My Summary

My Experience

I have years worth of experience as a babysitter, looking after various ages, ranging from 3 days old to 12 years old in addition to multiple children. I have experience of working with high profile clients, ensuring discretion and confidentiality.

Through various roles as a private nanny, I have taken sole charge of managing the morning routine, school drop off, school pick up and food preparation, plus facilitating additional activities.

Working closely with children, teenagers and young adults for an extended period of time has equipped me the knowledge and confidence to demonstrate basic understanding of child development and learning in addition to the ability to relate well to children and adults.

My most recent role (July 2024) includes working as a Night Nanny for a newborn, with a high profile client. I took sole charge of the night time routine which consists of feeding, changing, providing comfort and general care, allowing for mother to rest and recover.

Due to my former role as a Learning Support Assistant (SEP 2020), taking place in a school setting, I have developed a general understanding of the National Curriculum and other basic learning programmes.

From September- December 2018, I took on the full time role of Nanny, with sole charge of managing the morning routine, school drop off, school pick up, food preparation, plus additional activities.

I also have experience in childcare, as an Early Years Support Worker, working in a nursery from March 2018. I assisted with the care of children from 0-4 years.
This included the supervision of activities, such as messy play, arts & crafts, cooking, reading and outdoor/physical pursuits and the planning ,observation and record keeping that inform parents and carers about their child’s day. Additional responsibilities included preparing and serving suitable meals, snacks and drinks as well as teaching general life skills, such as basic hygiene and manners.

Over the summer of 2017, I undertook two different stints in regards to childcare. The first required looking after two children, giving their parents the option to enjoy an occasional evening out. The second involved working closely with a family, engaging with their two children whilst their parents completed busy schedules at work. Responsibilities included taking the children to school in addition to picking them up at the end of the day, preparing their dinner, and helping with homework in addition to other activities.

I have had extensive experience with babies, ranging from personal to professional. Duties include nappy changes, feeding both milk and solids, facilitating sleep routine and general interaction.

The additional benefit of studying a psychology degree, where developmental study was heavily involved has helped greatly.

I look forward to meeting you and your families !
