My Summary

My Experience

I have over 20 years childcare experience. I worked as a class teacher in primary schools for 5 years before moving onto nannying which I have been doing for the past 15 years. During this time I have been part of 5 families.

My most recent position started in October 2023 and has been split equally between two families who are friends. Initially I cared for one baby whilst mum covered her friends maternity, and then changed families once maternity had ended. This was sole charge, term time only and the babies were 4 months old. This job will end in April 2025 with the family moving out of London.

My position before this started in February 2020 when the youngest child had just turned a year old and her older sibling was 6. This position ended with the youngest starting school.

Before this job I looked after 2 children, starting when the first was 4 months old and later looking after his newborn sister as well. This position was again sole charge, term time only in Shepherds Bush staying with the family for over 3 years, ending when they required full time hours.

I also worked for a family in Chiswick for 8 years, starting when the children were 18 months and almost 4 years old, initially full time and again a sole charge position. I then went on to provide holiday care and after school pick ups as the children got older and I myself started a family of my own, a boy and girl, now aged 13 and 11.

I love getting out and about in the local area and have built up a great knowledge of things to do, places to go, groups and classes that are on offer for children of a variety of ages. Similarly time spent at home can involve painting, making cards, baking, making play dough, building models, reading stories, imaginative play, putting on shows, teddy bears picnics, playing board games, having play dates with friends, completing homework etc.

I am happy to carry out nursery duties, doing the children's washing and ironing and keeping areas used by the children clean and tidy, as well as planning and cooking a range of healthy and tasty food, involving the children where appropriate and filling up the freezer with home cooked meals.

I have experience of bottle feeding, weaning, potty training, introducing and/or following routines, settling at nursery and school and appreciate the importance of effective, thoughtful communication with parents regarding their child's/childrens progress, achievements, general day to day well being and activities we've been enjoying.

Excellent references and more detailed CV available.

Kind regards and best of luck in your childcare search.
