About Me

Hi, Mummy's and Daddy''s, and Grandparents and Guardians.

My name is Brigitte.

Hi to all.

I, up until 6 weeks ago, was looking after 22 month old twins, I had been with the family since last July.

Mum has decided to put her babies in nursery.

They would be quite happy to give me a verbal reference, and/ or, a written one, also.

I am currently working 1 day a weekbwith a family in Shenley.
I would consider working in and around that area for the perfect job, as it's a little further for me to travel from my new address.

I am looking for a nanny position for 1 - 2 days a week, Mondays, and or Fridays, approx between 4- 6 hours each day. Between the hours of 8-4 or 9-5
The hours can be flexible for the right family. ( No later than 5pm
Have an evening caring/ companion job with an elderly lady.

I am a N.N.E.B qualified, and Ofsted Registered with over 35 years experience in all manner of childcare settings, most predominantly private nannying. I have many years experience of looking after, predominantly, babies and toddlers.

I am flexible.

I am looking for a family that I can give support too, for hopefully, long term. Perhaps you're pulling your hair out on a Sunday evening and would relish the idea of a little help in the week. I can be available Mondays, and Fridays. Dint mind one day a week.

Family dynamics have changed since we were hit with covid, and it's made the way we work as a family unit and as a nation more compromising. Professionals working in offices in their own homes while their children play in close proximity, is literally a whole new ball game, it's not easy, but that's where I can help!

I have no concerns if one or both parents are working from home. Many babies and young children have been brought up at the start, and during covid. They can be quite clingy to mummy or daddy. It does help I find if young children have their parent or parents close by, they are more likely to settle with someone new and are less likely to be interupted with an unfamiliar face.

Whichever way you plan on introducing a nanny or new face to the home, the easier it will be if there's interaction between parents and nanny.



Perhaps you are contemplating a return to the office, or have found yourself juggling working from home, with having to find reliable childcare. You may just need a few hours for some, 'you' time, or perhaps you just want to get your work diary in some sort of order, so you can look forward to having a relaxing and stress free weekend.

I can help!!

I have a DBS, Certificate. ( needs updating) Have First Aid Training, but need to do a refresher course, and am Ofsted Registered. So I can accept childcare vouchers. Also fully vaccinated against Covid, including boostered.

I have just moved to Harefield, and am looking for a family within a 1-5 mile radius. I have 3 grown up children. Two son's and a daughter.
My daughter is a Nursery Nurse, who currently works in a Private Nursery setting.
I was thrilled when she wanted to follow in my footsteps.

Let me tell you about my nanny history.

I currently only work on a Wednesday looking after a 13 mth old little boy, I have been his sole charge nanny since April this year. 2023

I have just secured myself another nanny position with a fifteen month old on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
So looking to work a Monday or a Friday. These days nay be flexible.

For the past 18 months or so I was looking after twins of 20 months, there's also
a 6 year old daughter, which I had limited time with as she gets one to one with a childminder,/ tutor in school holidays. My primary focus was with the twins.

Mum has decided to put the babies into nursery, as that fits in netter with her work schedule.

Prior to that I was Nanny to two little boys, a 1 and 3 year old. Sadly that only lasted a short time, 3 months, as the family had been hit hard with the cost of living and could no longer afford me, so are calling upon family and nursery and working from home
for there continuing childcare. .

Prior to that I had been looking after a bubbly, chatty 20 month old, full time, who I'd been looking after since he was a few months old.

Mum enrolled him in a nursery, and my hours had been reduced to accommodate this. She can no longer offer me anywhere near the hours I was working, so I needed to find another family.


Previously I was working for a single parent looking after her 3 year old twins on and off during covid, but now they have started full time school.

To keep me in her loop, I have been carer/companion to her grandmother a few flexi hours a week. I have been doing this since october 2020

I consider myself a very kind, warm, sincere, down to earth, dedicated nanny.

I am naturally very nurturing and have a calm nature about me, which I think children sense,

I am mature, responsible, trustworthy and completely reliable and I just adore working with young children.

I am active, I like to nourish children's minds by taking them out to different places, the library, farms, soft play areas, and the obvious children's favourite choice, any time of the year, the park.

I love Garden Centres, they're not as boring as they sound!!
Squires in stanmore is great. indoors they have the small animals and fish. Outside the garden.
Water features, large fish, the plants, and lots of buckets. Christmas time is magical there too, literally it's all decked out for the season.

Kids naturally have a sense of humour, though they don't always show it. I have a knack of getting
a smile and giggle from, mostly any child going through a grumpy phase. ( just ask a child not to smile and they instinctively will.) Never fails!!

Fun and laughter is all part and parcel of how I communicate with children.

I am a big believer in children learning through play, whilst having a lot of fun at the same time.

I don't believe in fancy expensive plastic toys, children get as much fun out of a blanket as a flying carpet, a wooden spoon with a pan, and the ever versatile boxes as cars or rockets. Anything can be improvised, the world is their oyster.

I have a sense of humour, children have to have fun in their day, I act silly, and really do engage on their level.

My sense of humour isn't only limited to the children, I like to make the Mum's and Dad's laugh too. Makes for a very nourishing, happy environment.

I would consider myself a good cook,. I love making a variety of foods curries, stir fry, shepherds pie ,casseroles, my only drawback is that I usually tend to make enough for mum and dad too. I can pretty much make something from nothing, after all I do run my own home.

I am firm but fair, and expect the parents and myself to work together to be a united team to help their children grow.
I believe in discipline, good manners and encouragement, that combined with care and love has to be a recipe for success.

I am a driver with my own car and have insurance to transport children.

I am totally committed to looking after children. put simply I couldn't see myself doing anything else.

I am dedicated, reliable, punctual and am happy to fit in with any family. Very comfortable with pets too.

My availability currently, is Mondays and Fridays.


Pease feel free to message me.

Thank you
