Nannyzim

My Summary

My Experience

With 28 years of professional experience in private service, I offer a bespoke combination of newborn expertise and the developmental focus of a long-term career nanny.
My background offers a higher level of support than a standard nanny profile, thanks to my decades of experience as a Maternity Nurse. With experience supporting over 50 families, including those with premature infants and multiples, I am well-equipped for Rota and full-time nanny roles. I demonstrate strong technical expertise and physical endurance, consistently adhering to established routines and maintaining professional communication with both colleagues and families to ensure seamless continuity of care. My approach promotes emotional security and developmental consistency for children across varied schedules. I am highly skilled at managing 24/7 responsibilities, implementing gentle sleep schedules, and upholding the highest standards of discretion in fast-paced households.
While my technical skills are rooted in the newborn stage, my true passion lies in long-term partnerships with children aged 5 and under to allow for longevity in a role. In my most recent role, I served as a live-in, sole-charge nanny for three years, guiding a child from eight months through the preschool transition. I pride myself on providing a "calm centre" for the children in my care, ensuring they remain secure and routine focused. In my current role, I have provided stability through significant family transitions and international travel.
My childcare philosophy is holistic, rooted in respect and independence, and I believe in fostering a child's natural instincts through kindness, consistency, and positive discipline. I am RIE® Nurturing Nanny trained and am currently finalising my Montessori in the Home certification and updating my early years qualification.
My background in professional culinary management ensures that I maintain the highest standards of food safety and kitchen hygiene. Having a personal nut allergy myself, I possess a heightened, firsthand vigilance regarding ingredient sourcing and the prevention of cross-contamination. I am deeply committed to ensuring the household remains a strictly safe environment for those with similar dietary restrictions.
I am seeking a long-term commitment where I can grow with a family for years to come. I bring deep knowledge, empathy, and a touch of humour to help families navigate the joys and challenges of new parenthood and the exciting journey of raising a child.
To ensure a professional conclusion to my current role, I will be completing a final international travel assignment with my current family from December 28th to January 9th. I am available for interviews immediately and am prepared to commence a full-time schedule upon my return.
Thank you for your time and for considering my application.


I look forward to working with you.
