My Summary
About Me
Hi Im Sarah,
An Ofsted registered nanny with nearly 10 years of experience caring for children from infants to school-age. Known for my patience, flexibility, and focus on safety and development, I currently care for children aged 7 to 11 years. I adapt easily to changing family needs and create nurturing environments that foster both
children’s growth and parents’ peace of mind.
My Experience
I am currently nannying for a lovely family who I have been with for 6 years, most of my work has been hands-on, making sure the children and household run smoothly day to day. I take care of everything from school and nursery drop-offs and pick-ups, to getting the children ready in the mornings, preparing healthy meals and snacks, and keeping on top of children’s laundry and tidying their play spaces and bedrooms.
I spend lots of time keeping the children active and entertained, whether that’s through walks, trips to the park, playgroups, or simply keeping them busy at home with games, crafts and activities. I’m also used to helping with homework, after-school clubs and playdates, so I’m very comfortable managing busy family routines.
Alongside childcare, I make sure the practical side of things is well looked after – keeping the children’s belongings organised, preparing for the next school day, and helping to keep family life running as smoothly as possible. Driving children to all clubs, activities and appointments.
I originally started off in childcare as a trainee nursery nurse on an apprenticeship and worked my way up to a qualified level 2 nursery nurse and then onto a room leader within the nursery.
Within the years of working in a nursery setting I have gained valuable experience and learnt vast amounts about children's development and their educational needs. Whilst building up strong relationships with parents.
I have worked with a number of different children all individual with their own set of needs, including children with special needs and speech difficulties.
I have experience of toilet training children and would be more than happy to help parents through this transition.
Before working in childcare I worked privately for a year with a family as a p/a supporting and caring for a young adult.
Previously to this I worked in Health & Social care for 5 years.

Sarah was our full time Nanny for 2.5 years looking after our 3 children who were 2 and 5 when she started. Sarah was an outstanding nanny at all times and we were very sorry to see her go when our youngest started school.
Sarah managed the children's drop offs and pick ups from school, lunches for days out, planned activities after school and during school holidays and much much more besides. She was nurse, counselor, teacher, friend and a great role model to the kids. The children loved her and she really has a very special way with then all and was able to attend to their individual needs when required.
Sarah was always super professional, respectful of the home setting but also very much at ease and uncomplicated. She really become part of our family and our home would not have operated without her. She's a keeper, snap her up quick!
