Nanny in London: Waltham Forest (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
Hi there, I'm Charlotte!
I’ve worked in childcare for over ten years, across nannying, nursery and school settings.
I grew up in North West London, where I built a strong foundation in childcare in my local area. I then moved to Brighton for a few years, where I worked as a Nanny and a Nursery Assistant. My partner and I moved to Exmouth, Devon, before the pandemic to spend time with my parents. I worked with some lovely young families there, and it felt particularly special to help during such a strange and fractured time. Since then, I’ve happily settled in Leyton and worked on the other side of the nanny world, as a matchmaker for a childcare tech company, bringing families and nannies together. I learned a lot in the role, but found myself missing the day-to-day joy of working directly with children, so I've returned to what I love most.
My most recent role was also one of my most treasured nanny roles - caring for a little girl in Hackney from the age of six months until she turned three. Being part of those early years and watching her grow into her own little person was such a privilege, and I’m still close with the family today.
I am also a new mum to a wonderful seven-month-old little boy and am looking to return to work from next March. I appreciate that what I'm looking for isn't a traditional arrangement, but I would love to hear from families who might be open to me bringing my son along while caring for their child. Of course, I completely understand that this setup won't be right for every family. For the right family, though, it can offer the best of both worlds: the comfort and familiarity of nanny care, alongside the opportunity for little ones to play, learn and socialise together in a small, nurturing environment. My priority would always be ensuring that both children feel secure, engaged and well cared for.
I am hoping to continue my education part-time later this year. I intend to focus on childhood development and mental health, as well as business studies, in the hope that one day I can create a space where families can play, learn and spend time together in a calm and welcoming environment.
In my spare time, I enjoy writing fiction (that rarely sees the light of day!), reading, arts and crafts, and long walks.
I truly adore working with children and find it endlessly rewarding to support them as they grow, learn and gain confidence in the world around them.
My Experience
I have worked in childcare in one way or another for over ten years.
Most recently, I cared for a little girl in Hackney from six months to three years old, building a lovely relationship with both her and her family. Our days were filled with baby groups, trips to parks and playgrounds, arts and crafts, stories, music and plenty of tumbling about. I supported her through many milestones during those early years, including weaning and potty training, and loved watching her grow from a baby into the funny, confident little person she is today. I'm still in touch with the family and look back on our time together very fondly.
Before this, after leaving my role at a Childcare tech company, I took care of a lovely nine month old boy in Walthamstow two days a week.
From September 2020, I cared for an eleven month-old little boy. I loved watching and helping him through developmental milestones such as walking and talking (and everything in between!) I took great joy in developing activities and games that could help with his motor skills, concentration and creativity, whilst still ensuring he enjoyed himself.
After moving to Devon and pre-pandemic, I cared for two lovely babies in Topsham. It was great being able to take advantage of the beautiful countryside right on their doorsteps, so they could enjoy long walks and play outside.
Before this, I enjoyed the chance to work as a nursery assistant. The nursery had children aged five months to 4.5 years. In the nursery, I had to be adaptable, often working with several age groups in one day, supporting other members of staff in their teaching or leading a group or 1:1 activities myself.
Before moving to Brighton, I worked as a nanny for a family for four years. We grew very close, and it was a privilege to watch the child grow and develop over that time. My days were spent supporting her routines, learning and homework, planning activities and outings, preparing meals, and creating a happy, secure environment where she could thrive.
Initially, I worked as a learning support assistant in a primary school, providing SEN support for the children.
Alongside the above positions, I was also doing babysitting, overnight sitting, holiday nannying, etc. for various local families, with ages ranging from six months to eleven years.
