About Me

I'm a level 3 qualified, paediatric first aid trained child carer with a passion for watching children learn, grow and develop. I have over 10 years of full-time experience as a nanny in NW London and before that, three years as a Kindergarten teacher at a prep-school for an international school in Finland.

I’m available for evening and weekend babysitting jobs.
I’ve recently relocated back home to Chesterfield after 12 years in London to be closer to my family.

I lived in Finland for four years and by doing so gained good Finnish skills and I have a basic level of Swedish.

In my free time I enjoy live music and regularly attend concerts and festivals with friends both here and abroad.

My Experience

Most recent experience is as follows:

Currently working in a pre-school 4 days per week in Chesterfield.

Part time nanny in NW7, London, taking my own son with me to look after a little girl who was 9 months old at the beginning of the job.

I was responsible for all of her nursery duties (cooking, laundry etc) as well as setting termly class schedules based on her interests and stages of development, creating and maintaining her social life through playdates and fostering her English language skills which wasn’t her mother tongue.
I helped prep her for the 4+ assessment to get in to a private primary school which she passed and the job only ended due to my maternity leave starting.
