My Summary
About Me
I'm 29 years old, British, and an Ofsted registered Montessori nanny.
I am very compassionate, and my childcare style is underpinned by Montessori values and intentional/conscious parenting. This means positive discipline and firm boundaries, all the while allowing emotional expression, autonomy, and independence. I'm hoping to find a family that is aligned with this approach.
I practice yoga, meditate, and I am a qualified Jikiden Reiki practitioner. I believe in holistic health. I love to support children with practicing mindfulness, as it is really useful for regulation and the development of emotional intelligence.
I am well travelled, and have been to Spain, Peru, Bolivia, China, Hong Kong, Cambodia, Thailand, Nigeria, France, USA, & Australia. I love learning new cultures and expanding my worldview. As a kid, I played football and badminton. These days, movement continues to keep me happy through dance, yoga, and rollerskating. I also enjoy reading, and being social. I do not drink, smoke, or take drugs.
I love cooking, and baking, even better if I can do these with children. I am loosely vegetarian, so very familiar with cooking healthy meals from scratch. I can speak very basic Spanish, and an even more basic Mandarin! (enough to gauge infant/toddler needs for example)
- Paediatric First Aid/CPR training ?
- Childcare qualifications ?
- Enhanced DBS certificate registered on the update service ?
- Full, clean driving licence. Confident driver ?
- Excellent checkable references, immediately contactable ?
Look forward to hearing from you!
My Experience
My CV details 7+ years of professional childcare experience as a foreign teacher in a Shanghai bilingual kindergarten, alongside subsequent nannying experience within a single parent family of 6 (children's ages: 9, 11, 12, 14 & 16), and with 3 year old twins who were 5.5 years old when I stopped working with them.
I also have a lot of personal experience working with children under 3 years old from supporting my sister with her 3 children who are now 7, 2, and 7.5 months old. I understand holistic developmental milestones, and how to support them through activities and play. I can confidently work with babies, understanding the specific nursery duties (milk preparation, sterilisation, weaning, play, bath time, sleep training, routines, etc.)
I am happy to share my CV.
