My Summary
About Me
*looking for childminder for my grandson age 3 in harlow /newhall area only *
NOT Offering nanny work at moment
I am Ofsted registered as a Home Child Carer with an enhanced DBS
This means I would care for your child/ children in your own home.
I am a mother of two grown up children. I have lived in Hoddesdon and surrounding area for last 30 years. I have a 7 year old grand daughter and a new grandson who is month old x I have been a nanny for over 6 years and at the present time I look after a 4 year old girl and 6 year old boy. I have been their nanny for two years. The youngest will be starting full time school in September so I would be ideally looking to start work then with a new family but will consider earlier start with the right family .
I work 3 days a week from 8 am to 6.30pm . My role includes driving to and from school/nursery , making breakfast/lunch and tea . taking the youngest out to playgroups play-areas walks parks museums soft-play swimming and during the school holidays lots more activities for both of them as long as we having fun. I do reading and spellings with the children .. During lockdown this past year I have been doing home school with the oldest child. We also have a bath and bedtime routine. Since lock down last year my parents have been working from home so we have all had to adjust to a new normal and feel we have managed this well.
Previously I worked for two other families . One for 3 years and the other for 2 years . both having boys from age 1 year up to 4 at the start. I did work at one point for the two together. 3 days for one family and one day a week for the other. both jobs came to an end when the youngest child started full time school .
Before coming a nanny I worked in a pre-school, based within a local school for children aged 2-4 years for nearly three years and before that I have worked in early years as a deputy as well as a pre-school assistant for over 10 years. Whilst working at the preschool I looked after twin girls aged 6 , 3 evenings a week, picking them up from school giving them tea, reading and some homework. I looked after the girls for 2 1/2 years since they were 3 1/2 years old.
I'm looking for work 3/4 days a week. (preferably not Fridays). Also would consider looking after two families sharing out days if required for only 1 or 2 days .
I'm looking for a loving family who would trust me to look after their child/children within their own home. My aim is to provide happy and safe care while having fun and learning through play.
I have public liability insurance and business insurance on the car and hold a full clean driving licence. My car is equipped with car seats from birth to 12 years .
I have an up to date First aid certificate and have numerous qualifications from over the years. At the moment I'm looking into some refresher courses too .
My DBS is on the DBS Update Service System.
I was Ofsted inspected in April 2016 , outcome- compliant. (This means that I am complying with all requirements of registration for the Childcare Register.)

Karen has been looking after my two boys since September.
She helps getting them ready in the morning before school. Karen does the school drop offs and pick ups for us. She has my youngest during the day where she will take him to play groups and various activities. Karen sends me messages and photos during the day to let me know what they are doing, which I find really helpful.
Karen makes dinner for the boys and helps my son with his reading before I come home.
During school holidays she will organise trips out for the boys which they enjoy very much.
The boys are very fond of Karen and look forward to seeing her. There's always lots of giggling and laughing when I come home. They have such a fun time together.
Karen is very reliable and trustworthy. She's punctial and has been very flexible with us over the months. When we've needed childcare at the last minute she would always be happy to help. We've been very lucky to have found Karen!
