About Me

I have been working with children in UK with an age range of six months to eleven years for 13 years and I have found working with children very rewarding as I learn from them just as much as they have learned from me. The children I have been responsible for have had different personalities, requiring me to understand and adapt to the different demands they have posed.
My previous roles have helped me develop personally and I have learned how to help and guide each child through the environment they are living in, meeting their interests, developing their abilities and guiding them towards their own personal achievements at school and at home.
Every week I try to have meetings with the parents to talk about the time I have spent with the children, whether we had any disagreements and any issues arising. We work together to find solutions for things such as discipline and weekly routines. The parents often ask my opinions for advice on certain decisions such as the children's educational progress, discipline and after school activities. I try my hardest to ensure that the parents are satisfied with my working methods.
I find it easy to work with children as I am very patient and calm, reliable and caring.
I have experience in dealing with more than two children at the same time, or leading a group of children (e.g. organising parties, playdates etc).
I am currently working as a EYFS practitioner at a local nursery but I am looking for a more flexible job.
I also have a 2 year old son who attends the same nursery I work for 3 days a week. So depending on the days I would need to bring him into work with me if possible.

Brown-Saker Family.
Full-Time Nanny.
January 2014 - October 2016

I have been looking after two boys aged three and four years old for over a year and have become very attached to them, especially the younger one as I started looking after him when he was only ten months old. We have spent a long time together doing activities together, taking him to classes, playgroups etc. while his brother was at the nursery.
During half term and holidays I usually plan day out trips and take the boys to central London, local farms, playdates or picnics at the park to keep us all busy and entertained. I cook healthy meals from scratch everyday and make sure their bedrooms and toys are tidy at the end of the day.
So far we have enjoyed each other's company and I love looking after them. (4 days per week).
