About me:
Returning full time to Nannying in September 2021. I have had the pleasure of working for two lovely families. Throughly enjoyed caring for twins, who had just turned two years old and a two year old about to become a big brother. Over the two years, we have had some amazing adventures, and with the introduction of a new arrival, creating a lovely community for the children.
Covid year - I worked as a Nanny/Carer for 11 year old twins, nonverbal, who are on the Autistic Spectrum. As I was working with the boys, it made me realise I didn't want to return to leisure, and I left my job in April 2021 to continue working with the twins. They are now attending secondary school.
VALUES
- Teaching and encouraging children to be independent.
- Develop their communication, including their range of language and ways in which to communicate with others.
HOW I WORK
I am extremely organised and tidy, so you won't need to worry about routines or planning day to day. I will plan activities which are fun and educational, this will include a lot of outdoor activities in all weather. With a nanny network, your children will be able to learn social skills with others and build friendships along the way.

Using pictures and examples of the children’s work to get an understanding of every child’s ability and where they are in the EYFS program was something I did on a day to day bases. I encouraged the parents to take their folder home, especially the parents who didn’t get to interact with us because of work commitments. I worked hard at developing relationships with the parents as I know that having a good relationship means that the child will receive the best care for them as you have a good understanding of their background and areas they need support in.

My Qualifications
Education
Alton College 2010 - 2012
BTEC National Diploma in Childcare Learning and Development – 3 Distinctions
BTEC Award in Paediatric First Aid Basic 0-8years – PASSED
Over this two year course I worked with children from 0 to 8 years old, I gained my experience by working in a range of different child care environments. While I was at each placement I would implement activities which related to the six areas of development, personal social and emotional, communication, language and literacy, problem solving, reasoning and numeracy, knowledge and understanding of the world, physical and creative. I had to change and adapt activities to ensure that they were age and stage appropriate for the children and babies I worked with. Being in a setting and working with different people I was able to understand the requirements needed and to gain a better understanding of the importance of safeguarding children, protecting and caring for them. While being at each setting I was assessed on my attitude, attendance, interaction with the children and the suitability of the activities I planned.
