Hello Families, My name is Arushi, and caring for children has always come naturally to me. Growing up surrounded by younger siblings and cousins, I quickly became the go-to person for everything from scraped knees to silly games and bedtime stories. That early experience sparked a deep love for working with children—a passion that has only grown stronger over the years. My journey in childcare began in education, where I spent three years working with children in a community-driven school setting. Since then, I’ve taken on diverse roles as a nanny, au pair, and private tutor, supporting families with everything from newborn care to school-age routines. I bring a gentle, grounded, and reliable presence into the home, with a strong focus on building trust and consistency. As someone who speaks several languages, I love incorporating language learning into daily routines—whether it’s through songs, storytelling, or casual conversation. I believe it’s not only fun but also opens little minds to the wider world. What sets me apart is my calm nature, deep sense of responsibility, and genuine joy in being part of a child’s growth journey. I take great pride in creating environments where children feel safe, seen, and supported to explore the world in their own unique way. If you’re looking for a nanny who is caring, dependable, and truly invested in your child’s development, I would be honoured to be part of your family’s story. I’d love to connect and learn more about how I can support your household and help your little ones thrive. Warm regards, Arushi.
