My Summary
About Me
I'm a positive and approachable nanny based in Leigh, although I drive and cycle and am happy to travel. My approach is child-centred, providing plenty of opportunity for imaginative and creative play as well as outdoor, educational and cultural opportunities. I am also a yoga teacher and have also specialised in children & teen creative yoga.
I am an inclusive and LGBTQ+ friendly nanny committed to continuing professional and personal development.
My Experience
I have had a rich and varied experience within both the charity sector and nannying. My qualifications and documents are up to date but please note that my ofsted registration has lapsed; I am willing to re-register for you if required for childcare vouchers, etc.
My childcare experience includes working within Early Years settings, teaching Yoga to children, nannying and the most rewarding role so far - parenthood :) My son does have childcare but is under 5 and his pick ups may crossover with working hours - ideally he would join me for the last few hours of our day.
I studied BA (hons) Psychosocial Studies which included a first in the module Foundation in Art Psychotherapy. I have also worked within the charity sector and have a background in mental health and homelessness, community organisations and childrens centres. I have supported a teenager with physical and cognitive disabilities over many years into her transition into adulthood and continue to support her on a regular basis so have some older child SEND experience.
I can provide references from my current and previous employers and please also see my references below.

Natasha looked after our 2 children on my wife’s return to work, this was for three (long days) a week. Throughout the day she would keep us update and send us pictures of their day. Tasha was always looking for new fun activities to do, as our children enjoy being outside often these would be outdoors. She was extremely proactive in toilet training our eldest daughter. We always felt our comfortable leaving that our children were in safe hands and it made my wife’s return to work from maternity leave a lot easier.

Hi Parents
Tasha has been looking after my boys for over a year now - I have 6 year old twin boys and a very hormonal ten year old! I can honestly say that Tasha has taken every challenge they have thrown her way (and being boys, there has been a few!!) completely in her stride, and managed every situation professionally and maturely.
I have to work late one evening a week, not returning until approx 2300hrs - the first time of meeting Tasha, she asked about the bedtime routines and has adhered to them 100% so my children experience continuity.
I told my boys I would be writing this review and asked them what word they would pick each to describe Tasha - their choices were:
'Awesome', 'Kind' and 'Lovely' - if that isn't a ringing endorsement, I don't know what is!!
My boys are comfortable, at ease and well looked afer in Tasha's care, and that peace of mind is priceless as a a parent.
My children look forward to having Tasha look after them - I think they are secretly disappointed when I have to swap work days around and they don't see her when they were expecting to!
I am happy to provide a phone reference or such like for any potential clients of Tasha's - ask her for my number if you need reassurance.
You won't find a better person to care for your child(ren)!
