About Me

I am a fun, energetic, and loving nanny with 4 years professional nannying experience, plenty of initiative and a genuine love for children. I am looking for a full time position starting September 2025 (can be slightly flexible). I am keen to find a long term position where I can build a genuine connection with the family and watch the children grow up. Open to live out or live in options.

I have always been academic and an avid reader, and have plenty of experience helping children with homework, music practice, and school projects - especially World Book Day costumes! I am a native English speaker and my spelling and grammar are excellent. I attended excellent schools in and around London, therefore I am familiar with the education system and entrance exams.

I live an active and healthy lifestyle, and I love being outdoors with the kids come rain or shine. I personally enjoy running, hiking, football, and swimming. I am a keen cook and love trying new food - many of my previous charges have had a range of severe food allergies, therefore I am very experienced in preparing appropriate meals and coming up with alternatives. I’m extremely tidy around the house and organised with laundry, though I am not looking for a housekeeping position. I have efficiently potty trained multiple children. I am also keen to take on PA tasks and travel with families. I love animals so I’m more than happy to care for pets/walk dogs etc.

I have wonderful bonds with all of my previous charges and their families, which I truly cherish. I am very sociable and have formed great friendships with local nannies and families in my previous roles, which has been perfect for play dates and local activities/classes. I know London and everything it has to offer for kids extremely well; I am always on the go and finding unique and engaging activities to complement and extend the children’s education. I have excellent knowledge of EYFS and developmental milestones, and I’m also very creative when planning at-home activities. My past favourites have included making our own board games and bug hotels!

I am an easy going, unflappable, and patient nanny, but value boundaries and instilling manners, so that children in my care can learn the importance of kindness, independence, and respect from a young age. I’m passionate about encouraging children to be creative, get out and explore, read, make things, be involved in the kitchen, ask lots of questions, socialise, and play imaginatively - I truly want to give the children in my care the most loving childhoods possible.

I am currently learning to drive and have a test booked in August 2025. I’m very confident and experienced with taking multiple children on public transport.
