My Summary
About Me
I'm currently working in the Mainstream School as a SEN Teaching Assistant as well as the classroom assistant. I have been working over two decades in the childcare environment. For the past four years I've been working in the Mainstream School. I have done numerous courses in SEN and have been practicing SEN for over four years. I'm currently looking for extra work like babysitting and half term work. I could help parents with SEN children when free and available. I'm also happy to do school pick up, provide snacks and spend some quality time with children until one of you returns. Cooking meals can be optional and for discussion.
I'm a highly experienced childcare professional who offers professional, friendly, and caring manny , babysitting or SEN services to parents that need that extra help. I have worked with children of all ages, from newborns to school-age kids. I'm also an experienced SEN teacher supporting primary school children, in Reception, Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5 and Year 6.
I pride myself on being well organised, reliable, responsible, flexible, and a very adaptable individual. I am also very adventurous and a sporty person with a positive outlook on life. I live in Waterloo.
I am one of those male nannies who care deeply. Kindness matters. I am also big on manners, consistency, and routine.
Kids eating healthy is also my priority.
I always prepare healthy and well-balanced meals, but what is good nutrition for children?
Well, nutrition for children is based on the same core principles as nutrition for adults. The key is a healthy and appropriate balance of a diet and exercise. The five main food groups include grains, dairy, protein, vegetables, and fruit, and are generally a good starting point for any diet.
When I am not around the children, I like to play sports, travel, visit theatres, volunteer, bake, and learn new languages.
My Experience
I have been looking after children for more than two decades. I possess extensive experience caring for newborns, toddlers and school age children.
In addition, I was present at birth twice and that was the most memorable and emotional experience in my life that it can only be described as magical.
I am also very active manny who takes his role very seriously. Childcare is a very demanding and a stressful job that requires patience and flexibility. That said, not many of us can do this job but for those of us that we do, its a very rewarding job.
You have to have a genuine interest to work in this field. High level of energy and creativity helps too. You also have to be one step ahead of them and to keep an eye on them at all time. As you can see, you will be getting a very experienced and a very caring manny who will respect the family and promote the child's development and well being.
In addition to my excellent reviews, I also have a private references from a wonderful families that are more then happy to vouch for me and my childcare experience.

Mario looked after my two boys (7,4) during the first part of lock-down in January and February 2021. I was going through a very difficult time with work and personal situations and I could not have coped without him.
He did the "usual" things - played with the boys, took them to the park every day, cooked tasty, healthy meals, helped with laundry, baked with them, supervised the odd bit of school work etc. He was always punctual, trustworthy, calm and professional (and dealt with the 4 year old's tantrums very well!)
Both boys loved him and will miss him very much. Apparently going to the park with Mario is A LOT more fun than going with mummy.
I would recommend Mario.

Mario is a fantastic nanny who has watched our 1 year old from Dec 2018 - March 2019. He is reliable and trustworthy. Our son Bastien lights up when Mario arrives for the day. Mario is great at preparing activities and outings. He preps food and is very attentive to hygiene. We get 2 daily updates with photos as to what is happening, what Bastien has eaten, when he naps, etc.
We are moving out of London which is the only reason Mario is leaving out employment. We cant recommend him highly enough and the next family will be lucky to have him.

Mario joined us in London in early June 2018 on a temporary basis to take care of our 7-month old son for several weeks. He worked full days, and was entirely flexible about working at weekends or evenings (sometimes at short notice).
Mario was reliable and hardworking, and kept everything clean and tidy. He cooked and prepared solid food for baby, as well as preparing food for ourselves. He was pleasant and engaging with both us and the baby, and he was entirely open to discussions or suggestions. We found him easy and pleasant to deal with, sociable and practical, and if circumstances had permitted we would have liked to keep him on long-term.
I would highly recommend Mario. I would be more than happy to answer any questions if requested.

Mario looked after my two very energetic children (2 and 4years old) for two months two days a week. Even though it was a short time it took him only hours to build relationships with the children. I found him very responsible, reliable and good at behaviour management. He was sole charge from 8am to 6pm taking children to preschool and other playgroups by bus and cooking for them. What I loved that he always texted me the summer of their days with some picture.

Overall
Mario was the after-school nanny for my 2 children, Freddie 5, and Stella 4 for the past 12 months. He is a responsible, reliable and caring nanny.
He takes his role seriously and would make sure well balanced dinners were cooked and served on time, and readers were read before the children became too tired. He isn’t phased by naughty behaviour and would consult with me on the best way to manage discipline to ensure we were both consistent in our approach. He displayed patience with the children and communicated with them in a positive way.
Mario is also very tidy and when I would get home each night the kitchen was spotless!
My children loved having Mario as their nanny and I’m sure they will miss him.
