Hi dear parents...Those of you who only need me occasionally on weekend date night-sitting, please make sure to book ahead to avoid disappointment! My calendar is getting fuller by the day! ****************************** Hi, I am a mature, experienced, active, healthy,happy, passionate carer. I have been looking after children since I was 13. I have two grown up children and currently working as a Nanny. I cook, tidy, sort, organize, cater, and personally assist with errands for various families already, and now I am ready to get organised for next year. I will have a few days on offer to a family who has a stable ( min.6 mth ) work to offer. I can do some casual work in my spare time, or have permanent work, if it fits my weekly workload. I have kept in touch long term with some of the families who I’ve worked for in the past. I have experience from newborn to teenagers. Lately I have been working with babies a lot... I speak, read and write fluent English and Hungarian,( I can understand a very minimal German .)-- also teach and participate in Hungarian folk-dance two evenings a week.(sometimes more if we have a production coming up). Dancing is a big part of my life, it is a great way to keep fit!! Also love gardening, and spending time on the beach...or riding my bike.. I am a MOTIVATED, EXPERIENCED, CARING, RESPONSIBLE, PATIENT, RELIABLE, person with common sense, and good organizing skills. I have worked with a family with multiple children, and have taken sole care of 3 children under 3 years old, including twins. I love children, and they love me too :-) Would prefer daytime work (available from early morning), but I will be happy to do casual hrs as well. You will be surprised what can be achieved in a few hrs in the morning! I can be very flexible for the right family, as all my references will tell you. Family pets are no problem. I have checkable (GREAT) references for you. Looking forward to hearing from you. ****Thank you, and have a great day :). Maria H
