My Summary

My Experience

My first nanny job lasted 5 years. The girl I looked after was 1 when I first started with her stilted coming along a year later. I helped encourage all aspects of development with play dates and age appropriate activities. I would travel for long periods of time with this family and sometimes would have 24hr care. I helped the girls potty train on this time and cooked healthy meals. I left the job to relocate to London but still keep in contact with the family.
When I relocated I found a job in Twickenham. The boys were 2 and 5 when I started and my job was to take to and collect from school/nursery. I too the boys to a lot of clubs in the evenings as they were super sporty (football, tennis and swimming) o don’t drive but have never had a problem traveling. The boys thought of it as an adventure catching a bus. During the day I would make food for the boys as with their busy lifestyle it was always good to have food ready for when we got in. My time with them lasted 2 years until the boys went to a private school.
For the next 2 years I worked with two families as a share. My main job was to care for a baby who at the time was about to turn 1. I would take him to playgroups and music classes and make a weekly trip to the library. When he slept I would make food for 4 children from scratch as the parents particularly liked certain foods. I picked one girl up from nursery at 12.15 and the 2 older children up at 3. Sometimes they would bring a friend back (they would take this it in turns) and I always had an activity planned such as drawing around each other and drawing things they liked in the middle or sometimes a treasure hunt with clues around the house (always went well!) The job ended after two years as the main family moved to Haslemere but again I keep in contact with them and have babysat for the others from time to time.
For 2 years after that I was then looking after two girls as a nanny share. The mothers were NCT friends and both heading back to work. I started when the girls were 10 months. I have always cooked for both girls and helped get them into a sleeping routine when they were small. I have always taken them to groups like hartbeeps, diddy dance and currently ballet. They love being outside so we are constantly at the park. I helped with things like potty training and speech development. They have loved doing arts and crafts projects and we usually pick a theme for the upcoming month.
My last job was looking after a little boy aged 1 when I started. It was originally a 6 month temporary job that was extended to a year. I have loved working with him and have done many outdoor activities plus help expand his everyday skills such as feeding himself and speech development. I finished with this family at the end of July but have babysat on occasions for them during the summer.
Thanks so much for reading.
