I have three years of experience as a live-in nanny and babysitter, during which I cared for children of various ages. My responsibilities included creating a safe and nurturing environment, organizing engaging activities, preparing meals, assisting with homework, and managing daily routines. I am patient, reliable, and passionate about helping children grow and thrive. My experience has taught me the importance of clear communication, adaptability, and building trust with both children and their families.

It is my pleasure to recommend for any childcare role. During her time as my babysitter demonstrated exceptional qualities that make her a natural fit for working with children. She is patient, nurturing, and attentive, ensuring the children under her care are not only safe but also engaged in meaningful activities that support their growth and development. Sphiwe’s warmth and ability to connect with children are evident in how she effortlessly builds trust and rapport. She has a creative approach to caregiving, often organizing fun yet educational activities that inspire curiosity and creativity. Her experience as a chef also adds a unique element to her care, as she prepares nutritious and enjoyable meals tailored to the children’s preferences and dietary needs. She is reliable, organized, and proactive in managing responsibilities, from maintaining daily routines to handling unexpected situations with grace and composure. Beyond her practical skills, Sphiwe’s natural empathy and cheerful demeanor make her a joy to work with for both children and parents alike. Her dedication to fostering a positive, supportive environment ensures that children feel valued and encouraged in her presence. Sphiwe has been an invaluable asset to every family she has worked with, and I am confident she will continue to excel in any childcare role. I wholeheartedly recommend Sphiwe for any position involving the care and development of children. She brings a combination of professionalism, creativity, and kindness that is truly remarkable.
