My Summary

My Experience

I like to think I’m a happy, positive person with a calm and caring personality. I am, punctual, tidy and organised in my own life and these are qualities I bring to my work.
I have 16 years experience overall in childcare, including Nurseries and schools, nannying and young godchildren.
I began my nannying journey 11 years ago for a family with a one year old boy and a girl starting reception, I am happy to say I have been with them ever since with them now being 12 and 14 and so independent. For a while I have split my week with them and a second family of 6, 10 and 14, I've also known them for a number of years and have watched them grow. My most recent experience is with a boy aged 2, we enjoyed park and library trips as well as travelling on buses and trains around the area.
During my time as a nanny my roles have altered slightly because of the age of children, parents working habits and family visiting therefor I am competent working as a sole charge nanny, within the family unit, able and happy to adapt to working alongside parents, who i now know very well.
Part of my duties currently include but are not limited to; collecting children from school and traveling to afterschool activities, preparing healthy snacks and meals with the suggestions and preperation help from the children, allowing choice. I find this encourages variety, and motivation to eat new and healthy things. i also batch cook.
I work alongside children while completing homework or school projects, offering assistance if needed but allowing room for their independence and ability to think for themselves, this also applies to younger children during play, giving support while allowing them to explore freely.
We get out as much as we can, especially during half term and any free time, we visit the local parks and activities frequently but take every opportunity to explore somewhere new further out of the area. We travel using public transport being sure to stay together at all times, safety and awareness outside and in new places is of utmost importance.
Being a naturally tidy person I am happy doing light nanny duties, including keeping play areas and children’s rooms tidy and organised, cleaning up after mealtimes and activites with children being encourages to help out too.

During my spare time I’m a keen hobby photographer and enjoy taking walks to new places, i enjoy socialing with friends finding downtime.
