My Summary
About Me
I'm not looking for a new position at the moment but am available for babysitting in the evenings or school holidays.
I am a NNEB qualified nanny with 21 years child care experience. I have a strong CV and very good references which I will happily forward for interested parents; all my references are also happy to be contacted. I have a wealth of experience looking after children and babies from new-born to teenagers.
For the past 14 months I have been looking after Amber, Poppy and Iris. From September Iris will be starting full time school so I will no longer be needed.
I have 2 daughters aged 8 and 13 who love other children and are very adaptable. I do need a role where I can have my youngest with me, she attends Reigate Priory School. My eldest is at Reigate School and pretty much self sufficient.
I have a full clean driving licence and a modern, well maintained SUV (7seater) that I use for work with business insurance. I have a current first aid certificate and DBS. I am also fully OFSTED registered.
I can be flexible with hours and days during the week I work, full or part time hours are welcome.
I live in Reigate and, please note I will only consider roles in Reigate and the immediate surrounding area due to my daughter attending school in Reigate.
Please feel free to contact me for a chat on any specific needs or regarding any of my experience on my mobile number at anytime.
My Experience
Having studied for my NNEB at East Surrey College I started my journey in childcare working in private nurseries but really wanted to offer care at a more personal level. After gaining a base of experience looking after children from 3 months to 5 years in the nursery setting I was offered a private nanny role by the parents of one of the children at the nursery and jumped at the chance.
Since starting nannying I have had a number of different nanny roles such as sole charge, nanny share and nanny/housekeeper. Over the years I have become part of the family for many of my employers and am still in touch with the majority of the parents and children. As is the nature of nanny jobs all of my previous positions have come to end when children start full time school or families move away.
As an experienced nanny and parent I have good knowledge of local clubs and fun activities for children of all ages. I also have a circle of close friends and other nannies with lovely children to socialise with.
For the past year I have been working 3 days a week in Reigate Priory School as a Special Needs Assistant in year 3 while nannying on the other 2 days. I have very much enjoyed this role but unfortunately both my nannying and school contract come to an end in August so I am looking for a new nanny role to start around August or September.

Jo is an amazing Nanny who was a 4 day per week Nanny for our son between the ages of 1-3 years old. Jo is full of warmth for kids, she's also flexible, calm and precise and extremely well organised. As was needed she planned days out, creative play or just quiet time at home. She adapts to what children need, puts safety at the highest priority and her handover communication was always very thorough and helpful. We moved away overseas so we had to temporarily say farewell to Jo but she remains a valued family friend and trusted advisor of all things childcare !! Happy to speak to anyone who needs more info on this lovely nanny.
