In this role I was responsible for all nursery duties including researching age-appropriate local activates, products, packing, cooking and laundry. Within this role my knowledge and experience in security was essential in order to keep the family safe and away from paparazzi enabling me to work within an extensive team of security and expand my own knowledge and practice in this area. This role is very special as it allowed me to pass on knowledge advice and tips to a single working first time mum and help guide her and her extended family into next developmental phases of her daughter’s life.
