My Experience
I have worked in childcare for over 20 years and still love it. I used to be a Senior Nursery Nurse for a private nusery and then i moved on to be a nanny and i have worked for 6 wonderful families who i still keep in touch with. First family had twins and i was with them for 3 and half years. Cooked basic meals, followed routine like bath and bed and took them from a range of after school activities, Swimming, music lessons, Art, local playdates as well as zoos, farms, museums and local Libraries and second family had 3 children, 3 year old and twins 5months when i started and i was with them for 2 and half years. Administering medication, Liaising with pharmacy, Lots of outings and creative home activities, play dates, play groups and classes and also helped mum where needed and followed a great routine as well as potty training, cooking healthy meals from scratch and went on 2 holidays with the family to Corfu and Devon.
The third family I worked for was a three day a week position for 1 little boy. We enjoyed going to playgroups, parks, libraries and exploring messy activities at home in the morning. I would make batch meals all cooked from fresh and feed and clean him then play or read stories. Settle him for an afternoon nap, change and head out for an afternoon of play either at home or locally to clubs, libraries or parks.
My forth family I worked for was on a babysitting basis as and when needed during the day. A two year old and a four month old baby. I am in contact with all my families I have worked for :)

Sam is an amazing nanny! I would go so far as to say she is the best nanny you could ever work with. If we had not moved out of London we would absolutely still be employing her. We miss her terribly.
She came to look after our daughter when she was 14 months old. She is super creative, fun-loving and imaginative, traits which are particularly desirable at the moment when a lot of children’s facilities are unavailable. She has a seemingly boundless energy for looking after little children.
One of the reasons we rate her so highly is that you can tell she is fully invested in not only supporting and encouraging your child’s development, but also makes sure that they have the most fun possible every day. She and our daughter formed a strong bond almost immediately.
I trusted her judgement implicitly as she has so much experience with young children over many years, both as a private nanny and also in a nursery setting.
We also got on really well as a family and we loved having her around the house. She is easy going, flexible and super helpful and will chip in if she sees little things that need doing that will help out around the house.
She does everything that you would expect from a really brilliant nanny like cooking varied and delicious meals, keeping the nursery, kid’s bedroom and play area tidy, and arranging playdates and all sorts of fun things and classes in the local area and at home as well.
And she really takes the initiative with everything, so you can just relax as a parent knowing that your child is in the best possible hands and having a wonderful time.
We can’t recommend her highly enough! Any family will be lucky to have her.

Sam came into our family and made everything better, easier and more enjoyable. Sam arrived when I had a new born suffering with reflux and a active toddler boy who needed attention. Her tireless energy, care, warmth, experience and fun made her a pleasure to be around and our children adored her.
Sam is a self-starter, always looking for things to do with children, able to cook healthy meals, keep a home tidy, hygiene conscious and good communicator.
We miss her and would still have her in our lives had we not moved from London.
