My Summary

Qualified And Experienced Nanny

My Experience

Professional employment history:-
I have 20 years professional experience in looking after babies and young children between the ages of 2 months and 6 years.

My positions as a nanny have included general care, (including feeding and taking care of small babies) play and crafts at home and going out on exciting outings and playgroups and music classes. I love being active and out in nature and and I strongly believe that being outside and seeing nature provides many opportunities for children to learn and develop skills and I reflect this in my practice. My nannying roles have also included doing some light house work, preparing healthy meals, being attentive to the needs of very small children and babies, helping with homework and going on different outings. Importantly, I make sure that all the children in my care are safe at all times, ensure hygiene routines are adhered to and keep the environment clean and tidy.

At the nursery where I previously worked, my role involved observing and planing activities for the children in order for them to develop in all areas outlined in the Early Years Foundation Stage. I have a good all round knowledge of child development and did my best to help my key children develop to their full potential, whilst also having lots of fun! I particularly enjoyed doing art activities, messy play, cooking, music and movement plus reading stories with the children. I considered communication with staff and parents a vital role and I always strived to give individual feedback to each parent at the end of the day.

Additionally, I have also worked on a one to one basis with a child with special educational needs, which involved following an IEP, doing specific activities to help with his development, which I found rewarding. I have gained experience with looking after twins both at the nursery and in my current and previous nanny roles. I have also been on lots of different courses and workshops to progress my knowledge and skills in childcare and continue to keep up to date with training. I hold a valid first-aid and food hygiene certificate.

Work experience:-
Previous to my nursery position, whilst studying for my diploma I did work experience in a local primary school for 1 year, at a special needs school for 2 weeks and at another nursery for 1 year. Also whilst studying I had a short summer job at a Montessori nursery and a summer job as a nanny looking after a baby.
