  About me:
 
My name is Rebecca van der Giessen.
I recently moved to Clapham to live with my boyfriend here in London. After working as a teacher in The Netherlands, I am starting new career adventure in London as a full time nanny.

I absolutely love children and although I appreciate every stage of development in children´s lives, I have a soft spot for babies and toddlers. I absolutely enjoy their amazing jumps in development, their authentic happiness and the joy that they find in the small things in life. This makes me genuinely happy.

I have an unconditional love for children and I believe that nurture, care, a positive approach and patience are the building blocks to building a relationship with and guiding children through the different stages of development.
I have excellent communication skills, when communicating with children as well as parents. I am dependable, responsible and trustworthy. My job is to ensure parents their children are safe, cared for and in the capable hands of a professional. I have the appropriate experience, I am educated and knowledgeable and not to forget, I have a high standard of morals and values.
I work with integrity, engagement and enthusiasm.

I am happy to work evenings and weekends occasionally when needed and open for one-off work.

If you have any questions for me, please do not hesitate to call or email me.
