I decided to work as a nanny because I genuinely love children. Since childhood, I have been very close to caring for children – I looked after my younger brother from infancy, which naturally sparked my interest in working with kids.

During my secondary school studies, I completed internships in various institutions, including a facility for children requiring immediate assistance, children’s homes, kindergartens, and a diagnostic center. These experiences gave me solid foundations in caring for children in a variety of life situations.

A very valuable experience for me was a six-month stay in England, where I worked as a nanny / au pair. I cared for three children of different ages, including an infant, gaining daily practical experience in family childcare.

I also worked in a residential home for people with disabilities, mainly individuals with intellectual disabilities and autism. Working with people with special needs was very fulfilling and broadened my perspective on the importance of an individual and sensitive approach. I also gained experience in sheltered housing and at a low-threshold center for children and youth aged 9–26. Another exciting experience was working as a children’s entertainer in Egypt, where I ran a kids’ club for children from different parts of the world, prepared daily programs, and led mini discos in the evenings.

After returning to the Czech Republic, I worked as a full-time nanny for four families. My most recent work was caring for clients with mental health challenges.

I graduated from a secondary vocational school with a focus on social work (Lomnice u Tišnova) and I am currently studying psychology at university.

I am friendly, empathetic, very patient, and full of positive energy. In my free time, I enjoy reading, singing, crafting, horseback riding, cooking, spending time in nature, practicing yoga, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

I am currently on maternity leave. Childcare is possible either at my home or yours. My own 3.5-year-old child is part of the childcare, and is used to being around other children. In my care, I follow the principles of respectful and conscious parenting.
