The Beginning: My First Steps as a Nanny

When I left home at 18, all I knew was that I loved working with children. Becoming a nanny was my first step into the professional world. At that time, it wasn’t glamorous — I earned very little, but I quickly understood that caring for children was not just a job. It was an opportunity to learn discipline, empathy, and the art of managing a household.

Learning Through Families Around the World

My work took me across the globe: Santiago de Chile, New York, Madrid, Sevilla, Barcelona, London, Washington, and the Channel Islands. Each city gave me a new perspective. Each family taught me something different — from adapting to cultural expectations, to balancing trust and discretion, to always being ten steps ahead of what was needed.

Through these experiences I learned to be organized, to read situations without words, and to know when to step forward and when to remain invisible. These were lessons no classroom could ever teach me, but they became the foundation of my career.

From High-Profile Nanny to Lifestyle Assistant

What started as childcare grew into something much greater. I moved from being an ordinary nanny to becoming a nanny of high standing, trusted by high-profile families whose expectations went far beyond playtime.

I organized schedules, handled logistics, managed relocations, and ensured confidentiality. I provided the stability children and parents needed in fast-paced, demanding lives. That responsibility pushed me to evolve into more than a caregiver — I became a trusted Luxury Family & Lifestyle Assistant.

Glasgow: A New Chapter

Today, I am based in Glasgow, where my career reached another milestone. Here, I was entrusted by a high-profile family whose confidence in me confirmed that every lesson I had learned through the years had real value.

Glasgow gave me stability and also the opportunity to reconnect with the world of football, while continuing to support families and executives. This has been the last family with young children that I have committed to, because now my focus is on building my path forward — supporting my clients’ lifestyles and projects at the highest level, while cherishing the privilege of watching “my” children grow.

Lessons That Shaped My Career

Looking back, starting as a nanny was the greatest training ground I could have asked for. It taught me to anticipate, to adapt, and above all, to build trust.

Today, I carry those lessons into everything I do as a Personal Assistant for athletes, executives, and international families. My story is proof that passion, dedication, and resilience can transform a simple beginning into an extraordinary career.
