Nanny in Manchester

Hello everyone! My name is Macarena, I am from Lima, Peru and have been living in Manchester for the last 2 years. I am currently studying for my bachelor's at University, which I am enjoying; and was hoping to get into sitting in my free time. I have been around children and pets for as long as I can remember and love it. I am fun, charismatic and very crafty, also, I can think on my feet and know first aid training. I am pretty good in the kitchen (thanks to my Latino roots) and can even teach your children some Spanish if you would like to! Please don't hesitate to contact me if you would like my services! Thank you:)

Welcome message:

Hi, I am Katy! I am 25 years old and a happy and social person. I have wanted to work with children for many years and was previously part of a Brownie troupe that helped me learn more about children. As a child I went to a child minder and spent lots of time around other children, this is when I realised I enjoyed interacting with younger children. As a teen I babysat local children while I was doing my GCSEs, one of which was in child development.

My passions are cooking/baking and outdoor sports, both of which I would be able to teach and encourage within your children. I am a very organised person who loves halloween and christmas, I would be able to plan themed activities for your children.

I have 2 cats, which I have had for 2 years, they are a brother and sister who are just over 2, called Tinkerbell and Toothless.

I would love to hear from you.

I have completed a masters of science in food consumer marketing and product development and a bsc in Food Marketing Management. I am looking to expand my career possibilities as I love working with kids, but was encouraged to follow my passion for food. I volunteered with children at a brownies troupe for over a year and massively enjoyed this, I would have continued if it was not due to a house move, due to this I have had a DBS check, however it will be specific to the brownie organisation. Like many people, as a teenager I was a baby sitter for local children, this was supported by my GCSE in Child development. I have an interest in food so would always be available to cook with your children and teach them whatever they would like to know. I am a very organised person so your home would be kept neat and tidy.

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Pet Boarding Provider

Follow these handy tips for hiring a private pet boarding provider perfect for ensuring your furry family member is safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away.

1. Check Their Experience

Ask how long they’ve been boarding pets and what kinds of animals they specialize in (dogs, cats, exotics).

2. Verify Training & Certifications

Look for credentials in pet CPR/first aid, animal behavior, or relevant pet care associations.

3. Tour the Boarding Environment

Visit their home or facility to confirm it’s clean, safe, and pet-friendly with secure fencing, proper ventilation, and comfortable spaces.

4. Ask About Daily Care & Routine

Understand how often pets are fed, walked, played with, and allowed outside.

5. Clarify Supervision Levels

Find out if pets are supervised overnight, how often they’re checked on, and how many pets are boarded at once.

6. Review Health & Safety Policies

Confirm vaccination requirements, flea/tick prevention, emergency protocols, and how illness or injuries are handled.

7. Discuss Special Needs Care

Ask if they can handle pets with medical conditions, medications, dietary needs, or anxiety.

8. Check References & Reviews

Read testimonials or speak with past clients to verify reliability and quality of care.

9. Understand Communication Style

Ask if they’ll provide daily updates, photos, or videos while you’re away for peace of mind.

10. Start with a Trial Stay

Book an overnight trial to see how your pet adjusts and how attentive the provider is before committing to a longer trip.
