Ursula Bongongo

My name is Ursula Bongongo, I am an experienced, caring and hard-working early years teacher. I love children and take huge pride in my work. Children have a readiness to learn and all they need is understanding, love and support, and I have ample amounts to give!

I have over 14 years experience working in creches and private playgroups with children aged 3 months to 4 years old, so I am well-versed in their needs and have helped raise over 200 children by helping them to learn sleep routines, independent eating, crawling, walking and potty training. I am trained in first aid, night nursing, au-pairing, nannying and potty training. I have experience with special needs.

I particularly enjoy supporting new parents with potty training and sleep, helping kids to become independent and make friends, and singing. Every child is different and I am passionate about understanding each child’s development and providing the support and care they need.
