My Summary

My Experience

I have been in childcare - since I attended College when I was 16 where I qualified in a Level 3 CACHE childcare diploma. As part of my college course I completed work experience in a variety of childcare settings including a primary school, a pre school & a day nursery.

I have a great understanding of the under 5’s development framework - (Early years foundation stage) which I use to base activities around for the little people in my care.

My first childcare role in 2010 was at a well known day nursery chain in central London based in a toddler room.

During this time I regularly supported my friend with care for her then newborn for ad hock evening/overnight relief.

In 2012 I began working for a Bright Horizons nursery as a Room manager for a Toddler room where my role was to support a team, alongside carrying out high quality care and following routines for the children and families. After 2 1/2 years at the setting I had a promotion to Junior Deputy manager where I was often in sole charge of the whole nursery.
During this time I also ran the pre school room.
I was the SENCO provider for the nursery, which involved lots of help from outside agencies to support each child’s needs.
During my time at Bright Horizons I was given the opportunity to open a new baby room from scratch which was a challenge I really enjoyed. I ran the baby room for almost a year before moving on to a new nursery.

In 2017 I changed settings and began a new role at a privately owned small Day nursery in Croydon.

I decided to start nannying in 2017 & start a new venture.
I became a nanny to two lovely little people ages 1 & 3 at the time. We enjoyed plenty of craft, messy play, songs, dancing, stories, games, playgroups, role play, play dates & days out to farms, parks, leisure centres, & National trusts. I would care for them when they were sick with lots of TLC & take them to doctors appointments when necessary. I supported the youngest with toilet training too.
I would ensure the play area /garden & children’s bedrooms were tidy before I finished for the day. I did laundry when necessary & cooked healthy balanced meals for the children.

During the above nanny role I became pregnant with my daughter & my maternity leave began in April 2020. I chose to take an extended maternity leave due to my role being made redundant.

I now work as a Childcare Practitioner at a local day nursery 2 days a week (Thurs/Fri) in the baby room.

I am currently searching for some AD HOC nannying in which I can bring my two girls where necessary (my partner works shifts) - perhaps just the odd random day or pick up.
Also evening babysits for when it suits both parties around my partners shift work.
