Caring and Multilingual Mother with Real-Life Childcare Experience, Offering Loving Home Support
| As a loving and dedicated mother of two daughters, ages 7 and 12 months, I bring a natural ability to care for children with patience and kindness. Although I have no formal nanny experience, my hands-on experience as a mother has equipped me with the skills to provide attentive and nurturing care. I am also happy to assist with household tasks such as cleaning, tidying up, meal preparation, and helping with homework. Originally from Hungary, I have been living in Canada, New York, and Northern Ireland since 2014. I am fluent in both English and Hungarian and also work as an interpreter, which has enhanced my communication skills. I am confident that my background as a mother, my multilingual abilities, and my dedication to creating a safe and happy environment for children make me a strong candidate for this role.
