My Summary
About Me
My name is Lianne and i am 30 years old.
I enjoy thinking up crafts and activities to keep children amused and encourage their development. I enjoy keeping active by going walks and horse riding.
My Experience
I have been working with children since the age of 16 both in paid and voluntary sectors.
I have experience working with children from 5months to 14years old.
I have worked in private nurseries where i had to do crafts, songs and games with small groups of children. As well as volunteering at my local girls brigade where i have to do the same with a much larger group of girls.
I have nanny experience for a family of 3 boys who kept me on my toes, thinking up games, crafts and doing light housework including making meals for children. I worked some weekends with them and enjoyed taking them to and from various activities as well as local parks.
As a mothers help for a previous employer my role involved cleaning, washing clothes, taking initiative when it came to organising daily activities, classes and crafts for the child. During my time with this family I helped to create a routine which centred around the child's needs. I was able to find classes which the child enjoyed and created opportunities for him to engage and socialise with other children, I would take him to soft play which not only gave him the opportunity to socialise but also encouraged him to use his gross motor skills by practicing walking. My role also involved overnights.
I introduced a daily diary for the child which meant that both parents and myself could keep up to date with regards to the child's daily needs including medication, food intake and sleep pattern.
I created a treasure basket for the child which encourages fine motor skills, discovering new textures, colours and sizes. I have a letter of recommendation from my previous employer.
I am currently working part time with twin two year olds. My role involves light housework and meal prep along with the day to day care for the boys. I take them to classes like book bugs, music and gymnastics which encourages a wide range development. I also take them for days out and plan activities / crafts to do indoors with them.
My Qualifications
I have higher English and an Higher National Diploma in childhood practice,
I have also attended and completed a first aid course from St. Andrews first aid.

Lianne has been working for us for the past 2 years caring for our twin boys since just after their first birthday, In this time she has become part of our family, someone we trust entirely with the care of our boys and who they adore. We often turn to her for guidance and advice on the boys care. We work irregular shifts and Lianne has always been willing to be flexible and help out in emergencies She has been totally reliable, always punctual and frequently goes the extra mile when it comes to the boys. She is one of the kindest people we have ever had the pleasure to know and this shines through in her care.

Lianne was Nanny for my 3 little boys, for a long period of time working long hours to coincide with my shift pattern - at times, challenging, but Lianne was wonderfully supportive in assisting the ebs and flows of family life, and could not do more to help.
She removed all concerns I had in leaving my boys to return to employment, (having never used childcare before), and in no time she proved her skills in working with our kids, who span the age spectrum whilst displaying the same values as I do, when delivering the highest standard of care. She formed bonds with each of the boys, in no time. Using age appropriate methods and communications with all of them. And has the patience of a saint :)
Lianne managed crisis, illness and injury perfectly during her time with us, and each time she did so with professionalism, efficiancy and adhered completely to the protocals I had laid out for the care of the children in my absence. (3 kids, over the winter period - you can imagine).
Her sense of creativity never failed to amaze me. And her kind gentle manner is just what you need as a parent, to feel assured your babies will be safe. But Lianne balances this aspect of her personality perfectly with the ability to be firm and offer guidance and resolution if a child`s behaviour is challenging, ensuring safety also.
Another sound feature of Lianne`s practice is her communication and handing over of information, also her timely awareness of when I was to be contacted at work regarding any issues in my absence. In all these respects I arrived at a point where I was at work, completly confident that Lianne would contact me if I was needed and also manage any situation confidently until I arrived home - and it certainly happened a few times! So I can say all this with experience :)
In short Lianne blew us away, the Boys still think of her fondly, as they saw her as extended family, they loved her to bits. And will hopefully always be there to babysit for us.
