About Me

As a home-based childminder, my main goal is to create a safe and loving space for the kids I look after. Being a mom myself, I understand how tough it can be for both kids and parents when they're apart for a long time. So, I work hard to make sure every child feels right at home with me.

I believe that children learn best through play and hands-on activities. To help them grow physically, mentally, and socially, I offer all sorts of fun things to do. I also team up with parents to get the little ones ready for the future.

I speak multiple languages, so I use different languages during our activities to help the kids learn. We read stories, sing songs, and enjoy poems together.

I've got all the proper training and certifications to keep the children safe and well-cared for.

In a nutshell, I'm all about giving kids a friendly and nurturing experience. It's an honor to support families like yours in this way.

My Experience

As the oldest of five brothers in a large and happy family, I was surrounded by children from an early age, which fostered a deep love for caring for others. My parents frequently relied on me to look after my brothers, and I truly enjoyed every aspect of it—whether I was helping with homework, preparing meals, playing games, or putting them to bed. These early experiences brought me immense joy and helped me develop a strong understanding of how to nurture and care for children.

At 18, I had the unique opportunity to live in England and work as a domestic childcare companion (au pair) for a UHNWI family, caring for two delightful girls, aged 3 and 4. I spent six months in this role before transitioning into a broader position with the same family. I still oversee every aspect of their care—from preparing meals and assisting with schoolwork to managing their daily routines, including school runs, bath time, and bedtime. This rewarding experience solidified my passion for childcare and further expanded my skills.

Now, as a proud mother of three beautiful daughters, my life is filled with love and joy. My oldest daughter is 10, and my youngest is just 11 months. They bring so much happiness to our home, and I feel incredibly blessed to be their mother.

Excellent Childminder look no further

5 stars

Best childminder in town, was so nervous looking for someone to look after my daughter for two months and happily I found magdalene and she has been taking excellent care of my 7 month old baby girl ever since, my daughter has been so happy with her and I felt relieved that I’m leaving my baby with someone who looks after her the same way i do , she has given me great tips as well on how to take care of my baby as she seems to be quite experienced in taking care of children and has always kept me updated with pictures sent while my baby is staying with her, so grateful to have found her.

Magda: A Home-Based Childminder Par Excellence

In the realm of childminding, Magda stands out as a shining example of excellence. Her home-based care has been a sanctuary for our child's growth and happiness.

Magda's nurturing environment is a testament to her genuine love for children. Our little one's eyes light up at the mere mention of her name, a testament to the bond they've formed.

With a blend of structured activities and free play, Magda strikes the perfect balance. Every moment is a learning opportunity, seamlessly integrating education and enjoyment.

Communication is a strength; Magda keeps us informed about our child's day in meticulous detail. It's heartening to know what our child is experiencing, even when we're apart.

Nutrition takes center stage as Magda crafts meals that are both wholesome and appealing. Dietary needs are met with care, ensuring our child's well-being.

Magda's dedication extends beyond the basics. Her personal touch makes our child feel cherished, fostering a sense of security that's invaluable.

We confidently recommend Magda to any parent seeking exceptional child care. Her impact on our child's development is immeasurable, and her warmth is a balm to both child and parent.

Magda isn't just a childminder; she's a guardian, a teacher, and a source of unwavering support. Our gratitude for her devotion knows no bounds.

Warmly,
XIJ

I recently enrolled my child in a childminder setting and I have been thoroughly impressed with the level of care and attention my child has received. The childminders are knowledgeable, friendly, and have a genuine love for children. The setting is clean, well-equipped, and provides a safe and nurturing environment for children to learn, play and grow. The daily activities are well thought-out, engaging and promote creativity, physical activity and social skills development. The food provided is healthy and my child loves the variety offered. Overall, I highly recommend this childminder setting to any parent looking for a high-quality care option for their child.
