My Summary
About Me
Hi, I am available from September 2024 up to 12 hours pw on a Monday or Friday.
I’ve been a nanny for 14 years in London, Hertfordshire and Essex.
With regard to school children I enjoy helping them with phonics and homework and have a creative flair. I can organise their school calendar, cook healthy homemade meals, bake cakes with the kids, keep their laundry up to date and I always ensure parent/s arrive home to calm exhausted children ready for bed and a fresh tidy home ready for them to relax for the evening with a home cooked dinner if they wish. All my clients go to work with a sound mind, knowing their dear ones are safe, secure, happy and will enjoy their day.
I have tended to children from new born to teenagers and have excellent contactable references. I am ofsted registered, dbs checked, have paediatric first aid training & childcare qualifications. I live with my husband in a village cottage with open land to enjoy and we like to cycle, socialise with family & friends and we enjoy eating out, going to the beach and visit various places that interest us, we particularly enjoy hiking in Wales through the waterfalls. I am very outdoorsy and love taking the children I care for to parks, walks, farms, soft play, swimming, dancing, the beach and exciting day trips.
My Experience
Experienced with looking after children of all ages from new born, including twins, children with allergies or food intolerances and one little boy who had austism.
