My Summary
About Me
I´m passionate about childcare and vocationally motivated, I absolutely love my job!
I believe in creating a positive, happy environment for children, one in which they feel protected and can thrive.
I´m a friendly, patient and easy-going person who is hard-working and takes the responsibilities that go with childcare seriously.
Very kind hearted & calm but firm & pro-active when I need to be.
I am a outdoors person and love to get the children outside anytime possible (weather permitting) I think it´s really important for children to socialise with others.
Really inspired by the Montessori approach and trained as a Montessori teacher.
I believe every child is an individual and needs to be treated that way and to get out of the way of their development as much as is possible/responsible. Learning from natural consequences and taking risks within a safe environment, encouraging lots of independence.
I find my job very rewarding. I love watching and helping the children in my care grow and develop. Knowing I have been a part of that is the greatest of the feelings!
My Experience
I have over 18 years of experience working with children and their families.
My experience is with children of a variety of ages from birth to ten.

Vicky has been nannying for my daughter for just under a year, as well as occasional babysitting. She is truly one of the family and we feel so lucky to have found her.
My daughter absolutely loves her and is so excited when she arrives in the morning. They have built a lovely bond and trusting relationship, which is so nice to see. She is very active which I love - they go out twice a day on adventures and they are always smiling and laughing. Sometimes I wonder who is having more fun - my daughter or Vicky :)...she genuinely enjoys the company of children and watching them develop. I really like the way she treats my daughter, as a friend but with clear behavioural boundaries and my daughter has obviously flourished in her company. Vicky sends photos throughout the day which is really lovely and so nice to receive at work. I have 100% confidence in her and trust that my daughter is safe, happy and having fun when they are together.
My partner and/or I often work at home and she has always been very flexible with this, which has been great as it can't always be easy. She is very respectful and has a clear routine so we all know where we stand. She has really taken an interest in my daughter. For example, she's not the best sleeper and Vicky always tries to support and come up with new ideas. Likewise, she is keen to try new foods out on my daughter, who has been having some dietary issues.
Vicky also babysits for us (and will always try to accomodate us at short notice which is amazing) and everything always goes to plan. She copes fine with bedtime and if my daughter wakes, and the house is always left super clean.
Thanks Vicky!x

Vicky has worked with us as an occasional babysitter since my daughter was a baby. She has also worked with my friend's son who is ADHD and ODD (he was 7 initially). She would babysit both of them at the same time. She demonstrated excellent child management as she is an articulated individual, a real motivator and an excellent communicator. She can understand complex information and interpret difficult behaviours sometimes displayed. She is very polite and professional, following instructions and being a good listener. She is also very conscious of confidentiality and data protection. Vicky is very organised, attentive and possesses excellent child care skills. She is very approachable, welcoming and has demonstrated excellent rapport, particularly with my daughter and my friend's son, by being attentive, enthusiastic and self-motivated to carry out all of the activities and challenges in front of her. Her punctuality and behaviours throughout her time with us have been highly impressive and has demonstrated all of the skills and qualities required to be successful in any appropriate job role, particularly when applying her high standards of work, great eye for detail and adaptability. She has demonstrated an outstanding attitude and effort, making it fun for our children who really love her dearly. We miss you already Vicky!!

We’ve been with Vicky for 6 months now and I couldn’t hope for more in a nanny. Our son adores her. She is loving and caring towards him but sets him clear boundaries in terms of his behaviour. He’s developed loads in her care, particularly in terms of communication.
The extent of her experience with children was clear at the start, both in her confidence and interpreting his wants and needs when he can’t communicate for himself.
I love her approach to the day. There’s no sitting in at home...every opportunity and they’re out and about...be it playgroups, galleries, the library or the park.
On top of that she is professional, always prompt, and provides regular updates and photos. So if I was ever in any doubt I can see how much fun he's having!
Every day I leave for work, it’s with a feeling of content, knowing my son’s going to have another great day with Vicky.
Xx
