About

About me

I combine many years of personal experience with children, professional knowledge in psychology, three languages, creativity and a real love of movement and play.

What matters most to me is seeing every child as an individual – with their own interests, needs, strengths and challenges.

My aim is not only to look after your child reliably, but to accompany them attentively and inspiringly through their day and support their personal development.

Trust + security + development + joy + respect.

Care

A dependable daily structure – and at the same time room for joy, creativity and personal interests.

  • warm, attentive childcare
  • a reliable daily structure
  • accompaniment to sport, music, courses and activities
  • walks and outdoor time

For me, a game can be much more than entertainment

A game can make a child think, spark creativity, expand language, strengthen social skills or help them discover something new about themselves and the world – all without losing the fun.

Experience

My personal experience

My most important and longest experience with children is my own life as a mother. I accompanied my daughter on her path and learned how much it matters to support, challenge and encourage a child while giving them confidence in their own abilities.

My daughter received an excellent education and developed for many years in competitive tennis with very good results. That experience showed me how important the balance between discipline, support, motivation, joy and a child's own wishes really is.

Another formative experience was family life with a partner who had three children of his own. I built a close, trusting relationship with all three: everyday life, cooking, driving to sport and activities, and attentive care for their wishes and needs.

Throughout, it mattered to me to notice and support the relationships between the children – to see what each one needs and how good togetherness can grow.

Children are close to my heart

I have a very natural, easy connection with children. They feel comfortable around me and seek contact on their own.

I love playing with children – board games, movement games, creative games or games that build concentration, language and thinking. I enjoy going outside and discovering new things together.

  • You may be curious.
  • You may ask questions.
  • You may try things out.
  • You may make mistakes.
  • And you may enjoy learning something new.

Movement, sport and creativity

Movement is part of my own life. Dance was my competitive sport until the age of 24 – ballroom and Latin – and I also taught children to dance.

Today I still dance, play tennis and golf regularly, but no longer as a professional. Through intensively accompanying my daughter during her professional tennis career, I know competitive sport from the inside.

That is why I love supporting children in sport and outdoor activity. I find it wonderful when children don't only learn at a desk, but get to know their body and build self-confidence.

Interests: ballroom and Latin dance, tennis, golf, fitness, cross-country skiing, hiking, walking, crafts and model building.

What you can expect from me

Trust + security + development + joy + respect

I am a cheerful, positive person and gladly bring good spirits with me. I smile often and enjoy sharing that energy with children and adults alike.

At the same time I am attentive, reliable and discreet. I listen and truly notice people. I know that every family has its own culture, values, habits and rules.

I want to fit well into your existing family life while being valuable, independent support for parents and children.

I am looking for long-term cooperation with a private family, where I can become a dependable part of everyday life and accompany a child attentively and individually.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which families do I work with?

Private families in Vienna where both parents have demanding careers, or where reliable, attentive everyday support is needed. One parent or two – it makes no difference.

How does the cooperation work?

I am registered self-employed and work without employment. Hours worked are invoiced – transparently and simply.

What does a first meeting look like?

First a conversation about your daily life, your values and your child's needs. Then a meeting with the child and a trial day. Trust grows through experience, not words.

Do you also drive and organise activities?

Yes. Accompaniment to sport, music and courses, organising free-time activities and keeping a reliable daily structure are part of my work.

Which ages do you look after?

Kindergarten and school-age children. With several children I pay particular attention to how the siblings get along.

How do you handle discretion?

Everything I experience in your family stays in your family. Discretion is self-evident to me and part of my professional attitude.
