My Summary
Ofsted Registered Nanny
About Me
Hello, I am Sinead, Living in Forest Row with my 4 year old son. Originally from Bournemouth, I have lived in many different places including London, Glastonbury, Bath and further away in Dublin, Netherlands, Colombia and most recently Scotland at a eco village called Findhorn.
I am happy to settle here in Forest Row as I believe the area to be great place to bring up children.
I am a professional artist, and also a qualified Transpersonal Art therapist and Ofsted Registered Nanny.
Happy out in nature, love trees and the sea and being creative in all the ways.
I am a naturally calm and patient person, like to live holistically and with the seasons.
Have a lot of experience designing courses, from children to adults, so would be happy to help out with home schooling.
My Experience
I have been working as child care provider in different forms since 2010.
My journey started at a small independent childminding setting where I started as a childminder assistant, my duties there included designing and creating the educational activities, and I went on to become a registered childminder and then to manage the setting whilst my boss had maternity leave.
I went on to work as a nanny for a baby and toddler for three years or so as I studied Art Therapy. I helped with homework and school holiday activities and well as school drop off and pick ups and for the baby I was with him in music groups and activities in the local area.
I did also spend some weekends at the house whilst the parents were away.
I also looked after three older boys in Dublin, aged 4.5 and 8. This was an after school role.
More recently I worked in a Steiner School in the Kindergarten, I have a good knowledge of Steiner education and theory as my Art Therapy training was based around Steiner's theory. I am happy to bring this in as much as the family wants, including wet-on-wet painting etc.
I have also been working in a main stream school with special needs and mental health teenagers.
Alongside this I run my own art courses and workshops online and in person.
Of course, having my own baby taught me many more things about babies that I never knew before having my own one ! And every day being his parent and watching him grow teaches me more than most books can.
I am happy to have a chat anytime and look forward to meeting you little ones.
