About Me

Available for primary school tutoring and babysitting/some evenings and weekends.

Hello.... :) I'm 37, female, a qualified primary teacher, experienced nanny and private tutor. I have experience caring for multiple children from new born age, and experience of special needs through my time as an Early Years Practitioner. I have a good knowledge of the primary school curriculum, and currently work in a year 3 class.

I have been working as a teaching assistant on the Wirral since June - this gives me the opportunity to work in a primary setting and use my teaching skills without the pressures of being a full time teacher. Since moving back to the Wirral a few years ago I spent a year nannying for a 9 month old in Calday after spending 18 months working for a family in West Kirby with three children, aged 3, 6 and 8. Prior to this I worked as a full time Nanny in London for 2-3 years. During this time I worked for three gorgeous families, caring for their children (aged newborn to six years) in Islington and London Bridge. My role began as a shared Nanny for two families, and I cared for their little boy and girl, both around 9 months when I started working for them. This was a sole charge role, though we enjoyed spending time together with the families when their time and work allowed. My days began at 7:45, and I would dress and breakfast the babies, and undertake all expected duties around their care. We attended baby classes and enjoyed days out to parks, play centres, museums etc. Both families went on to have another little one, and when one family moved out of the area, I split my time between the family in Islington and their cousins in London Bridge (aged two and four when I started with them). The children were homeschooled and I assisted in their learning, through daily activities and teaching of maths, phonics reading and writing.

Before moving to London, I worked for 18 months as a full time nanny in Manchester for a family with four young children (now aged 1, 3, 5 and 6). I also looked after two gorgeous boys once a week (aged 9 and 11), and tutored the youngest for one to two hours each week, focusing mainly on reading and writing and helping with his Dyslexia. We worked on any specific difficulties he was having in school, homework projects, and general Maths and English. I love little ones and was sad to leave my previous families at Christmas, but excited for my new Nanny role.

Prior to being a full time nanny I spent Summer 2016 volunteering as a teacher and orphanage helper in Tanzania. I have my own car, and am happy to travel for work. I will care for children of any age, and totally open to discussing any special needs care.

I’m absolutely passionate about working with children, and am kind and caring in my approach. I’m creative and loving, and relish the opportunity to have a positive impact on the educational, social and emotional development of any child in my care.
