My Summary

My Experience

My most recent nanny job was working part-time for a family with three children aged 1, 5 and 8 and my last employment before that was working in a nursery with children ages 3 months to 5 years old.

I worked with all children - babies, toddlers and pre-school. My responsibilities were to plan activities which work towards the Early Years Foundation Stage and to be a key person and help hone their development. To communicate effectively with parents/carers about their children's progress and follow all policies and procedures to ensure safety of all children.

My last job before moving to Bristol was working with David Lloyds as a Kids Team Member, and my responsibilities were to provide fun and engaging activities for children from the ages of 0-14 and above; Running and organising Holiday Club and Parties; Providing children and families with a safe, secure and welcoming space; Helping children build positive self-esteem, increase feelings of physical and mental wellbeing and improving their fitness levels; Following the health and safety guidelines and ensuring the safety of children at all times in our classes and in the club under our supervision.

I have worked as part time nanny for four young children, a 6-month-old baby girl, 2, 4, and 6 year old boy. My responsibilities were to make breakfast and feed baby a bottle in the morning, get the boys ready for school, safely take them to school; After school drop off, go to soft play or other play groups with 2-year-old and baby; Make lunch; Changing nappies; Play with the children, read to and with them, provide engaging activities; Collect boys from school; Snack time and Play.

I have worked as a full time nanny for two boys aged two and five years old, my duration of employment was from November 2017 till July 2018.
My responsibilities were to: Prepare Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner; Help children with brushing their teeth, putting there shoes and coats on; Pack a bag for the day with spare clothes, nappies, wipes, snacks and toys; Take or drop off and pick up the children from nursery/school/playgroups/activities/appointments; Take the children on fun days out to the beach, museum, and park; Light housework – make the children’s beds, wash and dry their clothes, make sure their rooms are tidy and wash any dishes used; Bath or Shower the children; get them ready for bed and prepare a bottle for the youngest; Play and read before bedtime.

Before my full time nanny position i worked as a part time nanny for two families, one family with a girl two years of age, and another family with two girls aged two and six. I have also and still do provide temporary care and babysitting services to other families with children from the ages of 6 months to 14 years old.

I have experience working as a Student Teacher Assistant at Birchgrove Primary School, Christ The King R C Primary School, and Courts Primary School.
Courts Primary School is a special school, therefore i have gained experience caring for young children with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties and my responsibilities in all schools were to interact well as part of a team with all members of staff as well as using my own initiative and ensuring that i stick to a strict set of rules and guidelines in a professional practice.

I really enjoy spending time and providing care for children of all ages and I would love the opporunity to help and be apart of your child/children's upbringing.

I have a Child Workforce DBS check registered with the update service and Chaperone DBS check.
