My Summary
About Me
I'm an fun, confident, enthusiastic and trustworthy child carer.
I enjoy being creative, developing and influencing knowledge, building skills, growing the imagination and most importantly having fun! I've been working in childcare for 10 years.
I am happy to work with children of any age and ability, all of my previous families highly recommend me! I have 5 + years experience working with children with complex needs. Furthermore, I have worked with a number of families doing part time childcare and was also a live in nanny for a year for a family with 3 young girls.
For the past 5 years I have been a manager in health and social care, supporting adults with learning disabilities, mental health and complex health needs. However, I am keen to get back in to childcare as I felt I was happier within my previous childcare roles.
I have a way about me which means that I develop strong, positive relationships with children extremely fast. I strongly believe in positive behaviour support and have completed specialised training. I am a very approachable person and children find my presence enjoyable and comforting.
I have recently become a mother myself which has been an amazing and eye opening experience. I feel that this has strengthened my knowledge and understanding of children both emotionally and developmentally even more.
I love going on days out and spending lots of time outside. We will play in the garden, visit parks, farms, zoos and much more. We will use different tools, activities and games to incorporate learning experiences into having fun.
On Thursdays through to Sunday I have my daughter with me, so she would join me on any jobs. She is a fun, social and loving 2 and a half year old who dotes on babies and enjoys the company of older children
My Experience
I have years of experience working with young children and babies. This includes children with ASD, complex health and learning disabilities.
I have worked with numerous families to help with childcare for younger children and babies. This includes sole care for multiple children at one time. I have always had fantastic relationships with parents and they have all found me extremely trustworthy and reliable. I was a live in nanny for 1 year which finished in October 2015, I looked after 3 girls, a baby, a 3 year old and a 6 year old. I have looked after many children on a regular/part time basis. As well as child care I also help families with house work, school pick ups for the older children, pet care, cooking etc.
I have a full drivers license and my own car. I have competed the following training courses: first aid at work, basic life support, safeguarding, health and safety, positive behaviour support, communication, epilepsy and Buccal, sign along, autism specific training, medication administration, mental capacity training. I have valid advanced DBS and am currently working towards an NVQ 5 in health and social care.

Charlotte started being our nanny for my (at the time) 10 week old baby for 6months. Charlotte looked after my son like her own, I never once felt uneasy leaving him as I knew he was in the safest of hands. Charlotte would always take him out in the pushchair and as he got older, they would always visit the park, go to baby groups or meet up with other babies. Charlotte has always been very flexible if I was working late or had to go in last minute nothing was ever too much trouble for her. I now have a 6 week old daughter and Charlotte is back looking after her here and there. Charlottes daughter Darcie is the most gentle and loving little girl, her and my son play so nicely together and Darcie, if given the chance, would sit and cuddle my daughter all day - she’s besotted with her. Charlotte has become a good friend for my family and I would recommend her over and over again.

Charlotte has been looking after my 3 year old son and 2 year old daughter since October & I could not have asked for anyone better to have come into their lives. She has been very flexible, professional, kind and caring & my children absolutely adore her. Unfortunately due to me moving away 200 miles for the next year, we as a family have had to say goodbye however I recommend Charlotte very highly & it will be an absolute pleasure to reconnect when I return.I would hire Charlotte again in an instant.
Good luck for the future, you are a fantastic role model & I know Bradley and holly will miss you an awful lot.

My boys love Charlotte! She was great with the children, flexible, friendly and reliable. I'd recommend Charlotte in a heartbeat, she really connected with the children and did a great job keeping them entertained. We miss her very much X

Charlotte worked as our nanny last year for 10months. She very quickly made a great impression with us and our 3 girls aged 7,4 and 1 at the time. Charlotte is kind, caring, great fun and clearly loves her job. Our girls absolutely adored her and still talk about her. I have full confidence in her looking after our girls. She also helped with kids laundry, keeping their room tidy and cooking.
I have not hesitation in recommending her.
We were very sorry when she had to leave but that was just that we needed to reduce hours. We are still in touch and use Charlotte for babysitting.
