My Summary

My Experience

Started my childcare career aged 18 where I worked in a nursery near Wrexham. I attended college one evening a week where I gained my NVQ level 3 in early years care and education. It was at this nursery where I cared for 2 lovely little girls whose parents then asked me if I would work as childcare manager for their ski company in Italy. I jumped at the chance and did 9 ski season with them. I was responsible for the day to day running of the crèche where we cared for children from 10 weeks to 10 years old. Some weeks were like being a private nanny for a family on holiday whilst other weeks I would be organising up to 5 staff members and the logistics of ski school drop off and pick ups.
I was also lucky enough to be employed at a nursery near Oswestry during the summer where I’d help out when and where needed. After finishing ski seasons I then continued to work at the nursery 3 days per week where I took on the role as key worker for up to 9 children situated in the 2-3 years room planning and implementing individually focused activities and of course their daily needs.
The other 2 days of the week I nannied for a family in Shrewsbury caring for a 10 month old (when starting) adorable boy. We had lots of fun days out, forest school, park hall farm, national trust, swimming, yoga, the list goes on! He had 2 older sisters whom I’d sometimes collect from school, give them their evening meal and help with homework.
This role came to an end once he started full time school.
I then became full time nanny to a family near where I live whose eldest was 3 months old when I started, 2 years later their second child was born and 2.5 years after that their third. In this role I was responsible for everything imaginable (the list is extensive so will happily elaborate to anyone wanting to know more)
During my many years of childcare I’ve also done evening, weekend, holiday babysitting and have cared for multiple children at their home (and sometimes mine) whilst parents have holidayed abroad leaving me in complete sole charge.
