My Summary

My Experience

I have more than 30 years' experience as a nanny, with children ranging from new-born to 11 years. In some jobs I have cared for one baby or toddler, and in one I had a family of five children, I have worked with children who were on a strictly regulated health -related diet, and with ADHD.

In my last job I looked after L aged 4 and A aged 6, I cared for them for nearly 4 years, and we're still in touch.

I like to take the children out every day. At home we enjoy stories and songs, drawing and playing with toys, and getting out in the garden. I also help with homework and play-dates.

I like to prepare healthy meals and snacks for the children .

I can offer very good references, including my most recent employers. My DBS was last renewed in May 2026. I recently renewed my first aid certificate, attending the course at Todmorden college in February this year.

My Qualifications

I am Ofsted registered, with the paediatric first aid certificate.
I also have the MNT maternity nanny qualification.
In addition, I have a BA in English, University of Cambridge.

My Availability

I can do after school pickup,{ and possibly also some morning drop-offs,} ideally 4-5 days a week. Can then do play, homework supervision, make dinner, and whatever the children need until Mum and / or Dad takes over. As a non-driver, I'm hoping to find work with a family living fairly near my home, so Walsden or Todmorden would be ideal.
Alternatively, I'd be happy to care for a baby/toddler, for up to 20 hours/week.
Happy to be flexible for the right family.

My Fees

• Nannying from £15.00 per hour (gross)
• Babysitting from £10.00 per hour

negotiable.
