Dear parent,
Hello, I’m Khadija, affectionately known as Dida; a professional Nanny and Governess trusted by families for my warmth, nurturing presence and educational insight. I bring over five years’ combined experience in teaching and private household service, grounded in a strong foundation in child development and early education.
Before specialising in international private family settings, I spent more than three years as an oral English tutor, Early Years teaching assistant, and book-loving librarian in my beautiful country Kenya. These experiences shaped my deep understanding of how children learn, build confidence, and express themselves with authenticity and joy.
Since then, in Saudi Arabia and Tanzania, I’ve served as a live-in Governess and English tutor for high-profile families, refining the art of blending structure, creativity, and calm professionalism within the home environment.
To me, exceptional childcare goes far beyond supervision. My approach is a holistic blend of education and empathy; nurturing children’s curiosity, emotional intelligence, and social grace through gentle structure, meaningful conversation, and joyful learning. I’m known for creating serene, engaging spaces where children feel secure, respected, and inspired to explore the world around them.
Fluent in British English and Swahili, conversational in Arabic, and with a working knowledge of French, I bring strong cultural awareness and adaptability to international households. Discreet, reliable, and wholeheartedly devoted to my profession, I take pride in becoming a trusted presence within the family; someone parents can depend on completely, and children genuinely adore, bringing harmony, consistency, and joy to daily family life. I also end up adoring the children right back.
I’m now looking forward to joining a kind, respectful family who values harmony, trust, and open communication; where I can contribute long-term stability and wholehearted care.
Could this family be yours?

Warmest regards, hugs to the angels
Khadija (Dida)
