My Summary

My Experience

I have over 10years childcare experience from babysitting to au pair, to a nanny.

Nanny – Twin Boys
(February 2017 – Present)

Details include:
• Sole care and shared care.
• Making bulk meals and freezing for weaning, to make life easier for mum.
• Sterilise bottles, make bottles and follow a strict routine that mum has set.
• Bathing, changing, and bed time.
• Formed an excellent bond with not only the twins but with parents too.
• Went on holiday with the family, whilst we stayed at the Grandfathers house I had sole responsibility including overnight care (with monitors).

After nursery pick up – 3yr old boy.
(October 2015 – May 2017)

Duties include:
• Picking up the little boy from nursery.
• Driving him home to give him a nutritious meal, bath and bed.
• Occasional babysitting.
• Some morning work if parents had to leave for work early, this is when I would give him breakfast and take him to nursery.


Nanny – 2 boys (5 and 7)
(February 2015 – September 2015)

Duties include:
• Taking the two boys to their private school (about a 20 minute drive).
• Preparing nutritious lunches.
• Taking them and picking them up from after school activities.
• Having sole care in the school holidays, where I would plan each day and ensure a fun educational time for the boys. Including trips to the zoo, cinema, swimming, football in the park, library trips etc.
• After school I ensured both boys concentrated on their homework and assisted them if needed.
• Assisted on their literacy by promoting reading before I put them to bed and awaited parents to come back around 9pm.
Whilst I was a nanny for the 2 boys stated above, I also worked as mother’s help/nanny to a little 2 year old girl and year old boy. Mum needed help in the day for a few hours 3 times a week. This is when I would step in take the little 2 year old for long walks, park trips and adventures whilst mum could work on things at home.
