Hi!

I'm a 26 years old portuguese girl with a degree (5 years course) in Pedagogy. I absolutly love children and I know how to explore their skills! I'm very outgoing, friendly and organized! During university I've studied special needs like autism
I'm going to live in London in 2nd December. If you need me or if you know someone who needs please let me know. My mother is a children doctor in Portugal and I've worked with children in Portugal too so I can give you some people who can recomend me.
I'm avaiable for a personal interview because I think that's the best way for us to know each other.
But I think we can find other ways, I would love to help your family!
You can contact me to [email protected]

With my best regards,

*If I am not available to babysit I have two trusted childcare workers who live locally, who would be able to help. The first is a qualified primary school teacher who is currently nannying (same family for 5 years), and the other is an OFSTED registered childminder. They both drive.

In response to LindseyFox - I emailed 2 of the women offering services here. one responded to me and we worked out that my hoem was too far from hers for anything to work. the other hasn't got back to me. I am still looking for an occasional evening babysitter in central London if anyone's interested!

hopefully you find someone catfeena seems to be lots of sitters on here in london.

Where in Central London Catfeena if you dont mind me asking?

Mtorun
I don't mind. The Cat Family are in W2, between Hyde Park and Paddington. Two DS, age 4 and 6. Comfortable house (just spent a fortune on renovations) and near tubes and buses.
