My name is Joyce, im a 36 year old British female, living in Kent. Im a self employed Holistic Therapist, and Yoga instructor, who has very strange working hours- and therefore many gaps in the week which could certainly be put to good use! Prior to setting up my business, I worked for many years as a nanny, and in the field of childcare. I have always enjoyed working with children- and for many years before the pandemic, I taught Yoga and Mindfulness at a junior school in south London (year 1 and 2), which i loved (it was very cute!). I’ve also recently written a yoga/mindfulness book for children too, which I’m hugely heartfelt about and is a side passion of mine. I had many years of experience working within the childcare system, and have always loved working with children. With a background of working in the Health and Social Care system, i always enjoyed a caring role. I studied Psychology at University, focusing very much on child development, as well as mental health. During my University years, i worked for an agency covering various different work environments: hospitals, care homes, children's homes, day-centes, night shifts etc. This acted as the foundation of my experience. After University i continued to work permanently in the Social Care/ mental Health system for 2 years, as well as spending some time travelling across Asia and India. I also spent 3 months living in Ghana, volunteering as a Teacher for a local charity run school, having full responsibility for a class of 20 children. I also helped out at a local orphanage in the afternoons. In addition to this, i spent 6 weeks volunteering at an orphanage in Mexico, working with the same company. This gave me a lot of inspiration to work with children for my career.
When I moved to London 9 years ago, I worked for a year in a highly established private children's nursery (Cavendish Lodge, Streatham). This was a lovely experience, and gave me so much knowledge and experience that I was able to take forward into my various Nanny roles. Although I am no longer working as a Nanny on a full time basis, I would love to still use some of my free time for ad hoc/ part time daycare and regular nannying/ babysitting. I drive too, which makes things easy.
