My Summary
About Me
I am a polite, warm, naturing and reliable nanny ,experience working with children and babies of all ages means that I'm also very skilled at building a strong rapport with children to help them settle well.
I am a mother with children I have experience with new born babies and willing to look after them at your house
i am 47 years old and love children. I am highly organised, flexible and have good communications skills and judgement. I am comfortable and confident working with newborns and toddlers and older children providing excellent support to a family. caring, calm and in control - as well as being fun of course!
I can work as a sole charge nanny or in a nanny share role and I am also happy to work alongside parent weaning, toilet training or establishing routines. I am passionate about working with young children and providing them with the stimulation, fun and loving care they need to thrive.
I believe that children need the reassurance of a structured routine for meals and naps but they also need to have a variety of opportunities and experiences and they need an environment where they are supported to follow their own interests and learn through play. I place a strong emphasis on outdoor learning and the value of visiting parks, farms, children's centres and museums and socialising with other children.
I have experience working with children with special educational needs and I will always aim to work with parents to cater to the individual needs of each child.
I have a current DBS, trained in First Aid, safe guarding, child neglect along with over 20 year's childcare experience,
I have supported families with children with additional needs, in different environments promoting a fun, caring, and safe environment to support children with their learning and trying to meet their diverse needs.
and i have worked with adults with learning difficulties. I have been a nanny for 3 children under 5 and have looked after a child who is 1 years old over night and during the day.
In addition, I have worked with children and young adults on a one to one, with a variety of learning disabilities such as autism, ADHD challenging behavior after i have looked after your child i will do a daily report
so you can see what your child has done and eaten though out the time with me. I believe children should have consistency routines and boundaries for their development.

Sam is a very professional nanny. She was available to look after my one year old at short notice. Arrived earlier than the start time and interacted very well with baby. Gave advice as I am a first time mum and I feel reassured by her confidence and knowledge.I would use Sam again and recommend her to anyone that needs babysitting as she knows what she is doing. Thank you Sam!

Thank you it was a pleasure to have you know where I am if you need me again
Today was my first time leaving my son with a babysitter, I was very nervous but Sam made me feel so at ease!
Sam gave me a very thorough report on his day and how he had been.
When it was time for Sam to go home, my son got so upset and wanted her to stay which shows me how much fun he had.
Thank you for being so caring, making me feel at ease and answering all of my questions and even coming out of your way to Great barr!
Very happy with your service so thank you x

Thank you darling he was a little darling. I loved him and liked to sit close to me, which I liked
Sam has been very professional and helpful. I was quite skeptical at first due to having bad experiences in the past, however Sam made me feel at ease. Sam has been my regular babysitter for the past 6 months and i will continue to book her.

This is my first time asking someone to look after my children while I work.
I’ve just come off maternity leave and have had to deal with the massive anxiety of leaving my children alone and the pandemic doesn’t make this any easier.
We met Sam about a month ago for the first time.
She was really helpful and came out all the way to meet us at our home and brought along references and the required checks.
From the start, she was professional and kind and showed a keen insight into the children’s behaviors and needs.
For some background, we are a Pakistani family and are pretty traditional.
I was worried that it would be hard for Sam and my children too as everything between us is different. But Sam proved herself up to the task, showing love and understanding and taking the time again and again to improve on childcare (helping me pick out toys and water beakers for the little one). She quickly picked up on our traditional foods and did her best to adapt to feeding my baby (a huge concern for me as I did not want my daughter to fall out of routine). She always came on time and did her best to stay as long as she could. She was polite and always kept me updated. I also really valued that she was upfront and always spoke her mind.
She did drop offs and pick ups and kept my children safe.
Although I made it clear from the start that housework was not part of her job and I was happy to clear up when I got home, I always found her do all that she could to help me in my home ( I work long hours and it was always a treat to come home and find the dishes done)
I highly recommend Sam! And can’t thank her enough for all the help she has given me and my family!

Hi thanks you for a really nice review let me know if you ever need any baby sitting so you can go out as a couple
As a first time mum I was apprehensive to leave my son with anyone but Sam put me at ease and was fantastic with our son. He was teething and under weather but she kept us up to date and looked after him. We will be using Sam more regularly as she has made this process stress free and our son is in safe hands!

To start, Sam is a lovely woman with a passion for looking after children, she has my daughter on weekends overnight. She is trustworthy, stimulates my child very well through playy and activities. I recommend her for your childcare needs, she's made me comfortable and assured ; that my child has the best time with her whilst I work.
