My Summary

My Experience

Role: Nanny / PA
September 2022 - March 2023
Honor Oak - London. Caring for 3 Children ages 2-10.
This roles day to day would consist of preparing breakfast for the family, packing the school bags and dressing the girls for school, getting the two older girls to separate schools and having sole charge of the two year old throughout the day. Collection of the girls from school or clubs, completion of homework and preparing dinner for the family was how the days came to a close.
Naturally the majority of the day spent with the playful two year old meant we visited many clubs and learning groups as well as made a very conscious effort to do outside activities everyday come rain or shine. I love to do arts and crafts and to let their imagination run wild with her imaginative stories and games.

Of course keeping the house in order and tidy once the day was up was required. When the family went away, a full spring clean and organise of any toys or clothes that had been misplaced was completed.

Role: Sole charge of two children Monday – Friday. Ages 6yrs - 12yrs.
The role required prompt adaptation to a daily routine, whilst implementing and enforcing my own rules and ways of working to establish my authority yet gain respect from the children. Daily responsibilities included drop-off and collection of the children from school, cooking healthy meals each day, oversee completion of homework and chores, bath and bed routine and after school activities. Maintaining the cleanliness of the family household, helping out with duties such as, ironing, washing, deep clean of the kitchen, hoovering and anything that needed doing while I found some time that the kids didn’t require my full attention.

Organisation, punctuality and clear communication were key skills required to successfully maintain a healthy and productive routine for the family. The job enabled me to establish and develop a suitable level of authority, whilst applying my kind and patient nature of character. Three years of experience in this field has above all, provided me with the ability to swiftly adapt to changing situations and manage under high pressure in an appropriate manner.
