About Me
New —— Spaces now available for September 2024
Very close to Kent house station.
My aims for Annie The Nanny’s childcare are - I want to create a space that all children feel safe, secure and happy. I believe children are their best and achieve their best when they feel these things. I want my setting to be a home from home for the children where they feel apart of a little community of youngsters that are cared for here. I want to draw from all of my experiences as a nanny and from working within a nursery setting to give the children as best as I can, the best of both worlds. I want my home to a place that the children are excited to get to, and know that their day will be full of fun. The children will be encouraged to progress with their development through play, exploration, taking safe risks and being creative just to name a few.
The children will have healthy snacks and home cooked food. There are lots of toys at the house and the children are very welcome to free play, but I will also set up lots of activities daily around our weekly theme I.E arts and crafts, baking, mini roll play; while I will encourage the children to engage with the activities I have set up I will also seek to let the children set their own pace while here, if they want to paint while we have a baking activity out for example, I will always aim facilitate how the child wants to explore and learn that day at that time. The big garden will also always be open for play!
Above all I want my home to be a relaxed and positive environment for your children. A space that everyday I will strive to do my absolute best for them.

They have also asked me to work all school holidays once full time role ends in early January. This full time role is looking after two brothers 9 months and 3 at the beginning of role. Duties include : during term time taking older brother to school and collecting, cooking all meals preparing lunches, all nursery duties for now one year old. Taking babies out everyday to a group/ activity, swimming once a week, Creating a safe, fun and encouraging atmosphere for the boys. With lots of different daily activities and creativity.

Generally being an extra pair of hands that permanent staff could rely upon.
Position as a nanny in Peckham: 40 hours weekly: September 2013 to May 2015
Working for this busy family with 3 children ages (when I began post) 16 months, 5 years and 7 years. Working from 7:30am until 6pm my days started with preparing breakfast, getting the older children ready for school and taking them via train everyday to school. Once the girls were at school I would take the youngest to a different playgroup every morning ranging from discovery play, football skills to swimming. Then home for lunch in the afternoon and to do any laundry, tidying ironing ect that needed doing. Although when I started my role for this family ironing was not something they wanted me to do, I offered to do it for them to help out with the running of the home. In the afternoon I try to again vary activities from baking to arts and crafts making sure the afternoons are just as fun as our morning playgroup. Also in this time I will pre prepare the dinner for the evening, so that when I arrive back from the school run we have maximum time to get homework done, do violin and piano practice but to also leave time for some activities with the older children. After dinner it’s a case of getting everything tidied away and ready for the next day, making sure school bags, uniforms, homework and school kits are ready and out for the following morning. Throughout this nanny job I have also worked with the family to successfully potty train the youngest child.
