Jemma

About Me

Dear Family, my name is Jemma Louise Saxton and I am looking for a long term, permanent live in nanny position in any area of London. I have several years of live in nanny experience in London, as well as a year spent in Australia.

Here is a little more information about me;

I have eleven years childcare experience, approximately eight years as a live in nanny caring for children from 12 weeks to 12 years old and three in a day care nursery.

I am a mature, reliable, and trustworthy nanny working with twins, young babies and large families with up to four children. My most recent nanny positions include a set of 12 week old twins in London and in the Middle East and a family in west London with a 3 year old girl and 6 month old boy. I am a confident cook with the ability to make a variety of dishes. I’m also happy to complete all childcare related tasks including children’s laundry.

I am willing and confident in all aspects of childcare, including potty training and weaning through to planning and executing many different activities and excursions. I believe new experiences are essential for a child's development, and think it important for children to play outside and meet other children through clubs, classes and play dates. Balance is key however, and it is as important for children to be able to spend time at home enjoying many different activities from crafts, to baking and imaginative play to promote their development.

I also have a love of animals, so any pets you may have are not a problem and I would be happy to walk and feed any furry friends.

None driver but confident with public transport. None smoker.

Able to become Ofsted registered

I hold four excellent contactable written references, here are a couple of brief extracts:

“She was very confident with B who was quite a little baby, she started weaning him, and brought in a routine for him. D, my daughter, absolutely adored Jemma, they immediately clicked, they laughed a LOT together - Jemma was really good at coming up with creative games with her and was very active in making local friends and organising play dates.”

“Jemma was very diligent in looking after the children’s health and their safety. I felt completely confident with them in her charge.”


“Jemma has been very dependable and flexible to fit to our busy work schedules. She has never been late or unreliable. My husband and I are often away during the week for work, Jemma has sole charge responsibility of our child all day for often up to 4 days at any one time. This means that she takes care all of his needs from getting him up in the morning, preparing and giving him all his meals, organising activities for him, getting required supplies, doing his laundry etc."

"Jemma always kept things together and could handle the chaos well!! Jemma was always very flexible and easy to get along with. She was always on time for work, Jemma would happily complete any task asked of her. Our children have fond memories of Jemma and enjoyed their time with her."
