefers but I bring to that routine my own love of playing games and encouraging children to be imaginative and to have fun. I understand the need to be 100% reliable and punctual and of maintaining great communication with the parents whilst their children are in my care.


Therefore i have a CRB/DBS check and have had one since 2009.

I CAN PROVIDE REFERENCES.
NOT CURRENTLY OFSTED REGISTERED- Happy to become if family requires/wishes

My Experience

Experience:
Jan 2024 - Present
Advisor and Elderly Project Worker - Eritrean Community in UK (ECUK), Islington, London
April 2023 - December 2023
Volunteer Advisor and Elderly Project Worker - ECUK, Islington, London
? Advice & Information – 1-1 appointments with the elderly to provide advice on health, benefits, pensions, debt and any financial issues. I’ll signpost them to the correct information and assist in booking the necessary appointments, completing application forms on their behalf, and translating.
? Developing and managing health, social and cultural activity programmes for the elderly to introduce them to activities they may not easily have access to or may be excluded from.
? Monthly or bi-monthly awareness raising workshops and events arranged and delivered with a health focus e.g. workshops addressing healthy eating, how to budget for food shopping, menu planning, how to develop a healthy lifestyle etc.
? Provide informal cultural appropriate advice/ counselling where necessary
? Liaise between clients and external agencies to achieve services/support best
? Use IT for statistical and record-keeping and document, and prepare periodic report
In addition to working with the elderly, I work directly with diverse groups of families who come seeking advice around various issues including:
? Homelessness - I help signpost them to the necessary information, and as a result of what they choose to do and their circumstances, I direct them to the council, help them apply for housing and guide them to where they can apply for food vouchers.
? Family interrelationship issues - Mediating between adults to help them resolve the issues within their relationship and help them understand the cultural and social differences in the UK relating to raising children. The goal is to mitigate any risks that could result in the children being taken away from their home.

? General life admin - Majority of the families I work with have recently immigrated to the UK so they struggle to understand the day to day life admin. For example, I help them understand any bills they receive, any grants they are eligible to apply for, translating government documents.
? Help the families plan any free activities for their children during half term.
April 2023 - July 2023
Refugee Support - Casework Volunteer, British Red Cross, London
Part-time role and the duties include:
? Providing administrative and operational support functions to the Refugee Support team in

In this role, I was working alongside the children’s grandmother and supporting her with the duties. This included organising and delivering a daily schedule to include preparation of and feeding all meal, preparing lunch,
Achievements: One of the goals in this role was to align the schedule of the two girls because the grandmother struggled to handle the two routines that the children were used to in their own families and nursery. By the end of my position, they had a set routine and the grandmother was more equipped in maintaining the routine.

Jan 2019 - June 2019 - A young family of two adults and twin children
? I helped the family register with the GP, arranging doctor/dentist appointments, arranging the immunisation of the children.
? Taking the family to the local library and identifying different activities for the children.
? Providing advice and guidance on coping as a first time parent and child development June 2020 - Sept 2020 - A single mum with twins
? The mum had language barriers (she was Eritrean) and so I helped her with resolving issues with the council, attending important meetings to help translate conversations, and applying for grants to help with the costs of house appliances.

Timnit is a fantastic woman - she is buzzing with warmth and creativity and got along with our son straight away. She was very respectful and genuinely interested in him as a person and character. Timnit spent a few days with him when we needed emergency child care, as well as babysitting in the evening, feeding him and putting him to bed. We also really value the multiple languages Timnit speaks, so our son could practice hearing and familiarising himself with Italian as he is growing up in a bilingual family. We were very grateful to have Timnit living near us whilst we were in Islington.

Thank you so much! It was a pleasure helping you with Little I. ♡︎

Timnit has helped us out a number of times when we've needed childcare cover at short notice. The first time she helped us, she arrived and got up to speed with things and picked things up really quickly. Even though i hadn't spent lots of time with Timnit before leaving her to look after our daughter, i felt so comfortable and confident with her.

She understood the routine, where everything is etc really quickly and takes the initiative and is very proactive. Timnit is such a happy and lovely presence in our house and our 1.5 year old warmed to her so quickly. We love it when she's here!

𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮! 🙏

Timnit is a fantastic nanny. I went back to work after 10 months and commuted into central London while my partner works from home. I was initially very nervous at leaving our daughter, but Timnit is an absolute pro.

We met Timnit for an initial conversation to let her know what we were looking for. And immediately, we liked her from the get-go. Warm, caring and firm. She mentioned she would bring her daughter who was a month younger than ours to work and we were open to this, considering Timnit has 3 children of her own, I knew she could handle it.

Some people might be nervous or reticent about bringing her daughter, but it worked brilliantly and now I couldn’t conceive of our child not always having her pal with her. They have become amazing friends; they eat at the same time, nappy change at the same time and even sleep at the same time. They have a brilliant rhythm. Timnit uses her own initiative to find suitable activities throughout the day, takes them out to the park, to playcentres and out for food, cooks great meals for both and nourishes them both mentally and emotionally. She also regularly sends WhatsApp messages throughout the day which I look forward to and it's so lovely to see them all enjoying themselves and getting around the city. Timnit is firm, attentive, caring, and, she helpfully makes suggestions with regards to different foods, amending schedules or things we might need which I find incredibly valuable. We will be sad to see Timnit go as our child will be resuming nursery full time but hopefully our daughters will remain good friends. I cannot tell you how reassuring it is to have Timnit look after our child, and I can recommend her highly.

Timnit is looking after our child after school. She is a great nanny, very reliable and trustable. My child has a great time with her and her children. Very often Timnit takes them to a local park and they have a great time. My child is super happy to be with Timnit. She is very fun, caring, understanding and has a lot of patient and experience with children.

Timnit is a nanny with caring, trustworthy and professional sides. She would give care, interaction, as well as guidance to your babies and toddlers. She was a temporary nanny for our two-year daughter in May 2021. Timnit engaged with her from the first minute; she can focus amazingly with the needs of your toddler; her very good articulation (in both English and Italian) and her focus are impressive. In addition, she cooks very nice food; our daughter loved it. Timnit also can adapt to any baby and toddler due to her experience and expertise; she can make them comfortable and calm in the case of tantrum. In addition, she also makes sure our daughter have a similar routine as before; so she made sure she sleeps during her nap time. While she is a very good nanny, she is also experienced in teaching toddlers and babies new skills with different toys and activities (indoor and outdoor). I would like highly recommend Timnit as a nanny; you can trust in her and your precious one would have wonderful time with her.
