About Me

I am an energetic, empathetic and driven 24 year old from New Zealand! I have lived in NZ my entire life until October this year where I've decided to travel to the UK to be closer to my grandparents and to travel more with friends. I hold a Bachelors in Biochemistry and Biology and a First Class Honours degree, along with many basic skills developed through a Nanny position, Highland Dancing hobby turned teacher and tutoring position.
All study and work positions have contributed to my dedication and outlook on life. I have gained a great sense of purpose and perspective through my cancer research alongside volunteering in Africa teaching Biology in schools, and Highland dance teaching back in NZ.
These positions have also encouraged my interest in travelling overseas in order to gain a larger appreciation of the world and experiences. I have just gained a two year Youth Mobility Visa and am excited to travel and live in Scotland to be closer to my grandparents and to visit friends.
I gained such joy and love from my previous nanny position that I would thoroughly enjoy an opportunity in this type of position. I formed lasting connections with the children and family I was lucky enough to be a part of and come from a large family of 5 children myself, therefore enjoy keeping myself busy! I have recently started up running as a hobby also, I enjoy keeping active and busy alongside my commitments.

My Experience

I am an attentive, committed and empathetic Family Nanny with background caring for multiple children simultaneously. I held a near on four year position caring for a family of five children aged newborn up to age 13. This was initially part-time throughout my studies before becoming full time prior to gaining an Artificial Breeding Despatch Technician role.

This position involved all the roles of a carer, with food preparation, activity drop offs, bedtime routines, homework encouragement, school holiday activities and full days of outings and home care with newborn and pre-school aged children. I gained great enjoyment from this role and formed lasting connections with this family before attaining my laboratory role and now moving overseas.

Previous positions have included Laboratory Assistant roles with demonstration and scholarship positions. These were during my study period followed by the Artificial Breeding Despatch Technician position and Educational Consultant with nannying present throughout my studies and for a year after.

My Qualifications

I hold a Bachelor of Science double majoring in Biochemistry and Biology and Honours degree in Biology.

My Availability

I am available for full time work throughout the week. I am planning to travel so may be away some weekends but can be available for weekends and evenings in some circumstances!
