About Me

My name is Samantha,
(Self employed Ofsted Registered Nanny)
I have been given titles by past children I cared for and currently caring for, either "Aunty Sumayyah" or "Aunty Sam" which shows that I am welcomed and loved within the family :) In both fields as a Nanny and Childminder, I have been told by past and present families, that I am "Very loving with abundance of patience but firm", being a mother of five, managing five different lots of personalites and characters requires a lot of patience.
I am positive outdoorsy nanny. I am also a cyclist, jogger, walker and a swimmer.
I love outdoor education so my normal routine is to visit local parks or driving to parks further afield. Taking long slow walks in the local area, noticing nature, discussing and paying attention to what we see. Within our walks I would incorporate Maths and Science.

I am very patient with children and very loving ,as I know it's a huge responsibility looking after someone else's child, therefore I always consider and treat them far better than my own. I am always on their level, listening patiently to what they have to say.
My passion when working with children is my love of books, therefore it is a must to pick up a book primarily to enhance their vocabulary also the many virtues of reading daily can achieve for children. I introduce new words whilst in conversation to expand from what is usually said
(big : humongous, tiny : miniscule) Its a delight to see them try to pronounce the words and use it in the right context, young babies are also encouraged to look at picture books to enhance their development.

My approach has always to provide a child with a sense of security, happiness and a feeling of positive achievement mindset.
I am polite and well mannered and very much emotionally aware. I have heaps of empathy for others and very soft hearted.

My Experience

I have over 24 years of childcare experience by raising 5 children of my own, age range from 31, 29, 26, 25 and a 12 year old girl.
For 10 years I was a childminder and decided to become a nanny in 2022.
