My Summary
Lovely Kiwi Nanny Available For Temp Work July/Aug
About Me
Hi, I'm a Kiwi nanny with over 24 years of experience working with children of all ages and a BA in Childhood and Youth Studies, available for temp work over the summer holidays before starting a new role. Currently available 17 July - 3 August, and 23 August - 31 August (with a little flexibility!). I'm flexible about days and times but would prefer a minimum of 3 hours.
I have 24 years experience in childcare and am super enthusiastic, hard-working, affectionate, and have brilliant references. I'm highly organised and have lots of experience with helping to run busy households with lots of children, busy schedules and diaries, and generally helping out with life admin. I also have plenty of experience with newborns and babies, toddlers, children with high functioning autism, and children with multiple allergies. One of the things I enjoy most is making a family feel supported - whether that be with a new addition to the family or keeping older children busy during long school holidays. I am also mum to an 8 year old girl which has really helped deepen my knowledge!
I really enjoy spending time with children and consider myself lots of fun, and really loving. I'm kind and consistent and make them feel valued. The most satisfying feeling at the end of the day is the one that comes with knowing everyone is happy, fed and bathed,everything is in order and we've all had a fun day! I'm skilled at finding out the answers to children's tricky questions, making them laugh, or keeping them updated on the latest rugby world cup happenings while they were at school. I love finding fun activities and places to go to keep everyone busy and happy. My cooking gets consistently rave reviews too!
In my free time I love baking and reading and travelling when possible. I also volunteer with Little Village baby bank supporting families, and the local WI (it's pretty modern these days!).
If you'd like chat more please don't hesitate to get in touch!

I have used Rowan for occasional childcare a number of times since the birth of my little girl. Our daughters were born very close together and I met her through a mother’s group.
I have always been delighted with Rowan, she is amazing with my daughter and so lovely to deal with as a parent. Her own daughter is such a sweet little girl and they always play nicely together. My child regularly requests to be minded by Rowan and it is clear how much she enjoys being looked after by her.
