About Me
Hi, I’m Elizabeth.
About me:
I am 29 years old, married to my husband Jack and have a daughter called Esther (2021) and son called Samuel (2024). I am setting up as a Childminder as a decade of being a teacher and nanny.
Ethos:
I’ve really been getting into the Montessori style of childcare, especially with my daughter as it allows us to be child-led and follow her interests throughout the day. This allows us to balance planned activities with free explorative playtime. However, I am extremely flexible when it comes to the desires of parents in preferred methods of parenting/ childcare.
I love kids and family life!
I try to take the children in my care outside everyday for a walk or time in a playground as well as social groups like playgroups or classes which helps split the day up and stimulate exploration. I also focus on child led play that helps develop independence, imagination and creativity. I enjoy encouraging children to discover who they are and try new things through play and real-life activities.
I am looking forwards to meeting you and your little one for all the amazing adventures ahead.
My Experience
I previously worked with a family with two children aged 18m and 6 for two years. I had my daughter with me too and we were together three days a week.
Before that I worked for a family with two children aged 1 and 3 in Tunbridge Wells. As the parents worked from home mostly my main role was to do activities with the children and support the family with general childcare duties/home help. I started with both at home and slowly transitioned the older one to reset and then school while having the younger one at home during the day. This gave us time for plenty of activities and variety to the day between groups and pick ups from school.
Before this I worked for a family in Fulham/ Victoria (London) with an 18 month old girl (9m when started). I provided fully time care 50 hours a week. I was in charge of activities, food planning/ cooking and basic home care/ organization and general childcare duties.
Prior to this, I was with a baby boy, doing the same role as above. I looked after him between the age of 10 months to 15 months.
Before that role I looked after a family with a 3 year old boy and 6 year old girl. I fulfilled general care duties, household support, daily pick up from school and homework/ music practice. The little boy had a speech delay so I worked with him using a range of phonics activities.
I have also done ad hoc care (daytime and evening) for a few friends’ children since they were 2 months old until school age.
I have nannied over the previous 4 summers for a baby/ toddler and children aged 8 months - 10 year old.
Helped on Christian summer camps and in church kids groups for children aged 6m and up.
Babysitting for 3 week old- 11 year olds.
Part time nanny for 2 kids
Full time nanny for three families with babies/ toddlers since April 2019.
Ad hoc childcare for toddlers and babies of various ages over the past 8 years.
