About Me

I am 35 from a small village, Headley, Hampshire. I started doing childcare 10 years ago and have worked with several families. I moved to Paris in 2017 and have lived and worked as a nanny since then with children ages 1-9 years. I have been with my most recent family for 5 years for two wonderful children. I have loved being a big part of their lives, enjoyed assisting them in learning English through conversation during indoor and outdoor games and activities, reading and music. Especially doing things they enjoy so they associate English with something positive to encourage them to keep learning. Additionally my tasks have included taking them to extra curricular activities on the metro and bus. Making them meals occasionally, bathing and also putting them to bed when I did longer hours in the evenings. My main attributes which I believe make me a good nanny are patience, adaptability, compassion, trustworthiness and reliability. I believe in a consistent positive atmosphere for children and the importance of building a child's confidence with compassion and positive reinforcement not only for their general wellbeing but to progress with their skills in English. I also believe in good communication with parents and I am very open minded of any feedback or personal preferences parents may have. I have 3 sisters back in England, 2 of each have their own children and I have loved being a part of their lives. In my spare time I enjoy keeping fit and healthy through running, seeing friends and family, seeing live music, reading and travelling.
