My Summary

My Experience

In 2005, I worked in Spain as an Au Pair where I looked after three children whilst their parents worked. In 2006, I worked as a Nanny in Spain and looked after a baby throughout the day/ evening. When training to become a Nursery Nurse I gained experience in a school reception for a year and in a range of nurseries and pre-schools. Growing up I have always helped out in looking after other family members children.

In 2009, I became part of a Nanny company; this involved providing care for four children in the lakes in 2012. I looked after four children in the lakes for three days whilst their mum and dad got married, which was a lovely experience. I provide wedding day / evening care and have
plenty of experience in this area.
I currently babysit / nanny for a range of parents, during the / week days / weekends adhoc.

In 2007, I became a nursery nurse, I stayed in my first job as a nursery nurse for three and a half years. In 2010, I moved to a different nursery for a new challenge and to gain more experience.
However, in Aug 2014 I left to complete my BA (Hons) Degree in Early Years; becoming a Support & Learning Assistant in Nov 2015.

I have the ability and confidence to build strong relationships with both children and parents, which is crucial to make yourself and your little bundles of joy feel at ease.

On a daily basis when I was a nursery nurse, I provided activities for children involving their particular interests in order to progress, enhance and achieve within the 6 areas of learning included in the EYFS. I love the smiles on children's face when they learn something new that I have played a part in! The light bulb moment is incredible...

My Availability

I am available to babysit Wednesday- Friday evenings through to the weekend. If you require a particular date, please book in advance.

Please call or email for further information / Enquiries’s. Don’t hesitate to contact me especially if there are any issues regarding any info on the profile or questions you may like to ask.

Before the babysitting / nannying planned I usually advise parents to arrange a get together to discuss their child’s likes / dislikes, routine, dietary / allergies, medication, comforts, milk type / amount, emergency contacts etc.
Whilst attending the meeting it gives me chance to build a relationship with yourself and child. I feel this works and allows children and parents to feel more settled / secure about leaving their child.
