My Summary

My Experience

With over 25 years of diverse experience across the education sector, I have been in the early years sector for the last 15 years as a bilingual (English-Spanish) teacher and deputy manager in a community nursery setting with an Early Years Diploma qualification. I am extending my expertise as a live-out nanny and can offer Spanish language tutoring if required.

My extensive early years and childcare experience includes working in primary schools, family homes as a part-time nanny, as well as a deputy manager in an Anglo-Spanish nursery setting.

I am passionate and dedicated to early years provision and safeguarding to support children between 6 months to 5 years old. My certifications are well-aligned with current UK childcare standards, include paediatric first aid, safeguarding, and an enhanced DBS from my last employer, forging a professional and secure realm of care for the children entrusted to me.

My extensive experience and understanding of the standards also support parents with transitioning their child from early years to the primary sector.

Given my education-focused background, I am also committed to continuous learning, staying updated on childcare best practices through professional development, and I am proud to provide excellent references from past employers upon request.

Alongside my core responsibilities, I am willing to perform light duties related to the children's needs such as managing bedding, food preparation, clothing, and tidying up toys.
