About Me

10 years ago I relocated to Norwich as my partner now works here from Greenwich, London.

Whilst in London I worked in a surestart setting for over 13 years.
I have also worked in schools and nannying children from aged 3 months to 11 years.
I am committed to working with and caring for children.
Children are our future, I firmly believe that children should have every opportunity to explore, learn and develop according to the EYFS principles.

I also have some Montessori experience.

I enjoy cycling, walking, reading, love gardening, being part of a community. I consider myself to be a good cook, I enjoy cooking.
I am vegetarian, almost vegan, not from an ethical point of view, I just don't like the taste of meat or dairy products. I do cook these products for my partner, he's definitely a carnivore!

I have a full clean driving licence but do not have business class insurance which enables me to carry my employers children lawfully. I have access to a car and good links to public transport.
My daughter is grown up, she is now a mummy to 2 little boys and does not live at my home.

My Experience

I have worked in primary schools, as a private nanny and in a children's early years centre for over 21 years.

I was in my previous position for 13 years, caring for children from 3 months to 4 1/2 years., When I left I was Nursery Practitioner in the baby room for children aged 3 months to 19 months.
My reason for leaving was my relocation from Greenwich to Norwich.

After my move to norwich I was a room supervisor in a nursery that is strongly influenced by Montessori.
My reason for leaving this position was to look after my own daughter following the birth of her baby who lives at her own home.


I have worked with and cared for children across all ages from 3 months to 11 years.
I have excellent working knowledge of EYFS.
Some knowledge of Montessori.
I am also a qualified Baby Massage Teacher.
I teach parents/carers how to massage young babies, creating and supporting the bond between baby and its main carer, benefits of massage and techniques that will relieve some ailments.
I am currently supporting SEN children aged 8-9 years in mainstream school from 8.15am until 3.30pm.


Excellent references are available.

My Availability

*****************************************************************************************
My availability is limited at the moment due to my current working hours but if you think I can help, do ask. I'm up for occasional hours to something on a regular basis.
After Christmas, I will be looking for a new adventure to begin in the coming new year, are you it? ?

*****************************************************************************************

A job share with another family is a possibility.

Hours are negotiable!
Maximum of 3 children, 1 of which should be a confident walker. ( this does not exclude twin or triplet babies)
I am not ofsted registered as I am not a childminder.
I will work in the home occupied by the child / children I look after.
I will not be available for holidays abroad.
I will not look after very sick children, they need their own parents at this time.
If I am not required to work contracted hours I will still be expected to get paid for my time.

I would prefer not to be required to work after 6pm unless prearranged.

I am mainly looking for a nanny / mothers help position


If you would like to discuss any possibilities, I am open to negotiations.
I'm really flexible and understand how difficult it can be getting childcare for odd days, unsociable hours.
If I can help, I will try.
Just get in touch!
