My Summary
About Me
Hi there, I have just finished working with my lovely nanny family and I am now looking for another lovely family to work for. I am looking for part time work, 2 to 4 days a week. I have been AWARDED CERTIFICATE OF EXCELLENCE by Childcare.co.uk.
I love looking after babies and children of all ages. I am a Qualified British Nanny and am fluent in Italian. I can also speak conversational French. I am kind, caring, warm, reliable, nurturing, trustworthy and an excellent communicator. I have been valued by parents for my warmth, gentleness, professionalism and dedication. I was an actress for many years as well as being a therapeutic pregnancy massage therapist and have experience being a nanny for over 17 years looking after from newborn to 8 years of age. I especially have a wealth of experience looking after newborns and young babies. I also have experience looking after twins. I love walks in the park, reading, the arts and travelling. I absolutely love being a nanny/babysitter and find it very rewarding being part of a little ones life, nurturing and teaching them as they grow, reaching each developmental milestone. I believe children thrive when they feel loved, happy and secure and this is my core focus as well as helping them develop through play and other early learning activities. I will always give 100% and more. Ideally I am looking for a long term role but am happy to consider short term positions.

Lauretta recently looked after my 7months old daughter during a few weeks while I returned to full time work (from home and the office) and I am very grateful for the support she provided. She was always punctual and reliable, and very gentle and sweet with my girl. Lauretta also looked into children’s classes and play activities, and took her out regularly. My daughter seemed to always be happy to see Lauretta in the mornings, and got quite attached, so I would gladly recommend her.

Lauretta has been looking after my 6 month old baby on a part-time basis, and has been an absolute pleasure to work with! As a first time mother, I was nervous about leaving my daughter in the care of someone else. Lauretta's gentle style and desire to learn about how we do things at home quickly put me at ease, and my daughter loves her one-on-one time with her. She is an asset to any family, and is punctual, reliable and conscientious. She also takes both the practical and academic side of her job seriously -- not only does she have on-the-job experience, she is also keen to continually enhance her knowledge of childcare through continuing education programs. I have no reservations about recommending her to other families seeking a nanny.

Overall
Lauretta worked for two months since last November, when we needed short
notice and ad-hoc childcare for our 11 month old son. I had heard wonderful words about Lauretta
from her previous employers and when we met her we also felt that she was a great fit for looking
after our young son. Our baby boy liked her immediately and he always had a wonderful time with her.
Lauretta is kind, caring, fun and gentle with babies and she is able to calm our baby in all sorts of
situations. Our son has a great time with her whether playing on the floor at home or going to the
park. She is also very punctual and flexible when we need last-minute or short notice care, which is
greatly appreciated. Our son is in full time nursery now but we are still very much in touch with Lauretta and she babysits our son whenever we need extra childcare.

I'm delighted to provide this reference for Lauretta. She is warm, friendly, and reliable. She is always punctual and provides a fun, safe, and secure environment for our 1 year old son. He is always smiling with her: it's clear that he enjoys her company, whether they're playing outside in the park or in the lounge.
