My Summary
About Me
I have always had a passion to be a teacher or work with children. I am proud I kept this passion and have now worked with children for over 10 years in various environments.
When looking after someone else's child/ children I understand it is their most precious thing (human) in the world. This is what had made me so observant, reliable and a good communicator. I make sure the children in my care are given the space to explore, be curious and take manageable risks. I am there to answer questions, extend learning, listen, have fun and most of all make them laugh till their cheeks hurt. I like to see myself as the cool adventurous aunt.
I want to start a nannying career to become part of a child's family. I prodomantely have worked in nursery settings, where expierences can be missed as your are confined in a building. I love the idea to follow children's individual interests. 'Wow you like Buses! Shall we buy a bus ticket today and see where we can go? I wonder what what we come across on the way.' With this attitude children learn more and feel special.

We hired Vicki after another nanny asked us to wait 3 weeks for her to start, then told us after 3 days that she had taken another job. We emphasised multiple times that we did not want a repeat of this experience, which we found traumatic not only due to our wasted time, costs, and annual leave used, but also the insincerity/purposely misleading demeanour. We asked that she carefully consider and only accept the job if she was going to follow through with it. She repeatedly reassured us that she was reliable and very eager to take the job. She told us her reasons for leaving the nursery setting were because she wanted to get back to actually caring for children rather than administrative tasks including excessive paperwork, and because her commute was too long. Two weeks after she finalised her contract with us (and before she was due to begin), she rang to tell us she had taken a job as a manager at a nursery in London. Given that we live walking distance from her, it seems that neither of the reasons she gave were true. Presumably she won't be looking for nannying positions again, but I would certainly be wary of her motivations and commitment, and would caution against believing her words or even a signed contract.
