Nanny in Dunstable
My Summary
About Me
I'm a warm, experienced nanny and nanny-housekeeper with over 20 years working with children of all ages — from newborns to teenagers, including twins from birth and children with additional needs. Over the years I've cared for children in several long-term family placements, including a 5-year role caring for twin boys from birth alongside their older sibling, and a 3-year role with two young children, as well as working as a teaching assistant and learning mentor in schools and colleges.
Before moving into childcare, I trained and worked as a pharmacist for over a decade, and I bring that same structure, patience and attention to detail into how I run a household and support a child's routine. I'm currently completing an MSc in Psychology, which shapes how I understand children's emotional needs and communicate with parents.
For me, this isn't just a job — I become part of the family's rhythm, and I care about being known as a person, not just hired as a service. Open communication and mutual respect matter to me as much as experience does.
I hold a full UK driving licence and an enhanced DBS on the Update Service, and I'm happy to help with light housekeeping duties connected to the children's routine.
Looking for: part-time nanny , ideally 10am–4pm on weekdays, in or near LU5.
