Laurence

My Summary

My Experience

My name is Laurence, I'm from Reading and I have over twenty years of experience working with children and young people in various roles.

In a childcare capacity, I have worked in several ad-hoc roles, providing wrap-around and after school care, as well as working in sole charge roles when parents have needed to travel. I have also worked with families in more long term roles, my experience ranging from 4 months all the way up to teenagers. I am often available for shorter periods and over the school holidays, I have previously provided cover for other nannies as well as occasional nanny shares.

I also have experience with sole-charge care and have looked after children over a whole weekend while parents are away. Alongside my work as a nanny I am a performer and youth facilitator and in this capacity have created accessible sensory storytelling classes for children with additional learning needs as well as working as a drama teacher for various organisations, encouraging children to build their confidence and teamwork skills through fun and structured imaginative play. My early-years experience is from 4 months and I am particularly interested in sensory play alongside music and movement.

My Qualifications

My Availability

I'm self-employed and have different availability depending on whether it's term or holiday time.

My Fees

• Babysitting from £13.00 per hour
• Nannying from £15.00 per hour (net)

I am willing to negotiate fees, depending on distance of travel and number of hours required. Standard rate for a 4 hour daytime booking would be £14 per hour. I am always happy to discuss to find an arrangement that works for both parties.
