My Summary
About Me
Welcome Parents/Carers :)
Update Jul 2023 - Parents/Carers I am currently due to start my MA Social Work in Sept 2023, therefore I am only looking for adhoc/evening/weekend and possibly after school hours.
- - - - - - - - -
Hi my name is Danica (or Dee), and a single mother of 16 year old teenage girl.
A 2019 graduate of BA (Hons) in Education Studies degree (2:1) and although I have had a real passion for teaching my preference has now been to solely pursue a career in Nannying.
I have been nannying/babysitting on and off around my studies, work, parenthood and life journeys for over 10 years. I have had various experience in working in schools both primary and secondary, customer service, admin and healthcare.
I myself know how hard it can be to find childcare, and I would like the opportunity to help parents/carers who require additional support.
I am very positive, friendly and ensure that parents can feel at ease when leaving their child in my care. I believe in providing stimulating activities to enhance a child’s learning and development. I enjoy entertaining and keeping children occupied and understand how demanding they can be, but that’s not a problem as kids need attention! With parental consent, I am more than happy to take your child/children to parks, day trips, walks, cinema, creches, soft play and other outdoor activities.
I have a passion for baking, arts and crafts, singing and swimming.
Healthy snacks and fresh meals can be prepared.
I am happy to travel anywhere within 5 mile radius of Palmers Green but I am flexible so please feel free to contact me even if you are in another area.
I HAVE A CURRENT CLEAN ENHANCED DBS, HOLD A FULL CLEAN DRIVING LICENCE FOR THE PAST 12 YEARS AND USE OF OWN VEHICLE, HAVE A DEGREE IN EDUCATION STUDIES, HOLD CERTIFICATES FOR MATHS, ENGLISH, SOCIAL WORK, HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE, HEALTH AND SAFETY AND I AM FIRST AID TRAINED.
