My Summary

My Experience

October 2023 - Present

• Nanny Tuesday-Thursday 8-5

I’m currently looking after a lovely little boy aged 2.5. Our days are fun filled and normally consist of a toddler group or soft play in the morning followed by the park, library or play dates in the afternoon.
We also have lots of fun on days out at the farm, zoo, woods etc

May 2021 - October 2023

• Nanny Monday-Wednesday 9-6, Thursday 9-2.30

I absolutely loved every second of looking after these twin boys. Duties involved planning and taking the boys to lots of fun activities/groups. Putting them down for a nap and giving them both lunch and dinner.
I adore this family. Me and the boys had and will continue to have such a great bond. We had the most amount of fun together. It was so special teaching them how to crawl, walk, talk, helping build their confidence and social skills. Potty/toilet training was a breeze and I’m very proud of the little boys they have become. I had the best couple of years with them. This position ended due to the boys starting preschool and no longer needing a full time nanny. I will miss them so much and hope to stay in touch and visit the family as much as possible.

I started this job in 2017 looking after a 1 year old little girl in Summertown. We quickly became the best of friends and I loved watching her go from a shy little girl to a confident little lady :)
Duties were to look after her 3 mornings a week sole charge.
Our mornings varied but we spent a lot of time outside; at the park, feeding the ducks etc.
I introduced her to pottery painting, music and toddler groups.
