My Summary

My Experience

As a nursery assistant, my primary responsibilities included supervising children during breakfast, snack, lunch, nap, and playtime. I assisted the nursery staff in managing daily activities, which encompassed feeding babies and toddlers, changing nappies, helping children settle for naps, and accompanying them on outings. In addition, I supported children's learning by conducting one-to-one sessions, tailoring activities to their individual needs.

I consistently worked to create a caring and stimulating environment that encouraged learning through play, while prioritising each child’s safety and well-being, ensuring they felt secure and content in my care.

Another key responsibility was completing documentation, including recording each child’s food intake at lunch, sleep times, and duration of rest. I also documented any minor accidents and promptly reported them to my manager. As a nursery assistant, I ensured that classrooms were clean and organised after breakfast and lunch, and playtime, with all items returned to their designated places to maintain a safe and orderly environment.

I gained additional experience by working in reception and primary school settings, where my responsibilities included organizing activities to foster interest in learning, preparing the classroom for lessons, and providing one-on-one support to children with additional needs. I assisted the teacher in managing classroom behavior, led classes, and supported small groups to enhance learning outcomes.

I also have experience in babysitting, regularly caring for a family member’s child and working with other families who required childcare support. My responsibilities included feeding, changing nappies, putting the child down for naps, and engaging them with developmental toys such as wooden alphabet trains, building blocks, farm animals, and puppets, and many more. I focused on creating a fun, supportive environment that encouraged learning and development through play.

I have experience working with numerous families in both long- and short-term capacities, including babysitting for infants under three months old, with the youngest being just four weeks old.

I have worked as a nanny for numerous families; however, these roles concluded as the children transitioned to school.

- I am currently employed as a long-term nanny for a family, a position I have held for the past 2.5 years. My schedule includes school pick-up and after-school care on Thursdays and Fridays (after 4 pm), as well as occasional Saturdays and Sundays.

- I also currently provide long term school pick-up and after school care for another family on these days. That is Mon - Wed (after 4pm).

- I am also on long-term arrangement with another family every Tuesday through Thursday morning. But this will change for next year Jan 2025 as the child will be starting nursery. That’s why I’m looking for another family for next year 2025.
