About Me

**Professional Profile: Nanny/Maternity Practitioner**


After dedicating the past 3.5 years as a Personal Assistant and Nanny for a family during a challenging time of bereavement, I am preparing for a transition as the family has recently relocated. Initially, my role was intended for six months, but I embraced the opportunity to provide comprehensive support to the family during their time of need.

As I take a well-deserved break, I am exploring short-term work opportunities where I can continue to make a positive impact on individual families. I am specifically looking for positions that do not require long-term commitments, as I thrive on creating meaningful connections and providing tailored support during pivotal moments.

If you are seeking a compassionate and dedicated professional to assist your family, please feel free to reach out. I am eager to explore how I can contribute to your unique needs during this transitional phase.

Here is more about me.

I am a highly experienced childcare expert with over 40 years in the field. As a mother of four grown children and an adopted son who is now 16, I bring a wealth of personal and professional experience to my role. Additionally, I have fostered children for 20 years, enriching my understanding of diverse family dynamics.

I also offer short term, ad hoc, last-minute emergency childcare services. Please feel free to contact me to discuss how I can assist you.

I am more than willing to step in and provide support while you search for a long-term nanny, especially if you need to return to work sooner than anticipated.

As a qualified maternity practitioner, I am dedicated to supporting families with newborns. I completed my Level 3 Maternity Nanny Course at Reading University 25 years ago, which was the highest qualification available at the time. I have since advanced my qualifications with a Level 5 Maternity Practitioner Course.

My expertise involves various roles, including Maternity Nanny , Newborn Nanny, Adoption Support, Special Needs Care, overnight stays for newborn twins, and proxy parenting if you are away or have an emergency to deal with. I have extensive experience with children across all age groups.

I am available to care for your newborn as a very young baby until they are ready for nursery placement or a permanent nanny. My background as a registered foster parent has involved continuous assessments and ongoing professional development.

I offer flexible availability, working during the day or overnight at short notice for one-off ad hoc positions. I took on a temporary job as a maternity nanny for a 6-week-old baby while the mother worked, I ended up working for the family for 6 months as we all worked so well together and I didn’t want the little baby to have to get used to someone else for a short period as they were moving back to London.

My specialised areas include adoption placements , newborn care, twins, attachment disorders, and behavioral support. My fees are negotiable based on hours and overnight stays.

With my maturity and life experiences, I approach childcare with a common-sense perspective. I am a warm, loving, and nurturing individual, known for being easy-going, fun, and confident in various situations. Additionally, my training as a counsellor enhances my ability to support families effectively.

I pride myself on being friendly, honest, and reliable while maintaining confidentiality. Residing in South Manchester, I am adaptable and often available at short notice, especially when unexpected childcare needs arise due to illness or other circumstances.

As a proxy parent, I take great joy in caring for your children, ensuring they have a fun and engaging experience while you are away.

Please feel free to call me, and I will do my utmost to assist you. I can provide excellent references upon request. Additionally, I am an animal lover and am happy to help with pet care as well.
I have a completely clean driving licence of over 40yrs .
