My Summary
About Me
I adore working with children of all ages, but my real passion is caring for babies and toddlers.I’m full of energy and love for life and would consider myself a very happy positive person. I have taken care of children since I was 14 and have been a nanny for the past 3 years. I love to travel which has led to working and volunteering abroad with children. I have a gentle "big sister" approach to my childcare and love building trusting relationships with children and parents. I have an array of my own toys, books and crafts to bring along, as well as my own JOIE360 Carseat.
My Experience
I have been a Nanny to a beautiful, now 4 year old and her 16month old brother for the past two years. I have alongside worked occasional jobs for several families with the majority being babies and toddlers and a few families with older children. The past two years I have spent the winter/easter peak weeks in a Creche in Switzerland with a luxury ski company, looking after several children at once. Im also a qualified gymnastics and trampoline coach which I have worked in for the past 8 years alongside nannying. This led to lots of babysitting from the age of 14. I am confident in sole charge with children of all ages including newborn. I spent 6 weeks in mexico volunteering with children who couldn't afford school and spent January 2024 in an orphanage in Bali looking after 24 under twos. I am very comfortable with all nanny/ babysitting duties eg Bottlemaking, nap times, transporting, bath/bed times, play skills, creativity, activity/outing planning etc. I am also a occasional personal assistant for young lady with cerebral palsy so have experience peg feeding, wheelchair and house use. I have my - DBS, Paediatric first aid and several childcare courses - I have a full CV if you would like to see my qualifications/ skills and experience

Lucy looked after my 8 month old baby this week and it seemed like he had the best day. It was my first time leaving my boy with someone other than family but Lucy was so reassuring and sent lots of photo updates through the day.
