My Summary
About Me
CURRENTLY not available :)
Hello! My name is Von I am thrilled to introduce myself as a dedicated and experienced nanny located in the beautiful area of Blackheath, South East London. With over a decade of experience working with children, I bring a wealth of knowledge, enthusiasm, and a nurturing spirit to every family I work with.
For the past ten years, I have had the privilege of working with children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. Throughout these years, I have worked with various families, each with unique needs and preferences, which has equipped me with a versatile skill set and a deep understanding of the different stages of child development.
One of the highlights of my career was running my own baby class, where I created a safe and stimulating environment for infants and their parents. This experience honed my skills in caring for babies, understanding their needs, and fostering their early development. It also taught me the importance of communication and trust between parents and caregivers, which is the foundation of a successful nanny-parent relationship. My experience running a baby class has given me extensive hands-on experience with infants. I understand the importance of creating a nurturing and secure environment for babies to thrive.
One of my standout qualities as a nanny is my ability to prepare a wide variety of healthy and tasty meals. I believe that good nutrition is essential for a child's growth and development, and I take pride in creating meals that are both nutritious and enjoyable. From homemade baby food to balanced meals for older children, I ensure that every dish is tailored to meet dietary needs and preferences while introducing new flavors and ingredients to expand their palates.
Being active and outdoorsy is a core part of my lifestyle, and I love sharing this with the children I care for. I firmly believe that physical activity and fresh air are crucial for a child's well-being. Whether it's a trip to the local park, a nature walk, or a fun outdoor game, I always find ways to incorporate physical activity into our daily routine.
My approach to nannying is centered on creating a loving, safe, and stimulating environment where children can grow, learn, and thrive. I see myself not just as a caregiver but as a partner in the child's development, working closely with parents to ensure consistency and continuity in care.
I believe in the importance of open communication and collaboration with parents. Every family is unique, and I take the time to understand each family's values, routines, and expectations. This allows me to tailor my care to meet their specific needs and provide the best possible support.
My Experience
I've previously worked with the local social care sector with children and young people between 5 - 12 yr old for seven years and most recently been a nanny for three years. I have some experience with younger years (0-3) weaning, adhering to the EYFS.
My Qualifications
I'm currently working with an agency so have a full DBS as well as first aid training. I've worked professionally in a youth provision with children under 8 for several years so this included ongoing CPD training such as child protection and safeguarding. This also included children with additional needs.
My Availability
My current role is coming to an end as the family is moving, so looking for new families I can help out. Please get in touch for availability, times, hours and start dates are helpful - many thanks! :)

Von has been brilliant with my little boy Jack , she was able to help me at short notice and Jack warmed to her immediately. She is brilliant with babies, confident and playful- I would highly recommend Von and we will definitely be asking for her help again.
