MARIE GÖTTFERT
Summary
It is my biggest joy and passion to create a safe and loving environment for every child in my care. I believe children thrive when they have a space where they can express all their emotions, feel truly seen, understood and loved, and be encouraged to show the uniqueness within them. With a decade of experience as a nanny across several countries, I have learned to meet each child and family where they are, building trust through patience, warmth and consistency. I nurture emotional awareness, curiosity and confidence through play, open communication and gentle guidance, and I adapt easily to different routines, cultures and family needs.
