My Summary
About Me
AM LOOKING FOR A MONDAY AND TUESDAYS JOB FROM 1ST SEPTEMBER 2022. LOOKING FOR ATLEAST 10HRS ON BOTH DAYS! PLEASE GET IN TOUCH IF MY PROFILE APPEAL TO YOU, I ALWAYS OFFER ?!
Fully trained, Ofsted registered Nanny with over 17 years experience working with children from babyhood- secondary school age. During the lockdown I was awarded a Certificate of Excellence by Childcare.co.uk.
Reliable, responsible, caring and loving. I adore the children I work with and am passionate about nurturing their growth and development. I create an environment in which children can be themselves and thrive.
I love what I do and each day is an adventure. I always spend the morning at singing groups, playgrounds, parks, bubble clubs, local activities. We have fun playing games and we walk, scooter, bike everywhere at the children’s pace taking in the environment and learning opportunities around us.
I believe that routine helps create a sense of security and comfort. We have a set routine which may include school drop off for older siblings followed by an activity which is both stimulating and educational. You will often find us in the park or playground and we might even stay for a picnic lunch before heading home to prepare the supper and have a bit of quiet time, drawing, reading, napping, singing, talking depending on the child’s needs, before heading out for school pick up. Once all the children are together, I take pride in creating a family environment where their emotional and social needs are met. Both the older and younger children in a nanny-share learn a lot from being with a mix of ages.
I prepare and cook healthy, nutritious and tasty food. The kids love my home cooked meals and dinnertime is an opportunity to come together, chat, have fun and learn polite manners and helpful behaviours naturally.
I am extremely safety conscious. I am very protective of the children I work with and their health and safety is of paramount importance, especially during these unusual times. I have my Paediatric First Aid Certificates and Child Safeguarding Level 3 Certificate. Children’s happiness and wellbeing is very dear to me, and I always try to achieve it.
I am hardworking, committed and loyal. My qualities are reflected in my work, in which I put absolutely 100%. I have excellent communication skills and enjoy very good working relationships with both parents and children.
My Experience
I have been involved in childcare since my teens. I have about 17yrs of experience, and all my previous and current families to whom all those review come from are very willing to give me references.I have nurtured so many children, most of them am still in touch with. I worked for African Child Charity during my teens for 2 Saturdays a month from 2004-2008 where I helped in their Somali refugees' homework and play groups. I have got experience with TWINS CARE and NANNY SHARE

Cathy has looked after my two boys (3 and 5) on Mondays and Tuesdays for the last two years and has recently started looking after my two nephews as well (2 and 4). She is a fantastic nanny who is very reliable, dedicated and completely unflappable. She manages 4 small, energetic boys with ease and they all adore her. She is incredibly loving and totally committed to the children she looks after. We love the fact she is proactive and always takes the children out and about as well as arranges play dates and activities. She has unlimited energy and patience and will willingly play football, small world animal role play and superheroes for far longer than any of us can manage! She takes everything in her stride and has been involved in everything from potty training,
to bedtimes, dropping naps and starting school and nursery! We feel very lucky to have found Cathy and are so grateful that when our children are in her care we can completely relax knowing they couldn't be better looked after. We would highly recommend her!

Its very nice and kind of your Tash. Thanks so much for a sweet review....am so glad that my services make your life easier. Me and the boys both enjoy each others company thus making everything easy for me. Am here to offer my best and am glad that its good for you.
Many thanks Tash for the review.
Cathy is an exceptional nanny who goes above and beyond the duties of the role providing a truly caring and loving environment in which children can be themselves and develop naturally. Cathy strikes the right balance between meeting the children's needs (including educational and social), encouraging good manners and having lots of fun! Our sons (1-2yrs and 5-6yrs at the time) have benefited tremendously from their time with Cathy (and they loved her amazing cooking too!). We were fortunate enough to have Cathy as our nanny for the Wed- Fri share and cannot recommend her or this share more highly.

I love and will missed my boys but will keep in touch as much as possible.
Many many thanks again! Xxx
As part of a nanny share with 3 other children, Cathy has been looking after our 2 year old all day and our 4 year old after school 3 days per week for almost a year. She has a very kind and loving relationship with the children, she treats them all as individuals and helps them to develop in a way appropriate to their age and personality. She keeps the youngsters busy with plenty of fun activities and copes effortlessly with the crowd of five after school and in the holidays. A really lovely and reliable lady. Very happy to have found her.

Thanks so much Alice for your kind words, and thanks so much for sharing your beautiful daughters with me. We will miss them so much but as you already know we are looking forward to the lots of playdates to come.
Many many thanks!
Cathy has been our sole charge nanny for 2 days per week for our twin daughters for the past year.
Cathy is a tremendous nanny and I trust her completely. She is organised, reliable and makes looking after twins easy! My daughters absolutely love her. Cathy is genuinely interested in their development and manages to balance teaching 'right from wrong' with lots of warmth, positivity, fun and activities. She also has some great techniques for feeding on those difficult days. I have observed Cathy is always prepared, always on time and never takes the 'easy option' when managing the girls (like mum might every so often!).
I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Cathy to future employers.

Many thanks for giving me the chance to looking after your gorgeous girls! Its was a challenge worth taking. Am happy to work for your great family!

Cathy looks after our two kids with another family (total of four kids!) and is fantastic at it. She is totally reliable, dedicated, loving, conscientious, fun and committed. She takes them out every day without fail and has a brilliant grip on the local activities. She makes nutritious lunches and dinners every day and always has a smile. The kids adore her and we really cannot recommend her highly enough.
