Hello! My name is Marta, I am a 30 years young Latvian, who speaks, reads and writes English (also Russian) fluently and a little bit of German. I started gaining child care experience caring for my siblings - I have 3 sisters and 1 brother. For the past years I have been working with Alpine Child care, here, in French alps. I understand, how difficult it can be to choose the best nanny for you little ones, but I am willing to prove myself as a reliable, discreet and trustworthy person to make your family holidays as pleasant as possible. My motto is: Everyone just wants to be seen, heard and loved. :) See you soon!

Hi there! I’ve had the chance to gain experience in lots of different areas, which I believe makes me a well-rounded and adaptable nanny. My background includes athletics, modeling, and even working with IT systems—so I’m no stranger to staying active, creative, and organized! I’ve also been part of the European Youth Parliament, which taught me teamwork, leadership, and the importance of good communication. And yes, I have a driver’s license, so getting around is no problem! I have no direct qualifications with children but I have worked seasonally with Alpine Child Care since 2018 and looked after over 23 families children ranging from new born babies to teenagers. I love the variety I get from looking after different children and have learnt mostly on the job!

Since age 10 (currently, I'm 29) I have helped and later on taken care of my siblings by myself, so I can honestly claim that my experinece of child care is extensive and because of that I have developed a high sense of responsibility for others. I am able to take care of an infant, as well as a teenager. I have three sisters, who currently age - Elsa - 18 years, Vineta - 16 years, Anna - 15 years, and a brother Richard - 7 years. Lately, I have helped out my mom by looking after 3 of them at the same time, so taking care of 2 children wouldn't be a struggle for me. It wouldn't be a problem for me to cook, clean and do interesting and fun activities together. Everything to have best memories together. We can draw, play dolls, build snowmans and also I am up for a video game tournament, if required. :)

• I know Marta as very nice, responsible and hard-working person, who can be entrusted with childcare without unnecessary worries. I have entrusted to March to find out my grandchild and found that the grandson is always very well looked after and spent some time interesting. My grandson loves Martu and always looks forward to meet her :)
• Marta is a caring and experienced nanny. She has been looking after my children Elsa (12y), Anna (9y) and Richard (12months). She has been through it all - changing nappies, bottle feeding, cooking and playing together. Very responsible and someone my two daughters look up to! Evita Helda +37129739489
• Marta was lovely. She was prompt, swift to respond to messages and flexible with changing plans. Our baby and 5 year old both took to her from the start. Marta collected our baby from nursery each day and entertained / cared for her as needed, plus provided extra support and entertainment for our 5 year old after his ski lessons. It made our life a lot easier for the holiday and meant we all got to enjoy our skiing. Many thanks, Hilary Berlin Taylor La Tania January 2019
• Marta, was a fantastic nanny, very accommodating, pleasant and looked after my children very well, who were not easy! Clearly a clever individual with plenty of nouse. We were confident she could have dealt with any situation that came up. Trustworthy and we would love to have her again. Kind regards Henry Waite La Tania December 2018
• Marta Nikiforova looked after our two boys of 5 years and 4 months for 6 days in February 2020. She took on all aspects of caring for the baby, including feeding and nappy changes, she collected our eldest from ski school every day and prepared lunch and entertained both boys together in the afternoon. Marta was punctual, friendly and capable. The boys both liked her and she took on responsibility for both without any problem. Both boys were happy and well looked after while under Marta's care.

• Marta was brilliant looking after 2x11 month olds. She as able to entertain them in the chalet, get them down for naps and feed them everyday. They were always in a good mood when we came back from a days skiing. She has a very calm gentle approach and I would reccomend her.’ Nisha Denton Plagne Soleil January 2024
• Marta looked after our 3 year old for a week in February. He loved her. She was excellent in entertaining him and managing his protests about being left! Her manner is warm and engaging and always accommodating. Marta made our week by ensuring we could relax knowing our son was being well looked after. Thank you Louise Chapman Peisey Vallandry February 2024
• Marta was great with our 1 year old. She was perfectly on time every day and kept Daniel amused and busy from 10-5 every day. She kept in touch with us through the day letting us know how long he’d slept and how much he’d eaten etc. so we felt 100% comfortable with her looking after our little one. Would definitely recommend! Tom George Les Arcs March 2024
• Our experience with Marta as a nanny for our 2-year-old daughter Margot during our time in La Plagne was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment Marta stepped into our apartment, her warmth and professionalism were evident. Marta's rapport with Margot was immediate. She engaged her in age-appropriate activities, whether it was crafting, dancing, or outdoor play, Marta's creativity and enthusiasm kept Margot entertained and happy throughout the morning. Beyond her caregiving skills, Marta's attention to Margot's safety and well-being was unwavering. I felt completely at ease knowing Margot was in Marta's capable hands, allowing me to fully enjoy our first family ski holiday. Marta's punctuality and reliability were also commendable. She was always prompt and prepared, ready to dive into another day of adventures with Margot. Furthermore, Marta's professionalism extended to her communication with me as a parent. She provided updates on Margot's activities and well-being, ensuring I was kept informed and reassured throughout our time in La Plagne. In summary, Marta exceeded all expectations as a nanny for Margot. Her dedication, warmth, and expertise made our holiday truly memorable. I wholeheartedly recommend Marta to any parent seeking a nurturing and dependable caregiver for their child. She is a true gem, and we are grateful for the joy and peace of mind she brought to our family during our stay in La Plagne. Victoria Millane La Plagne March 2024
• Marta was absolutely amazing! She looked after our 3 year old son for the whole week and also helped with some of the other slightly older cousins helping with ski school pick ups etc. My son loved her immediately and we felt very happy knowing he was in good hands. She did lots of activities with him in the apartment and also took him sledging, out for hot chocolates and sometimes met the family for lunch/coffee. I had a very bad skiing accident on our first morning and spent the rest of the week in hospital - Marta was an absolute angel and could not have been more helpful, calm, kind and flexible. She sent me lots of photos while I was in hospital and my son was always having a great time despite what was going on! Thank you Marta! 🙂 Thanks so much, Lucy , La Plagne, February 2025
• Marta minded our two children (aged 2 years and 5 months) for a week last year, and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. From the very first day, both children were completely at ease with her. She is wonderfully calm, kind, and confident with children, and it was immediately clear that she is both capable and experienced. Throughout the week, I had complete peace of mind knowing our children were in excellent hands. Marta sent a short update each day around lunchtime, and when we returned to our chalet, she always provided a detailed breakdown of how the day went — including how the children had eaten, slept, and played. She was an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish: communication was easy, she was reliable and punctual, and she brought a lovely warmth to her time with our family. I would not hesitate to recommend Martha to anyone looking for a caring, professional and trustworthy childminder. Orla O'Riordan, La Plagne, February 2025
• I’m very happy to provide a reference for Marta. She looked after my three children during our skiing holiday in Les Arc, and we couldn’t have asked for a better nanny. Marta was warm, attentive, and highly professional. She kept the children safe, entertained, and happy, and she also cooked the meals we asked her to prepare really well. The kids loved spending time with her, and I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Marta is reliable, caring, and able to adapt easily to the children’s needs and moods. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any family. Best regards, Aline Fiorini, Les Arcs, March 2025
