My Summary
About Me
Dear prospective Nanny Family,
My name is Sophie, and I am looking to bring my extensive experience to a welcoming family for a live-out position.
I have been a live-out nanny in Ealing and the surrounding areas for over 14 years. During this time, I have cared for children from infancy through to their teenage years, specialising in early years development (0–5 years). In my most recent sole-charge position, I worked 40 hours a week caring for two young boys (aged 2 years and 9 months). I have been fortunate to work with incredible families who have truly become like extended family to me. I am now looking to find another wonderful family to support over the coming years.
I am enthusiastic, fun, nurturing, and trustworthy. I pride myself on building deep, safe, and loving relationships that offer a stable environment for your children. Most importantly, I have a genuine love for my work. I enjoy planning fun, well-rounded days, bringing humour into everyday situations, and maintaining an upbeat outlook on life. After all, childhood is all about fun!
My Qualifications:
CACHE Level 3 Diploma in Children and Young People's Workforce
Level 4 Postnatal Maternity Nurse Certification
Colic and Reflux Specialist training
Valid Paediatric First Aid Certificate
Up-to-date DBS Check & Nanny Insurance
Ofsted Registered
I am very happy to forward my CV and references to interested families. I look forward to hearing from you!
Best wishes, Sophie.
My Experience
Having worked as a childcare professional for over 14 years, I have built a wealth of knowledge and experience. This spans both theoretical understanding—through my CACHE Level 3 qualification and continuous professional development (CPD)—and, most importantly, practical application across various settings, from nurseries and schools to private homes as a sole-charge nanny.
I am highly experienced in supporting extremely shy or attached children. I use a gentle, sensitive approach to help them grow in confidence, find their independence, and fully embrace both play and learning. Additionally, I am well-versed in guiding key developmental milestones, including potty training, weaning, and establishing healthy sleep routines.
Throughout my career, I have also worked with many children facing unique challenges, including learning difficulties, speech impediments, severe reflux, chronic constipation, and food aversion. The insights gained from supporting these children have been invaluable. I pride myself on ensuring that any developmental or health challenge is never a barrier to a fulfilling, happy, and rewarding day.

Sophie has been our nanny for almost a year now, starting when our son was turning 5 months old. Sophie has always taken perfect care of our son. We'd never had a nanny before and we both have busy jobs and it was very reassuring that Sophie has so much experience both generally looking after children but also knowing all that is available in the local area so he gets the most out of his day. She always has the day's activities planned, but will adapt to his needs and our requirements as well. She's great to work with, always on time and communicates really well with us both at handover and during the day. She is a wonderful nanny, we are only letting her go because our circumstances are changing and we will miss her very much.

I’m so pleased to recommend Sophie, who looked after our little boy from six to ten months of
age, twice a week. From the very beginning she was warm, kind, and attentive, and she quickly
built a lovely bond with him.
She made sure his days were full of fun and learning — taking him along to baby classes,
playgroups, and the park. We could see how much he enjoyed his time with her, and we really
valued how she encouraged his curiosity and development in such a gentle, caring way.
As parents, we always felt completely at ease leaving him in her care. She is reliable,
thoughtful, and has a natural way with children that gave us so much peace of mind. Most
importantly, our little boy adored her.
We feel very lucky to have had her support during this stage of our son’s life, and we wouldn’t
hesitate to recommend her to any family looking for someone trustworthy, nurturing, and full of
warmth.

Sophie worked as our family’s nanny from October 2022 to January 2025.
Sophie stood out to us for her professionalism, experience and skills but also her emotional intelligence when discussing our family’s needs and our parenting style. We felt an instant bond with her and since the beginning Sophie has treated our children as if they were her own. Her genuine love and concern for their well-being is evident in everything she does.
Within just a few weeks of starting, Sophie had built a network of nannies and other caregivers. This
initiative has provided our children with a good social network which significantly contributed to their social development, confidence and happiness.
We use her often now for babysitting and she has been nothing but supportive as we navigate parenting with not much 'village' around us! She truly has become part of our family. I would wholeheartedly recommend Sophie to anyone looking for childcare services.
