My Summary
About Me
NOT LOOKING FOR A POSITION AT THE MOMENT.
Hi my name is Natalie Diggins and I'm 33 years old, living in Surbiton. I have been working in childcare for the last 16 years, 8 of which I have been nannying. I’m available Monday - Thursday. I am looking for a family who are wanting someone to care, support and look after their child's every need. I am a proactive and fun person, who enjoys making every day a new and fun experience for the child whether it be taking children out to places such as, the park, play groups, soft play, library and various other activities, or having a day in with activities developmentally appropriate for the child's range. I believe that this is paramount in order for the children to learn and develop. I am a very reliable and loving person who understands the importance of the responsibilities handed over by the parents.
My Experience
I started my career path in childcare in 2004 at Barnes Primary School where I had my Work experience. I then went on to study Childcare in further education at Richmond College, this gave me the opportunity to further my knowledge with all ages from 3 months -11 years. I have experience in a number of different settings - Baby unit, Daycare, Nannying, Proxy parenting, Nursery attached to a school and Primary School. I have also had the opportunity to work with children with disabilities (SEN) on a 1:1 basis (Angles Mans Syndrome, Soto's Syndrome, Autism, Selective Mutism and general learning difficulties).

Natalie has been part of our family for the last 12months, and has been the best decision and investment for our children we could have ever asked for.
She is a warm, caring and super considerate person and we can tangibly see how this has improved the kids’ behaviour. They have definitely become more polite, well mannered and generous themselves (very good at sharing!)
Natalie looks after everything from pick up and drop offs, their cooking and laundry and general tidying up after them. I love the little details she puts into things when she re-arranges their toys, or how she sets up new play stations for them. She is also very inventive with creating new activities from things lying around the house - I particularly love the phonics, colours and number aids she places around their spaces.
Natalie always gets the kids out of the house and exploring, which they LOVE. I think they’ve been to most playgrounds, woods and parks in the area! She is great at connecting with other nannies and as a result the kids have made very good friends with other nanny children which has been very sweet to see flourish.
Natalie’s communication is superb, always sharing updates and photos of the kids, flagging things that need our attention and leaving reminders for us on school/nursery matters.
We would have Natalie back in a heartbeat if we needed a full time nanny again. The kids will be devastated when she leaves, the next family are going to be super lucky to have her 😊
We are not sure how we’ll do without her!

Natalie has been our nanny since September 2018. We were so lucky to find her. She has looked after our 2 lively boys perfectly and she’s been a wonderful addition to our family. The boys adore her. She has an amazing manner with children, she’s patient, creative, caring, hard working, super tidy and fun. We’re not quite sure how we’ll cope without her. With both boys at school now we just don’t need the hours of childcare anymore.
Natalie cooks lovely healthy meals, she’s always got lots of ideas for getting them out of the house and in the fresh air. She’s got great ideas for games and activities at home - making them educational but fun at the same time.
We will all be very sad to see her go.
