About Me

Hi 
My name is Marina,
I'm looking for a family/s to start working in October or November of 2024 (preferably around this area, I'm already familiar with all the different playgroups, activities, playgrounds...)
Currently working for a family in E8, I started with this family when the baby was 6 months old, and in one year we have done so many things (when I started mum told me that she was struggling with the naps and we work together in that and other steps of his first year together) He will be starting nursery in Sep.

Here is a little bit about myself. 
I’m from Barcelona, I have been in London for 11 years. I'm a friendly, creative person, organized, dependable, professional, warm, thoughtful and confident. I'm good with kids.
I studied fashion design and Art. I speak English, Catalan and Spanish. 
I have experience with babies from 3/4 months to 8 years kids.

I lost my job a few weeks before the Lockdown, I was working as a waitress in a cafe in Hackney, previews of that I worked as a Visual Merchandiser (kids-wear for 3 years) 6 years for the same company since I moved to this country.
My interests include music, festivals and gigs, discovering the world, fashion, vintage clothes and furniture, taking photos, drawing, painting, swimming, tennis, yoga... 

I have First Aids, DBS.
I have a few recommendation letters if you are interested.

The best way is, to meet and have a chat :) 

My Experience

EXPERIENCE
2024
My current family with a B1 and a half (he was 6 months went I started).
It's been a fun year seeing him discover the world through a kid's eye for the first time (sounds, the first words, eating new food, watching the animals at the park, interacting with other kids, going to museums, playgroups, soft plays and lido...) and making sure he did his daily naps.

2023
I worked for a family with two girls G1 and G4 in N16.
I worked some days sporadically looking after a little baby G3 months.
I worked for a few weeks, for an Italian family in E8 with a little B3 and in October I started with my current family B7 months.

2022
I worked for a family with a B8 months. It was my first time with a baby and I have to say, I had so much fun seeing how he was learning and changing so quickly through the year, and all the different experiences (the day he said my name I got super excited)

2021
I was looking after two siblings, G8 and B4, from January of 2021 (COVID time) it was a full-time job for the first 3 months till the kids went back to school, then after school and holidays.


Beginning of 2018 for 3 months and a half, after my work as a VM in H&M, I was looking after a little B3, picking up from nursery. (it was something temporary)
I did some sporadic babysitting for some of my neighbors.
