My Summary

My Experience

I have over 18 years childcare experience. I worked as a class teacher in primary schools for 5 years before moving onto nannying which I have been doing for the last 13 years. During this time I have been part of 3 families, currently working in Shepherd’s Bush 3 days a week, term time only in a sole charge position. This started in February 2020 when the youngest child had just turned a year old and her older sibling was 6. This position is ending with the youngest now starting school in September.

Before my current job I looked after 2 children, starting when the first was 4 months old and later looking after his newborn sister as well. This position was again sole charge, term time only in Shepherds Bush staying with the family for over 3 years.

I also worked for a family in Chiswick for 8 years, starting when the children were 18 months and almost 4 years old, initially full time and again a sole charge position. I then went on to provide holiday care and after school pick ups as the children got older and I myself started a family of my own, a boy and girl, now aged 12 and 10.

I love getting out and about in the local area and have built up a great knowledge of things to do, places to go, groups and classes that are on offer for children of a variety of ages. Similarly time spent at home can involve painting, making cards, baking, making play dough, building models, reading stories, imaginative play, putting on shows, teddy bears picnics, playing board games, having play dates with friends, completing homework etc.

I am happy to carry out nursery duties, doing the children's washing and ironing and keeping areas used by the children clean and tidy, as well as planning and cooking a range of healthy and tasty food, involving the children where appropriate and filling up the freezer with home cooked meals.

I have experience of bottle feeding, weaning, potty training, introducing and/or following routines, settling at nursery and school and appreciate the importance of effective, thoughtful communication with parents regarding their child's/childrens progress, achievements, general day to day well being and activities we've been enjoying.

Excellent references and more detailed CV available.

Kind regards and best of luck in your childcare search.
