About Me


I have 15 years solid child care experience as a sole charge with all ages of children. I am passionate and full of pride with what I do and take all responsibilities seriously. I am fun, loving, and outgoing and plan great days and trips out for children to enjoy and be stimulated. I encourage positive behaviour, independence and road safety.
I understand the physical and emotional demands of working with children and have the perfect blend of patience and energy. I have excellent verbal, listening and written communication skills to effectively work with parents and on teaching children.
I am honest, polite and love children and enjoy their company immensely and find nothing is more rewarding then taking care of them. I believe in creating a positive, happy environment for all children, one in which they feel protected and can thrive.

A well-mannered, articulate and responsible nanny, with great deal of experience and interest in children and their development. A confident child carer who is emotionally mature and possess high energy levels and ability to develop close relationships with both children and families. Excellent communication skills and able to relate well with people at all levels and converse in a polite and courteous manner. Able to work to an excellent standard and considerable pressure whilst presenting a positive image to others.
Keen to find a challenging position within a responsible employer where I will be able to continue to increase my work experience and develop my abilities.
