My Summary
About Me
I come from a large family so have always been around children and been responsible for them from a young age. Working with children will always bring joy to the most menial of things, which is why I have chosen nannying as a career.
I am a sporty person - I love football. I have a FA Coaching certificate, which focuses on football but can be applied to other sports too. I was a pitchside therapist for Bradford City Football club academy (ages 7-18 years). I have also treated children's injuries in a clinical setting too.
I am creative, with experience of art & DT leadership in school. I organised whole school projects and competitions. I like to draw in my spare time and have sold a couple portraits in the past.
I enjoy cooking and trying new recipes. I cook a lot of Caribbean food (my nephew is obsessed with my mac and cheese) but my favourite cuisine is Thai!
I have a very patient and maternal approach to discipline but I am happy to adapt my approach to suit the demands of the family, if they prefer to use a certain technique, e.g. time out.
I am very involved and try to engage the children's interests at all times, e.g. if we are out for a walk I will be talking to them about things in the everyday world we may come across to help develop their understanding. I am not the type of nanny to sit at the side and watch, I am very much engaged in play and have fun alongside the children.
I tend to naturally apply my teaching experience without realising, I may speak using phonics! Saying things like p-u-t on your c-oa-t. This helps when it comes to reading and writing.
I am fully flexible regarding location, as I am relocating to London. I would choose to live in the most convenient area in relation to the job that I secure. I am also flexible on start dates and able to organise living arrangements as soon as possible.
My Experience
I am a qualified primary school teacher, with a BSc in Sports Therapy. My previous classes were in Year 1, 2 and 5. I also have experience in Year 3, 4 and early years through course placements, whilst studying. I have an excellent knowledge of the national curriculum and early years framework, as a result. I am now looking for a more personable role working with children and families, as a live in or live out nanny. I want to spend more quality time with children, learning and developing but away from the overcrowded classrooms.
I have worked with children with behavioural issues, SEMH and SEN needs, including autism. I have had sole charge of my 2 nephews for a period of 2 months and have experiences of babysitting for friends and family, including overnight, of ages ranging between 6 months and 13 years old.
My Qualifications
I have a PGCE primary qualification, with extensive knowledge of the national curriculum and early years framework. I have a completed Paediatric First Aid Certificate, Mental Health in Children and Safeguarding Children. My undergraduate degree was in Sports Therapy.
I am happy to gain ofsted registration to work with you.
