My Summary
About Me
Hi
I hope your all well, I finished with my lovely sole nanny position after 3.5yrs in 2021 as she has started reception and there are not enough hrs to fulfil my role, and I also had to undergo some major surgery. We are still in contact as little lady became part of my family and neither myself nor the family want to walk away from that. I am 49yrs young and and have a 16yr old daughter and 3 step children ( who live with their mum). I live in Feltham with my husband and daughter and have lived here for 17.5yrs. I am a caring , fun, loving , happy person who enjoys helping people , cooking, reading,walking , swimmimng, playing games and being outdoors. I am a hard worker and take my role seriously to ensure the health and safety of anyone I work with. I am firm but very fair in my approach. I am kind hearted and loving and enjoy my job being a nanny and being a little silly sometimes ( don't we all ) . I believe working with children is something that you want to do it is not just a job, you form attachments as do the children/child, you can't just walk in and out of a child's life, and just break bonds they are little people who matter and have feelings too.
In my spare time I like to go for walks work out at home and I also have my own little glitter page as I make glitter items from cups, glasses to picture frames along with memory keepsake items such as feather memory light bottles, baubles. I also now make resin gifts such as keychains, bag charms, coasters etc all which I can personalise very messy at times but who doesn’t love lots of sparkle and if making something that can be a personal gift which brings a smile is worthwhile.
My Experience
I have over 26yrs experience with children and the elderly. I started off helping my sister with her 6 children and think that is where I gained my love of caring for others.
I have worked with social services and the private sector with children in care, with over 5yrs experience in a pre-school. I also have experience with the elderly again a caring role so have been lucky to work with ages ranging from 0-106.
I have just my most recent position where I was for 3.5yrs due to little lady starting reception. Previously I had sole charge for a 1yr old for 1.5yrs taking care of all her needs, even to the point of her staying with me for 2/3 days a week for months due to mothers situation.
I like to make sure we have fun whilst learning. We will do lots of outdoor play parks, feeding ducks, muddy puddles, running about . Going to baby/toddler groups is important and depending on age arranging play dates, any social interaction is a vital learning curve. Children learn through play . At home there's lots of fun stuff arts and crafts, puzzles , messy play, making play dough or baking cakes, just as important is having time out from being on the go, having a cuddle whilst enjoying a story, or singing songs, is great and begins a life long love of reading and a great way to learn.
Due to recent covid situations, my little lady has not been in nursery and we have been doing educational activities such as phonics, writing, maths etc. I have excellent checkable references, which will either be available at interview or contact details provided at that time. I am Enhanched DBS checked and on the update service.
