Summary

I am Lily Rose, a dedicated and enthusiastic professional with a strong passion for working closely with families and supporting their daily lives. With three years of experience in private households, I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with each family, building lasting relationships and becoming a trusted friend.


My love for children drives my approach to childcare, as I take great pride in nurturing their growth and development. I am a highly hands-on nanny who is happy to assist with all aspects of childcare, including cooking, cleaning, and other household tasks. I thrive in collaborative environments and value a teamwork approach, ensuring that I support families in the areas they need most.


I bring excellent interpersonal skills, adaptability, and a warm, approachable demeanour, which helps me establish strong working relationships with parents. I believe that open communication and mutual respect are key to creating a harmonious and effective dynamic within the household. My goal is to provide exceptional care and support that enriches the lives of the children and families I work with.
