About Me

*I start my new role in mid August so I'm available to help with summer holiday childcare until then!*

I have worked as a nanny for 13+ years, for children varying in age from newborn upwards. I believe that I am constantly learning from the little people I surround myself with, as well as doing my best to help them learn. I am used to looking after multiple children (experience with up to 4) with busy schedules and specific needs. I have nannied through potty training, starting school, and other major childhood milestones.
In all the childcare positions I have held I strive to influence the children in good behaviour and manners, and to include educational activities in our playtime. My main priority in the children’s (and my own) day to day life is that they are happy and having fun! I understand the need to communicate well with parents, and to be an effective link with schools or any other groups or clubs.
I pride myself on my imagination and creativity, and I very much enjoy encouraging the children to explore their own.
I enjoy cooking and baking, and I find involving the children with planning, preparation and participation can be lots of fun for everyone. I am able to prepare healthy, child friendly meals and am confident taking on responsibility for mealtimes. I often batch cook, or make extra for the parents.
I hope I have given you an overview of what I can bring to the nanny role, but am very happy to discuss any questions you may have.
