My Summary
Trusted Nurturer: Expert Nanny Bringing Joy And Safety To Your Home!
About Me
Your Child's Happiness and Safety Are My Top Priorities!
Hello! I'm Gladys Obe, a wife and mother of four children, a dedicated and experienced nanny with a passion for nurturing young minds and creating joyful, enriching environments for children. I am caring, patient, and empathetic, with extensive experience in looking after children from birth to teens. I deeply understand child attachments and know how to build positive child/adult relationships, creating safe spaces for children to thrive.
Why Choose Me?
Unmatched Expertise:
With over 17 years of experience working with children and families, I bring a wealth of knowledge from roles as a Nursery Teacher, Manny Support Worker for families with severe needs, and caregiver for children with mental health issues due to traumatic environments.
Qualifications:
My qualifications include an up-to-date DBS check, safeguarding certification, Level 3 Child Care Certificate, and first aid certification.
Comprehensive Experience:
I have vast experience with babies, toddlers, and teens. Over the last 18 years, I’ve served as an Early Years Practitioner, Nursery Manager, Room Leader, and Nanny/Manny, working full-time and part-time for numerous families. Now, I am a full-time Nanny as the CEO of Vertex Aspire Services (VAS-Nanny), offering high-standard, child-led, and heartfelt childcare to families across the UK.
Sensitive and Heartfelt Approach:
I approach my work with a sensitive and heartfelt demeanor—I'm as soft as wool. I advocate for the expression of emotions, particularly for men and children. I help children understand their feelings and deal with what I call "big emotions." Being a mother has significantly influenced my career choice and understanding of children.
Trauma-Informed Care:
My approach is trauma-informed, ensuring that each child feels secure and understood. I believe in nurturing little minds and helping families find balance.
VAS-Nanny Services:
Temp and Ad Hoc Nannying
Babysitting
Travel Care
Maternity Care
Parent Support
I offer these services all over the UK, ensuring that every child receives the best possible care.
Safeguarding and Settling Steps:
Safeguarding is paramount at VAS-Nanny. All Zoom calls are recorded for security.
Our consultation process includes:
Zoom Call with Parents: Initial meeting to discuss needs and expectations.
Zoom Call with Children: Storytime or child-led interview depending on age.
Playdate in Familiar Settings: Meeting at a local park or coffee shop.
Home Playdate: Familiarizing the child with my presence at home.
Settling Period: Small or big settling in, depending on the child's needs.
Only after ensuring that we are all aligned and the child feels comfortable will VAS-Nanny be booked for childcare.
Personalized and Child-Led Approach:
The settling period, up to two weeks, ensures a smooth transition. It’s designed to bridge the gap between home care and having a new caregiver, fostering attachment and confidence. Giving children a choice is fundamental to our ethos.
