My Summary
About Me
I am interested in part-time work, 16 hours per week maximum.
I am always smiling with a positive attitude and optimistic outlook. I am friendly, outgoing, helpful and polite, with a good sense of humour.
I communicate with children at their level, adapting my vocabulary to the age of child I am communicating with. I try to see the world through their eyes! I will happily get on the floor to play games; do sticking or drawing; jump in muddy puddles; build dens, in doors or outoors.... within reason whatever the children would enjoy doing! I have been described as “firm but fair” when it comes to discipline. I love walking and photography.
I have my own car; clean driving licence and I am a British Citizen from birth.
I was finalist of Nanny of the Year competition 2020.
