My Summary

My Experience

I began my Childcare journey back in 2016, working at a nursery, which gave me the realisation that working with children was the career path for me!

I thoroughly enjoy that every day is different, and being able to watch the children grow, and seeing the little twinkle within their eyes when they master a new skill, is a feeling like no other.

Whilst working at the nursery, I was able to care for babies from 5 months, until 4 years of age.

In 2018, I was offered a position nannying, for two, absolutely amazing children, which I cared for until they both began full time school. During those 4 years, I ensured the children had age appropriate stimulating activities to enjoy both inside the home, as well as outdoors. From science experiments, messy play activities, to nature walks (pond dipping, feeding the ducks, bug hunting), farm visits, soft play trips and woodland adventures searching for the Gruffalo, we were all excited for what the next day would bring!

In 2021 I was offered a position at a new nursery, which is incredible, and has enabled me to complete my level 3 Childcare qualification, which I can proudly say, I am now officially qualified!

Whilst working within the nursery setting, I have made lovely bonds with the children, and will truly miss seeing their achievements, and joining in their imaginative games, however, I do miss the freedom which nannying brings.

I believe children learn best through first hand experiences, and whilst we are zooming around on scooters, or feeding the ducks, we are also learning about the world around us. Learning about the seasons, or practicing our colours looking at the falling leaves, learning numbers counting the passing cars.

It really is true, “if you find a job you love, you’ll never have to work again”.
