About me

Hi, I'm Sylwia! 😊 I'm a warm, friendly and reliable nanny with over 20 years of childcare experience, looking after children from newborns to 12 years old. I genuinely love spending time with children and making sure they feel happy, safe and comfortable. Whether it's playing games, getting creative, reading stories, preparing meals or getting little ones ready for bed, I always try to make our time together enjoyable. I'm happy to help with occasional babysitting, one-off bookings, evenings and weekends. I understand that every family is different, and I always aim to make things as easy and stress-free as possible for parents. I'm Ofsted registered, DBS checked, Paediatric First Aid trained and hold a Common Core Skills and Knowledge certificate. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones! ❤️

Activities Sylwia likes to do with children

I enjoy playing games, reading stories, baking, swimming and spending time outdoors with children. I also love a bit of imaginative play and finding fun ways to keep children entertained. For evening babysitting, I'm equally happy helping with dinner, bedtime routines and a cosy bedtime story!

I have known Sylwia for 9.5 years. She looked after my child from 6 months to 9 years old. Sylwia is warm, loving and friendly, but also no-nonsense when needed. Also, she is easy to work with, direct and open. She is absolutely trustworthy, always on time and I trust her with children, money and running errands etc. I would absolutely recommend her for babysitting.

I've known Sylwia for about six years. Sylwia was looking after my two youngest (I have three children). I think Sylwia is very kind, very engaging, very caring, very happy to do things (like taking the children to the swimming pool, exhibitions, festivals, dance classes etc.). She's even suggesting things, and knows what's going on. All the safety aspects are taken care of with Sylwia. She's caring, patient and dynamic. I've never had any issues with her. She's very flexible - I have already recommended her to [my child's] ballet teacher.

“Sylwia is clearly very competent at dealing with babys and young children (including a boy who does not like to be separated from his parents), and is a pleasure to be around. She’s kind but firm. We would love to work with her again next time we’re in London.”

“Sylwia took great care of our two children. She was patient, warm, and easy to communicate with throughout the whole time. We really appreciated the photo updates she sent, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Overall, she had a great rapport with the kids and we would happily recommend her.”

“Sylwia was our sitter to our 2 twin 1 year old children 2 weeks ago (hired via the Peninsula) and I wanted to send a brief note of positive feedback to let you know how great she was. From the get-go, Sylwia was very kind and sweet with our children, easy to communicate with, and a pleasure to interact with. She truly went 'above and beyond' the line of duty, even going so far as to give our little ones a surprising / unexpected swim lesson in the pool downstairs (even though she hadn't brought a swim costume, she was willing to get splashed and wet in the interest of teaching our kids some swimming techniques!!). We loved meeting Sylwia and truly look forward to getting to spend more time with her during future visits as our kids get older.”

“Slywia was very caring with our 11 month old who was feeling a bit under the weather and gave me updates to reassure a worried mum. Thank you!”

“We feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful babysitter! She is incredibly reliable, always on time, and communicates clearly, which gives us so much peace of mind. Her sweet and friendly personality instantly made both us and our kiddo feel comfortable. She has a natural way with children—patient, playful, and genuinely caring. We couldn’t ask for a better babysitter!”

“Hi there, I’m writing to share our wonderful experience with Sylwia, who looked after our 15-month-old daughter, Florence, during our recent stay at Brown’s Hotel in London. From the moment she arrived, Sylwia was warm, professional, and clearly experienced. Florence immediately took to her—smiling, playing, and feeling completely at ease. Over the course of a long 10-hour day, Sylwia managed everything beautifully. She took Florence out for walks, to local parks and playgrounds, and kept her engaged and happy throughout the day. Sylwia also handled naps, meals, and bedtime seamlessly—putting Florence down for both her nap and nighttime sleep without any issues. She was incredibly responsible, communicative, and thoughtful, sending us regular updates and lovely photos that gave us real peace of mind. We would enthusiastically recommend Sylwia to any family, and we’d be delighted to have her look after Florence again in the future.”
