My Summary

Nanny Seeking New Role

My Experience

Throughout the years, I have worked with children in a variety of capacities. I have been lucky enough to help families with the very youngest starting from 3 months of ag, and then also spanning up to 12/13 years. A large volume of experience has also been gained in formal settings as Nursery Nurse or Playworker (extracurricular school environment), or as a nanny in people's homes.

I have just finished working in two separate roles, both privately. Coincidentally both of these involved working with additional needs & disabilities, which has broadened my professional development and horizons.

Prior to this I held the role of SenCo (Special Needs Coordinator) in a nursery, allowing me to become familiar with some of the processes involved with accommodating SEND in an early years setting. Similarly, before that I worked for a long time with three boys within a family, one of whom lives with autism. The latter role not only consolidated past experience working with older children (primary to early teenage years), but it prompted me to think more precisely about the role I might play for a family with a child whom has additional needs.

Above all I enjoy my job greatly. I am privileged to be entrusted with people's ‘nearest and dearest’- and I do not take this lightly! The satisfaction of making children’s time enjoyable, safe and educational is priceless to me, and I count myself very lucky.

My Qualifications

I have a degree in Psychology, and I also have a Common Core Skills qualification from previous Ofsted registration, which I am willing to update if necessary. I am part of the Voluntary Register of Childcarers.

My Availability

I had my own little one in December 2024. My hope is that I can return to work with this little cutie in upcoming December or January ‘26. From work I have done before, I know only too well, how busy yet beneficial, it can be for an infant to have a peer.

I know too that in order to find the right role, I will need to be able to satisfy parents’ expectations that their child/children will have their need(s) met — most particularly as I would have my own child with me. The role will need to suit both parties, and I respect that as a childcarer who has maintained some very real and close relationships through her work, but also as a mother now. It goes both ways in the most earnest sense!

Of course every family/parent has different requirements, and I am very willing to consider each and every situation in its own right.

My Fees

• Babysitting from £16.00 per hour
• Nannying from £16.00 per hour (gross)

I charge £16/hour, regardless of whether I am nannying during the day, or babysitting in the evening.
