My name is Alexandra Spence, and I started with Building Blocks in August 2022. I am a lovely, kind, hardworking individual. I previously worked as a Primary school Teacher in Zimbabwe for two years, qualified with a Diploma in Primary Education. I worked in a private nursery and primary school and taught children aged 6-9 years old and assisted in the nursery for children aged 3-5 years old. I then moved to the UK where I was a nanny to three lovely girls aged 3, 6 and 9 years old. I helped with breakfast each morning and got the younger girl dressed, followed by school drop off and collection. After school I supported the girls with their extra-curricular activities. I have completed my Level 3 in Childcare and Education and I thoroughly enjoyed obtaining new knowledge that I am able to put into practice alongside the children. In my spare time I love exploring the UK as it has lots to offer lovely walks in nature and in the city, sightseeing all the landmarks.

My name is Paula, and I joined Building Blocks in November 2024. I am from Albania moved to Greece when I was 12 years old and have been living in the UK since 2020. I have 2 boys, one starting Primary School and the other who attends the nursery. My previous experience is in hospitality, where I worked for 6 years gaining experience in customer care and team work. I am passionate about working with the younger children, particularly the under 2’s. I am a patient, caring educator who enjoys being around children supporting them through play to their fullest potential. In my spare time my hobbies are baking and trying out new recipes for my family, listening to music, going for a walk, reading a story to my children.
