My Summary

My Experience

I have been working with children for over 30 years and hold a Foundation degree and BA Hons in childcare and education.

I currently work as a nanny for a local family, however, due to their family circumstances, they no longer require my services after March 2026. I have been employed by them since September 2023. Prior to this I was also employed as a nanny for a family with 2 girls in Ashtead for 2 years and another family before this for 4 years.

My other current job is working every morning running Boogie Beat music and movement classes for children under 5 years. I run sessions in local nurseries and schools term time only, during the mornings.

From 1997-2016 I worked as a Nursery Manager in the same day nursery for 17 years working with children from 3 months to 5 years old. My duties included inducting and training nursery practitioners and managing a team of up to 25 staff. I had overall responsibility of safeguarding children and ensuring health and safety standards were maintained at all times, especially with regards to adult:child ratios.

I was responsible for the quality of early years provision and ensuring that all children had a key person who were able to promote good outcomes for children through the Early Years Foundation Stage.
I worked closely with all parents, to engage and support them in their children's learning and development throughout their time at nursery.

In 2016, I made the decision to change my role to utilise my knowledge and experience working with children and families without all the administration and managerial tasks which comes with running a busy nursery!

My previous roles include working as a Children's representative overseas for Thomson Holidays, (1988 - 1995) where I was responsible for organising fun games and activities for children who were on holiday from the age of 3 to 12 years old.
