My Summary
About Me
In my heart, I carry a deep well of kindness and compassion that guides my every interaction, especially when caring for children. My natural bubbly personality adds a sprinkle of joy to our days together, creating a space where laughter and smiles are abundant.
Patience is something I've learned to treasure, understanding that each child has their own pace and needs. I pride myself on being able to tune into these needs intuitively, providing comfort and reassurance when it's needed most. Alongside this warmth, I take my role seriously, always ensuring reliability, professionalism, and trustworthiness in my care. Building strong relationships with both children and parents is not just important to me, it's essential, creating a supportive network where everyone feels valued and understood. With this blend of heart and dedication, I strive to make each day a little brighter for the families I have the privilege to work with.
My Experience
Hello, I’m Christie! I’m so excited to share that I’ll be opening The Square Nursery School on Holland Park Avenue in January 2025, where we’ll be creating a nurturing, joyful space for little ones to learn and grow. Alongside my work at the nursery, I’ll also be available for nannying during half terms starting from January 2025.
My journey in nurturing young minds began in a vibrant Montessori-based nursery school nestled in the heart of Holland Park. Over the course of 4 fulfilling years, I immersed myself in the world of early learning, embracing the Montessori philosophy to foster independence, curiosity, and a love for learning in the children under my care.
Throughout my tenure, I honed my skills in creating engaging and enriching environments that catered to each child's unique needs and learning style. From facilitating hands-on learning experiences to nurturing social and emotional development, I found immense joy in guiding children through their formative years.
In addition to my practical experience, I've invested in my professional development, obtaining a Level 3 diploma in Children's Learning and Development (Early Years Educator) with Distinction. Complemented by certifications in first aid (including Level 3 Paediatric First Aid Course and Anaphylaxis and Epipen Training) and Safeguarding Children, I am equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to ensure the safety and well-being of the children entrusted to my care.
Beyond the classroom, I'm known for my vibrant creativity, often incorporating activities such as cooking and arts and crafts into my childcare routines. I believe in the power of hands-on experiences to spark imagination and curiosity in young minds, and I'm always eager to share my passion for creativity with the children I care for.
Driven by compassion, energy, and a deep commitment to providing the highest quality care, I'm excited to embark on this new chapter as a dedicated nanny. With a wealth of experience and a heart full of enthusiasm, I look forward to bringing joy, learning, and laughter to your family's childcare journey.
