My Summary
Nanny Jane Services
About Me
My name is Jane, and I have lived in Saxmundham and the surrounding area since birth. I have been a senior creche worker for Suffolk County Council, I was working with them for over 10 years. I was also a nanny/mothers help with 2 families, where I was assisting the mothers with various tasks and was a key holder for both. I have had the pleasure of being a private nanny for a lovely household with 3 children who were nearly 5, nearly 3 and 15 months. I had been with the family for 3 and a half years and have seen the children flourish day by day. I have also been a private nanny to 2 other families, one with 3 boys and one with a girl and a boy, and 3 separate sets of twins. My duties have varied according to the families and their requirements. I aim to be flexible to suit the family, this has included night nannying, sleep training/wedding crèche and weaning off dummies. One of the children had a skin condition, which needed constant attention, adhering to medical advice aswell as that of parents.

I have recently undertaken specialised training for my grandson, who has a very rare condition.

Many thanks for looking @ my profile :)
My Experience
I have been working with children for 40+ years. The childrens ages have ranged from birth to the age of 15, though mainly to the age of 5, as they approach reception age.
I have looked after children privately and within the playgroup setting where I acquired my Level 3 qualification in childcare. I have cared for children of varying abilities. One specific area has been speech and language development and another assisting with walking.
Children thrive on being rewarded for positive behaviour, and I promote this method. Encouraging children to develop their own mind and having the option to choose is also paramount.
My goal is to offer a loving and caring environment in which the children can develop at their own pace and flourish.
I work with the parents/carers to provide the best quality of care by adhering to established routines and requests - the welfare of the child is always at the very heart, the central core-the reason for working with children.
The older children may have homework or projects to do for school and I am willing to assist as much as I can.
I have references and little notes that are either from the parents-or the children themselves.
I am willing to stay overnight, begin earlier and finish later-please give as much notice as possible. Any of this can be pre agreed-rates may vary.
I have tried to cover as much as possible here to give you information into my work ethic

We used Jane recently as a wedding nanny for an evening she was absolutely brilliant.
Communication during the run up was clear, timely, and she asked so many questions to get to understand all of the little ones likes and dislikes, any special requirements etc. Despite not having met Jane we felt we knew her, and that she was well prepared.
On the day Jane was kind and caring, and even found time to clean the kitchen in the house we were staying! I would have no hesitation in using Jane again, or in recommending her services.

Thank you so much Hannah, very much appreciated 💕
The children were all settled and apart from going upstairs to check several times, there was little else to do, so it's a pleasure to tidy up and pass the time 😀
Jane is very organised, communicates well, is a very good timekeeper and extremely caring. Little Albie was extremely well looked after and we were all extremely reassured while going out to a family wedding celebration. She did a lovely interactive bathtime, milk before bed and lots of cuddles. Regular checks on a fast asleep Albie during the evening added to reassurance. We would highly recomment Jane.

Thank you so much Jane.
Sorry for the delay in replying, it's been very hectic with our little Enzo 💕
Albie is a gorgeous little boy 😍
Nanny Jane looked after my 4.5 month old while I was working at Snape Maltings. Great communication in advance, lots of caring questions asked, and thoughtful, reassuring answers to my questions. I was nervous booking someone via website reviews but my mind was put at ease immediately and I am wholeheartedly recommend. Jane turned up at our airbnb with a bag of toys and lots of songs. My LO had the best time. Thank you, so much Jane.

Thank you Amanda. It was a joy looking after your little girl.
Wishing you all the best 🥰
Jane was lovely! My 14month old spent a couple of hours while we had date night and it went so smoothly, this was the first time we had left her with someone who wasn’t family and overall because of Jane’s calm and professional nature it went really well. Would definitely recommend her ! Xxx

Thank you, very much appreciated.
She's a gorgeous little girl. 😍
During our stay in the area for work, we were fortunate to have Jane's exceptional care for our two energetic boys, aged 13 months and 3 years old. Jane's wonderful creativity and affection for children shone through as she effortlessly engaged our little ones. Despite not having our usual assortment of toys on hand, Jane came prepared with an array of age-appropriate activities that kept the boys entertained! Her patience and attentiveness created a nurturing environment where our boys felt safe to explore and express themselves freely. We're immensely grateful for the peace of mind she brought to us.

Thank you Kathryn, very much appreciated. Its a pleasure caring for your children 💕
We couldn’t have been happier with Jane. She put us at ease straight away and connected with our two year old son instantly. She’s exactly what you would hope to find in a nanny, so much so that we have passed on her details to where we were staying (Wilderness Reserve) to suggest they recommend her to future guests.
Thank you Nanny Jane! If we are ever in the area again we will be in touch.

Jane babysat for our one year old for the evening of a wedding, in the wedding venue accommodation. Despite my hope that my daughter would sleep through the evening, she didn’t, but Jane took the very best care of her and sang / rocked / calmed her as needed. Jane was super communicative and didn’t mind my frequent messages checking all was ok, and at my request was really good at keeping me updated. It’s the first time we have used a ‘stranger’ to babysit but Jane was wonderful and I had no concerns whatsoever leaving her in charge. I am only sorry that we live 3 hours away and therefore can’t use Jane for childcare on a regular basis!

We were a bit nervous leaving our little boy with someone new whilst we went out. Jane put us at ease immediately by her professionalism, took him off to play/ sing and read books - he took to her straight away and was smiling and laughing. She kept us updated all night (which is what we wanted) and sent a summary at the end of the night. Thank you Jane, you are a true professional and amazing at what you do

Nanny Jane saved our day! Another sitter ghosted us and at the last minute she was available and made our son’s day and evening wonderful. Warm, kind and gracious with children and adults — we are traveling but wish we could take her home with us!

Nanny Jane x
Right from my first email, Jane was professional, reassuring and kind. We needed a one off event nanny for our two boys (1 year old and 4 year old) and she made us feel totally at ease. Her communication was exemplary; we started sorting out the details and she asked lots of questions about them and their likes and dislikes, asked for their routine, red books, safety measures in the house and allergies/medical needs and even offered to bring some toys and books for them to enjoy. She was flexible to slight changes in the timings that were needed a few days before the event.
On the day she was punctual, super friendly and the boys warmed to her immediately. I knew straight away that we would be able to enjoy the wedding we were going to without concern for them. Without prompting, Jane messaged me to let me know how they were getting on, sent a few pictures and let me know when everyone was asleep. We could totally switch off thanks to her care and attention.
The next morning we received a long and detailed Nanny Jane adventure diary text message filled with all the activities they got up to during their afternoon and evening together which was such a sweet extra that really went above and beyond.
I will definitely use Jane again when we need to and would recommend her to anyone else looking for a very special person to take care of their little ones.
