My Experience
I have been a nanny since I was 18 years old, after finishing 1 year at college attending a business administration course. Then I worked at Chelmsford College in the Administration Department, where I heard of an opportunity to work with children. For two years I did part time childcare assisting a registered childminder, and then moved to fulltime child minding.
I started nannying full time in parents' houses in 1998. My first family was with 2 boys (2 and 6). I continued with this family until 2003, by which time the children were older and the family did not require me.
