About Me

Hi parents,

I’m currently available for:
-weekend work.
-adhoc 9-2.45 daily work around Wimbledon/Putney/Southfields whilst my current charges are at school.
-evening babysitting around Tooting/Balham/Wimbledon/Putney/Southfields from 6/7pm.

I’ve been working as a private nanny for over 11 years, with my current role being working full time for the past four years with a wonderful family in Southfields. My current nanny charges are now both at school daily so I’m looking for something extra to keep me stimulated and busy.

I’m a bubbly, fun, New Zealand fully qualified early childhood teacher turned career nanny, whose been based in London for 11 years.

I am enthusiastic, have a fun sense of humour and am very passionate about providing a welcoming, caring, and respectful environment for children to learn and develop within. Cheerful, honest, responsible, gentle, patient, creative and calm are just a few of the characteristics those around me would describe me of having. My personal teaching philosophy is based on the importance of positive communication and forming reciprocal relationships with children and their families. I also lead by a firm but fair approach and encouraging child lead learning. I believe this allows us to understand and meet individual children and their family’s education and learning needs as well as their emotional needs.

I realised very early on that as much as I love working within the preschool setting working as a nanny is my preferred choice. I love creating individual relationships with the children and their families and much prefer to give each individual child my one on one attention. I love to spend time with the children following and developing their interests, if they enjoy cooking, then let’s cook! Are they arty? Me too! Let’s put our heads together and turn this box into a castle. Your child is passionate about music? As long as they are ok with my off pitch singing then great, let’s sing the roof of the house! (Not really, I promise we won’t destroy the place).

My Experience
