My most recent job was working as a Primary Teaching Assistant and my most recent nanny position before that was working part-time for a family with three children aged 1, 5 and 8 and my last employment before that was working in a nursery with children ages 3 months to 5 years old.

My responsibilities were to make breakfast and feed baby a bottle in the morning, get the boys ready for school, safely take them to school; After school drop off, go to soft play or other play groups with 2-year-old and baby; Make lunch; Changing nappies; Play with the children, read to and with them, provide engaging activities; Collect boys from school; Snack time and Play.

Before my full time nanny position i worked as a part time nanny for two families, one family with a girl two years of age, and another family with two girls aged two and six. I have also and still do provide temporary care and babysitting services to other families with children from the ages of 6 months to 14 years old.

I have experience working as a Student Teacher Assistant at Birchgrove Primary School, Christ The King R C Primary School, and Courts Primary School.
Courts Primary School is a special school, therefore i have gained experience caring for young children with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties and my responsibilities in all schools were to interact well as part of a team with all members of staff as well as using my own initiative and ensuring that i stick to a strict set of rules and guidelines in a professional practice.

I really enjoy spending time and providing care for children of all ages and I would love the opporunity to help and be apart of your child/children's upbringing.
