Special Training
Virgin Atlantic Airways:
As a former flight attendant, I bring specialized training in safety, emergency response, and customer service. My experience has equipped me with in-depth knowledge of first aid, CPR, and emergency protocols, ensuring that I am prepared to handle unexpected situations calmly and effectively. I have been trained to manage high-stress scenarios, maintain focus under pressure, and make quick, sound decisions—all of which are essential skills in providing a safe and secure environment for children.
In addition, my background in customer service has taught me to be adaptable, attentive to detail, and proactive in addressing needs. This training allows me to anticipate and manage various situations smoothly, prioritize tasks, and ensure a positive, reassuring atmosphere. My time as a flight attendant has strengthened my communication skills, enabling me to interact with both children and parents in a warm, professional, and understanding manner.

For over 10 years, I provided dedicated care and support to a family with four daughters, taking on a wide range of responsibilities that ensured a safe, nurturing, and organized home environment.
Key Responsibilities:
* Childcare and Daily Routines
* I transported the girls to and from school, extracurricular activities, and social events, making sure their schedules ran smoothly.
* I assisted with homework, school projects, and research, especially helping the older children with larger assignments.
* I engaged in interactive play, reading, and developmental activities, particularly with the youngest, fostering her growth and curiosity.
* I provided overnight care whenever needed, ensuring a calm and consistent presence.
Household Management
* I maintained the children’s living spaces, keeping them clean, tidy, and organized.
* I prepared nutritious, child-friendly meals for the family and kept their schedules organized, coordinating school, medical, and social appointments.
Event and Travel Assistance
*I supported the family during in-house events, including Thanksgiving, Christmas, and other celebrations, assisting with both preparation and execution.
*I accompanied them on vacations, providing full-time support and supervision for the girls.
*I helped organize and manage family gatherings, contributing to food preparation and event logistics.
Safety and Well-being
*With my training in safety and first aid, I provided a secure environment and peace of mind to the parents.
*I observed and responded to each child’s unique needs, fostering a warm, encouraging atmosphere where they could thrive.
Additional Contributions:
I built a strong, loving bond with the family and became an integral part of their lives. Watching the girls grow and supporting their milestones brought me great joy, and I took pride in helping instill values of responsibility, kindness, and resilience.
Reasons for Leaving
I left the family in March 2024 when my aunt in Greece was diagnosed with cancer, and she had no one to care for her. I spent seven months in Greece supporting her through this difficult time. Sadly, my aunt passed away, and I returned to Los Angeles in mid September.
During my absence, the family’s needs had shifted: the older girls were in college and self-sufficient, while the youngest, still in school, was well looked after by her mother and grandmother.
We are so close that this past summer, the family visited us in Greece and spent three meaningful weeks together. They were with me during the passing of my aunt which was so precious.
I still work with the family whenever needed but the girls are old enough now and independent.
