About Me

I’m a professional Nanny, fully trained to Level 3 Diploma in home based child care. I’m in my 50’s...more mature in years....I am registered with Nanny agencies (Harmony at Home) and gained Nanny roles through them who can verify my professionalism and references.

I invest time in your little one, recognising & supporting strengths and development….learning is always through play, I support children at their level of learning and development.

It’s important I communicate with parents regularly to agree development goals for their little one…next steps to support learning.

I am fully Early Years trained for age range 0-5 years. I support the three main areas of learning communication, physical development, social development (expressing feelings, confidence).
I am looking for a family who require childcare approx no more than 15 miles from Hook, I have cared for children living in Odiham, North Warnborough, Fleet, Hook, Rotherwick, Riseley, Winchester and I know these areas well.

I’m calm, organised, fun, reliable, trustworthy and honest. I look for similar qualities in families I work with. I very much get stuck right in from day one…I’m hard working, I will invest time in your little one, keeping them happy & safe and support learning through play.

I’m a fun and enthusiastic Nanny, I enjoy to take children outdoors to park, walks, picnics, wellies & puddles, local library, play groups.

From October 2021 I cared for RAF family in Odiham…4 boys aged 11 months to 12 years. I am looking for a family who need 1-5 days childcare. I have twins experience working with a family for 4 years in N. Warnborough.

During lockdown I worked with several families, supporting children with home schooling, children’s aged range from Year R to Year 6.

I have heaps of knowledge and experience working with parents and children. I’m paediatric first aid trained, I hold enhanced DBS and subscribed to the update service. I am trained and knowledgeable in Food safety and I encourage healthy eating. I hold clean driving license for over 30 years. My car is safe and reliable.

Child safety is highly important, I risk assess outings/settings/play parks for child safety. I can offer support and recommendations to ensure child’s house is safe and child friendly.

I update my knowledge on Safeguarding children and child safety regularly.

I can provide references immediately should they be required from 2 of my existing families.

I headed pre-school group for 7 years at my local church in Petersfield. I organised the smooth running of the group, resources, staffing, toys and equipment. In addition I organised activities for school children in holidays - film day morning with treats and drinks. I arranged professionals to guide parents where help was needed.

My Availability

I worked for over 20 years in the Industrial Gas industry in Chineham, Basingstoke and my 2 small children were cared for by a childminder. I therefore fully understand and appreciate the flexibility of childcare that is sometimes needed for working parents. I also appreciate concerns of leaving a child in another persons care and the importance that your child is being looked after by a loving, caring adult who will ensure your child is happy and feels secure.

I am willing to be flexible on hours of care and we can discuss your needs for you and your child when we meet.
