Summary
With several years of experience in estate and property management, I have developed strong skills in overseeing household operations and coordinating maintenance and staff. My role has involved ensuring that properties are well-maintained and that all aspects of the household run smoothly, from scheduling repairs to managing vendor relationships. Additionally, I bring over 15 years of experience as a professional nanny, where I cultivated a nurturing environment for children, focusing on their development and well-being. This combination of estate management and childcare expertise enables me to create a harmonious and efficient household that meets the needs of both the property and its residents.
