My Summary
About Me
Hi, my name is Ria I live in Torbay . I would describe myself as a caring, confident, energetic, dependable Nanny with 5+ years of experience in childcare, specializing in ages from 2-7 years.
I am very familiar with nannying, having grown up with a private nanny myself that lived with us whilist my parents had there own business.
Finding the right person to look after the most precious people in your life is very important.
My Experience
I worked as a part - time dancing teaching assistant for 2 years teaching ages 3 to 10.
I absolutely loved this job as I have danced all my life competing in competitions up and down the country. So I loved to be able to teach them different varieties of dance styles and new tricks.
I then went into working in a nursery teaching to learn and achieve more understanding of children . I worked here for short of 3 years in the pre school ready room.
After working in the nursery I knew childcare was my passion and a career I wanted, so this is when I started looking for my first Nanny family.
I have been with my current Nanny family for just short of 10 months with 3 beautiful children ageing from 3 - 7, working full time Monday - Friday 40 - 45 Hours a week, with some evening night stays when expected , I gained an extremely close bond with the children and created some amazing memories.
A typical day for me would intend of arriving at 8am getting the 2 oldest Children ready for school and taking them in to primary school for 9am.
Then arriving back at their family home I would start to get the youngest little boy ready aged 2 for the day and discuss where he would like to go, if we didn’t have his forest school or music class that day. Between 9:00 a.m. and 2p.m, our days were typically filled with activity or exploring, whether it was a planned adventure, a spontaneous outing, or simply enjoying the outdoors. On some days, we would pack a picnic, while on others, we might stop at a local café or restaurant for lunch during our travels. In addition to our fun days out we also used this time to take care of errands or any tasks the father needed us to handle, whether that involved picking up supplies, running to appointments, grocery shopping or assisting with household needs. This part of the day was dynamic and flexible and quality time spent together.
At 3 p.m., I would pick the girls up from school and either take them straight to their after-school clubs or help coordinate and supervise playdates. On other days, we would head straight home, where I’d prepare a quick afternoon snack, as they’re usually quite peckish after school. After snack time, they typically enjoy about an hour of play—most often outside in the garden on the trampoline, swings or we might go down to the beach to ride scooters and enjoy the fresh air.
About an hour before I’m scheduled to finish, I begin preparing for bath time. I bathe all three children so they’re clean, calm, and ready just in time for dinner which their father prepare’s and which usually marks the end of my working day.
I am passionate about creating a fun, engaging environment where children can learn through play, exploring and everyday experiences, anything from Walks along the beach, Zoo trips, Aquarium visits to soft play . Whilst focusing on teaching essential life skills such as good manners, empathy, independence, and responsibility in a natural and encouraging way, helping children grow into confident and respectful individuals.
