My Summary
About Me
Reliable, versatile nanny. Hello, I'm Tess - a childcare professional with experience in nannying, teaching performing arts, coaching children's sports (netball and swimming), and providing academic tutoring. Please note that my experience is best suited to nannying children ages 3+.
I am empathetic and sensitive to the emotional wellbeing of children as much as the physical safekeeping. I bring a calm, gentle, and encouraging approach as a nanny. I am outdoorsy and active, a hands-on nanny who likes to get stuck in with activities. With a portfolio career, including as a keen writer and musician, I have the flexibility to accomodate a variety of schedules.
Let’s chat about how I can support your family’s needs!
My Experience
I had the pleasure of working as a nanny with an amazing family for two years from September 2019 to August 2021, and returning again for Summer 2023. When schools went into lockdown, I happily took on more hours to home-school through significant periods of Reception/EYFS and Year 1. I also worked as a nanny for the Autumn term in 2021 for a family with two school-age children when I moved to West Sussex. I then moved to Somerset for two years, and recently moved back to my native West Hertfordshire where I intend to stay. I'm available for nannying within a 10 mile commute.
I've worked as a Teacher for youth theatre companies like Stagecoach and Rare Productions - such as teaching singing in groups and one-to-one with ages 8-21, teaching drama, dance and singing to children as young as 4, and tutoring older children and teenagers for their LAMDA exams. I also have experience tutoring students for their GCSEs and A Levels, with a 100% pass rate. This includes tutoring for English GCSE exams for students whose first language is not English.
On the sports side, I've coached competitive swimmers aged 6 to 14, covering technique in all four strokes and helping them develop their skills and confidence in the water. I’ve also been the Lead Coach of netball clubs in Herts, Beds and Bucks for ages 3 to 11. I enjoy sports, from skiing in winter to playing rounders with friends in summer.

My Fees
- Nannying from £18.00 per hour (gross)
Five years ago, my hourly rate as a nanny was £15/hr. Today, simply adjusting for inflation, that rate is now £18/hr (this doesn’t even factor in the significant experience I’ve gained since then).
If you feel we’d be a good fit, I’d love to discuss how I can support your family’s childcare needs with an arrangement which works for both of us.
