My Summary
About Me
With over seven years of experience as a teacher and a prior role as a nanny, I am confident in my ability to provide exceptional care and support for your children. My background in education, particularly as an Art and Mental Health Lead in schools, has equipped me with a wealth of knowledge and skills that I am eager to bring to this role.
During my teaching career, I have had the privilege of working extensively with children with Special Educational Needs (SEN). This experience has not only honed my ability to tailor activities and support to individual needs but also deepened my commitment to fostering an inclusive and nurturing environment for all children. My approach is child-centered, focusing on each child’s unique strengths and areas for growth.
I am particularly passionate about outdoor learning and ensuring children have ample opportunities to connect with nature. Living in Broadway, I have always valued the importance of the natural world in a child's development. I believe that experiences in nature can significantly enhance a child's creativity, well-being, and overall development. As a nanny, I would integrate outdoor activities into daily routines, encouraging exploration, play, and learning in the natural environment.
In my previous nanny role, I was responsible for the daily care of two young children, where I successfully created a safe, engaging, and educational environment. My duties included planning and leading creative activities, assisting with homework, preparing nutritious meals, and organizing outdoor excursions. My goal was always to create a balanced routine that combined fun, learning, and developmentally appropriate challenges.
I am eager to bring my diverse skills and genuine passion for childcare to your family. I am confident that my background in education, coupled with my dedication to nurturing a love for nature, would make me a valuable addition to your household. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my experience and approach align with your family’s needs.
Thank you for considering my application. I am excited about the possibility of contributing to your children’s growth and happiness.
