About Me

I have been a nanny since March 2019 and am absolutely loving every minute :)
I have received both of my Covid Vaccinations, plus my booster jabs.
I am a mother of 5 lovely children, 4 of which have grown and left home now, and are starting their own families, all in their late 20s and 30s.
I also have one little one and he is still at home with me and attends school between 9 am and 3.30 pm Monday to Friday, he is 10 years old :) He has been diagnosed with Complex Tics/Tourettes and ASD. This of course gives me lots of experience in this area of childcare.
Having been a nanny, since March 2019, and along with the experience of raising my own children and of looking after friends children over the years, I have plenty of experience in childcare and children.
I have arranged and choreographed a Primary school Flash mob for my son's school's Christmas Fair recently and will do many more to come as I am also a member of the school's PTA. I have also previously worked for the Home Office in a Secure training centre for Children, helping them back onto the path of good behaviour and also working as an educational assistant within the detention centre, helping them to love learning again and achieve exams that they may not have done otherwise. I was called mum by the boys there too :)
I am presently a volunteer at my local library, running the weekly Rhyme Time sessions and also the weekly Story Time sessions.
I have bought my children up with love and fun and have taught them to love and respect all others. We are very charitable as a family and we have never had to raise our voices at one another in the home. We talk through any feelings or problems that we may have on a daily basis.
I love to have fun with the children and outings are paramount to my childcare beliefs. Daily trips to parks, the woods and museums twice a week and other fun adventures on the canal boats or Thames clippers to Greenwich are a must :)
Hampstead Heath woods are a favourite along with Highgate woods, for picnic camp building days and these are at least twice a week, depending on the weather of course.
Love, learning, respect and FUN are what I believe are truly needed, for a child to thrive and if this sounds Ok for you and your little ones, I would love to be a part of their little world, helping them develop, physically, mentally and socially :)
