Hello! My name is Bethany and I am 27.

I have been a nanny for 2 years. I do not hold any childcare qualifications however I do have paediatric first aid training. I have an Enhanced DBS Certificate. I have been a teacher and teaching assistant to all ages from 0-17 in the UK and abroad. All of my careers have involved working with children and young adults. I am passionate about childcare and tutoring, specifically modern foreign languages. I can speak French and Spanish and I am happy to teach your children whilst babysitting.

I have worked as an after school live out nanny to a 4 year old girl. This role involved pick ups from school. I have worked abroad as an au-pair and I have worked as a nursery nurse assistant in the UK and Spain. I have also worked as an English Language Teacher in Spain for children aged 3-17.

Bethany is my sister.
I have a nearly ten year old boy who Beth has helped me raise into and incredibly polite and creative young man.
From day one of bringing him home Beth changed more nappies than me, bottle fed so I could rest, helped bathe him, took care of him while I did house chores or shopping.
As he has grown Beth has regularly asked to take him out and he always come back an extremely happy child with an awfully long story about his day. She is amazing at keeping an educational focus throughout any form of adventure. Just a trip to the farm ... and he's learnt about predators and why certain animals eat different types of food, carnivores and herbivores, that an onomatopoeia is a word that sounds like it is.
She was what felt like a second parent for the first three years of lukas' life and when I moved into my own home has remained s positive role model in my son's life. She is incredible at keeping calm and remaining positive in an impossible situation.
Beth is extremely passionate about children and helping with their needs, she will always motivate them to have their own independence and use their knowledge first before stepping in. Beth's always been a very nurturing and compassionate person and I don't believe my son would be the lovely person he is without her input.

Communication
Bethany is great. She looked after my 4 and 1 year old boys and is a dream. She is the first nanny we've ever had so we were a bit nervous but she's been a delight. She always keeps them entertained with inventive activities and also thinks about their learning and development and encourages them appropriately. She is easy going but disciplines them when she needs to, she has the patience of a saint. I feel completely confident in her abilities and would happily reccomend her to anyone, I'm just sorry we couldn't keep her forever! Nothing bad to say about her at all, she really is the best.
