About Me

Dear Parents,
My name Samara and have been working with children for the last 23 years. I am a nursery teacher trained, with background in relationship based developmental play therapy, currently splitting my time between nanny work and my own children’s meditation business.
My specialty are anxious neurodivergent children (worked for Resources for Autism children’s charity in London for 5 years). I am very active and well versed in low demand child led approach.

I can offer nanny services, babysitting, mentoring and meditation sessions also.

Thank you for reading and looking forward to hearing from you.
Samara
