My Summary
About Me
I have a deep passion for working with children and have been a trusted babysitter since my secondary school days. With experience caring for a wide range of ages—from newborns to pre-teens—I have a strong understanding of the different needs each stage brings. I first started by helping out family friends, and now many families reach out through recommendations, which I consider a huge compliment!
In my own time, I enjoy going to the cinema, experimenting with healthy recipes, and keeping my space organized and welcoming. Coming from a large family, I’ve been surrounded by children my entire life, and I love the energy and joy they bring. I consider myself a friendly, outgoing, and considerate person who is passionate about creating safe and engaging environments where every child feels valued and included.
I am also a big believer in the power of play and creativity, so I love planning fun activities that keep kids active and curious while helping them learn new skills. With my well-mannered and warm personality, I am always ready to lend a helping hand and make every day a bit brighter and more structured for the families I work with.
My Experience
I bring extensive experience in childcare across a variety of roles, most recently as a full-time nanny for a wonderful family. My responsibilities include preparing nutritious meals, organizing school bags for the next day, keeping the children’s rooms tidy, arranging their clothes, and ensuring the home is in order before I leave. I handle school pick-ups Monday through Friday (I drive), assist the boys with homework, manage their bath routine, and settle them into bed before their parents return. I’m also available to support the family during school holidays when needed.
Previously, I worked as a part-time Teaching Assistant at an Independent School, where I supported vulnerable students with special needs. This role required high levels of patience, empathy, and attentiveness, qualities that I bring to all my work with children.
Additionally, I nannied one day a week, typically on Sundays, providing hands-on care for young children. My responsibilities included taking them to the park, joining family outings, playing board games, preparing lunches, putting the toddler down for naps, and tidying up the play area to maintain a safe and organized environment.
In 2020, I worked as a part-time nanny from Monday to Thursday, with additional babysitting on weekends. I cared for two wonderful children, ages 12 and 14, supporting them with household tasks such as ironing, preparing healthy meals, and ensuring their homework was completed.
On Wednesdays through Fridays, I also worked in a school setting, where I supported students ages 13-16 with challenging behaviors. I focused on helping them stay engaged and fostering a supportive, understanding environment.
From 2017 to 2020, I worked as a part-time nanny for a fantastic family, caring for three children. My role included school pickups, preparing balanced meals, organizing outdoor and educational activities, and managing bath and bedtime routines. I was also available for occasional overnight stays when the parents were away.
With years of experience and a genuine passion for working with children, I am committed to creating a nurturing, safe, and engaging environment for every child in my care. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like to know more!
