My Summary
About Me
My name is Lois, I’m a 31 year old cat mum who lives in Crayford. I’m a dedicated, nurturing nanny with over a decade of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. Skilled in fostering safe, loving environments that promote developmental milestones, learning, and creativity. First Aid certified, with expertise in a variety of childcare roles. Known for patience, adaptability, and building strong, trusting relationships with families. I’m passionate about creating a positive impact in children’s lives and understand that it takes a village to raise children! There is no harder decision for a family than deciding who should be part of the village who raises their children, so if you would like further references and DBS checks I am happy to provide these.
