About Me

Hello,
I am a Level 3 qualified Maternity Practitioner with over 8 years’ experience as a private household nanny/maternity nanny. I have a Level 4 Advanced Diploma in Baby Care, a Level 3 Diploma in Child Care, an EYFS Teaching Level 3 Diploma, Level 2 certificate in Baby Sleeping and my paediatric first aid certificate, enhanced DBS check and full clean driver’s license. I also am a Level 2 Fitness Instructor, Level 3 Nutritional Practitioner and a Level 3 Cheerleading and Gymnastics Coach (13 years’ experience teaching ages 3-15).

I love my job and I am very passionate about assisting babies, toddlers and children in their development into bright, happy people while making sure they are always safe and nurtured.

In over 8 years of childcare I have amassed a vast amount of experience due to, at times, holding numerous part time nannying positions (with up to 4 families) at once, as well as continuing my longest role for just over 3 years (since the child was 11 months, until she was 4), this has allowed me to learn about every stage of the early years in practice, not just theory. I have cared for new-borns up to 13 year olds, and every age and stage in between birth and 7 years. I have worked in households with multiple members of staff as well as in teams alongside other nannies. My positions have included live in, live out, shared care, sole charge, rota nannying, as well as proxy parenting.

Personally, I pride myself on being a reliable, enthusiastic, friendly and trustworthy person who can naturally integrate into new families as their helping hands. I consider myself firm but fair, capable of adapting to whatever ‘parenting’ style a family wants, able to follow instructions as well as my own initiative. Outside my job my passions are travelling, fitness and socialising. I am a relatively strong swimmer, a Competent skier, a non-smoker and vegan.

My jobs in recent years have included caring for an 20 month old boy (since he was born) and his older brothers (3 and 11) too - this role finished at the end of September 2020 therefore during quarantine I had to home-school the then 5 year old while looking after the toddler. Before this I had a 16 month old girl since she was 8 weeks old. Then, I worked in a rota role in London as a SEN nanny for twin 7 year olds. Following this I looked after girls aged 18 months and 3 years for two years. At this time, I also did ad hoc over night proxy parenting of a newborn. This leads up to the present where I have worked with a little girl (12 months old at the start of the role) full time for a year, and have part time hours with twin 5 month old girls.

In my roles I have helped all the babies and children I’ve looked after achieve milestones (sitting, weaning, crawling, walking, talking, potty training and toilet training) and assisted in the creation of routines and schedules (sleep training, eating schedule, activities) and helped them in the mastering of manners and etiquette as they have gotten older, whilst helping educationally with their development (counting, speech, writing, reading, homework). In addition I complete nanny duties (laundry, tidying up after the children, cooking the child’s meals for the week, preparing and baking snacks).
I like to be out and about, active and creative with the children I care for.

Currently I am looking for a local (Warwickshire) role on a Friday. Also open to event babysitting/ overnights/ one off care.

Kind regards,
Paige
