About Me

Hey!
My name is Olivia, I live and work in London as a full time Nanny, and Childminder.
I'm super energetic and outgoing, playing rugby at the weekend or running 5k most mornings I love being active and teaching children through sport, art and play.

My Experience

I’m looking for nanny job (day or night nanny) over August part-time/full-time/abroad or festivals. I can also support with sleep training and weaning.

I can do babysitting, or during the week after 17:30pm

I've been nanny for around 13 years in various roles such as; nursery teacher, live-in au-pair in both France and Australia, rugby coach, football coach, festival nanny, babysitter, drama teacher, live-out nanny, school run fun for a huge range of ages. Most recently, a premature newborn all the way up to 16 years old. I have a DBS check and paediatric first aid.

I'm currently training to be a Doula and Sleep trainer/consultant.

I’ve written a bit about me below and my background around aupair/ nanny and ad hoc babysitting.. sorry for info overload but heres a whistle stop tour of my CV!


My time at college was spent studying sport, I went into schools to teach PE, both practical and theory, coached football for 11-yrs and babysat in my spare time. At 18, I moved to London to become a nanny for two children with duties that included a mixture of homework, housework, meal-times and keeping them active. It was a huge challenge but was a fantastic push out of my comfort zone. I then moved to France for 4 months to look after 5 girls, now that was a challenge!

I read Drama at University and it gave me a creative and academic grounding. Whilst studying I worked at a preschool and nannied for families in a small village. My spare time has always been surrounded by young children that matched my enthusiasm and active lifestyle.

In the past, I have taken 10 children to France for a few years in a row, each year we enjoy the sunshine and I organise sport, drama, arts and crafts whilst juggling feeding and bed time. I certainly thrive in a challenge!

After graduating, I moved to Australia to work as a full time nanny, looking after 3 wonderful children (and a huge puppy!)
I was the sole carer and worked 6 days a week, cooking, cleaning and teaching the children. I tried studying there to be a teacher but due to costs and visas I decided to come home.

I then took an office job for two years until we went into lockdown. From May 2020 I looked after G (8) B (6) and B (newborn) over the years I homeschooled, light housework and worked 12 hours, 5 days a week.

A short interlude as a Senior recruiter for The Digital Fairy, BBC and PinkNews, I decided that you should do what you love and become a nanny full time.

For the past 10 months, I have been looking after a premature baby 3 days a week, school run for two boys in East London and 3 girls in North London, whilst juggling lots of babysitting! I will continue to look after the baby from September and will become a child minder if that interests you at all - (if you're local to Stoke Newington.)

If you’ve got this far in my profile I’d love to chat!
