About Me

I am a fun loving, kind, caring, warm bright bubbly person. I am dedicated to my work as I am passionate about working with children. I am a good cook and feel it’s important that children have fresh well balanced nutritional meals each day.

I am a driver and have a 7 seater car. I am covered with business insurance to take my charges in the car with me at all times. I am extremely flexible and am happy to work weekends.

I have worked with newborn babies, twins and multiple children of the same age.

I am a nanny with over 15 years experience of looking after children. I am a reliable, trustworthy, fun, loving and nurturing nanny looking for a new full time position.

The characteristics I like to bring out in children are honesty, kindness, courage and the ability to love and appreciate life and feel connected.

I am very musical. In the past I have enjoyed taking children to music classes - it develops confidence, coordination, language, attention spans and listening skills. It's an example of how I like to help children learn though fun and enjoyable activities.

In my personal life I enjoy socialising with friends, reading, bowling, going out for dinner and the cinema. I love playing the cornet in 3 local bands and have been playing for 25 years. I also sing with 2 choirs.

My Experience

I have had experience working within nursery settings as-well as nannying. I have extensive experience with newborn babies, twins and multiple children of the same age up to the age is 12. I also have experience with special needs. I have worked for many families which included high profile families.


Temp jobs

I was nannying for a family with a 3 week old baby and a 2 and half year old as well as night nannying for the baby on an adhoc basis. Duties have been to feed, change, arrange age appropriate activities, go on walks, ensure their safely at all times.

I have been helping a family out with there 8 month old twins, have been with them since September.
Duties have been to feed, change, arrange age appropriate activities, go on walks, ensure their safely at all times.

I have been helping a family with there 6 week old twins as a night nanny as-well as during the days. They are now 2 years old and I still help them occasionally over night and adhoc days and babysit for them when the parents go out of an evening.

I have recently been helping a few families with their twins. I helped a family with night nannying and some hours during the day for twins of 3 weeks old but they were both 6 weeks early so they were rather small and had reflux. The boys are now 3 months old. I still keep in regular touch with this family

One family had twins aged 3 and half month who I night nannied for and they are now almost 1. Another family I helped had 18 week old twins that were 10 weeks early and they are now just over 1.

I also helped a family who had twins aged 9 weeks but they were 6 weeks early so when I started they were only 3 weeks and had a lot of complications with tongue tied and eczema as-well as having an allergy to dairy. They are now over one and I still keep in touch with them.

Duties in all these positions were to wash and sterilise bottles, change nappies, bath the babies and dress them in appropriate clothes depending on the weather. Play and entertain the babies, and make sure they are safe and provide age appropriate activities at all times.

I looked after a little boy of 2 for a week as a hotel babysit and they asked me to continue babysitting for them as and when needed.

Fiona came to look after our 3 boys (7, 5, 2) for a week, while we were in between nannies.
We have had a nanny for 6.5 years and always the same person until this summer. I was interested to see how they would manage with someone different, and Fiona was fantastic.
She bonded very well and very quickly with all 3 boys. She especially did a great job with our 2yo... after an extended holiday our parenting has slipped a bit and Fiona for him (very nicely) back into a routine and off the dummy!
Coming into a new family, with a house and children you don't know is a big ask, and Fiona did it seamlessly. She took the initiative to arrange activities and days out, played games and kept them entertained. She was calm, in control, nicely firm and the kids (and we) loved having her around.
