Nanny in Bury St Edmunds

About Me

Hello,

I'm Karis Nurse, I'm twenty five years old and currently situated in Suffolk.
I am currently working as a Teaching assistant, within a local Primary School.
I hold an Early Years Practice Degree at Level 5 alongside a Level 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care.
I am First Aid trained and carry various other accredited training.
Within the past nine years I have worked in primary education, from pre-school up to key stage two. I've offered 1:1 support for children with additional needs, as well as run interventions. I offer consistent support in my role: Physically, emotionally, socially and intellectually.
I run an After School Club, providing out of school hour care, as part of my role at the school and have also worked as a Nanny for two families, one for a family of three and the other for a foster family of six. My experience working with families ranges from Nannying to contact supervision. I have worked with some very emotionally challenged children, who have had some adverse experiences, as well as children who have moderate to severe disabilities.

My approach as a practitioner, in any setting/ home is to provide consistency, stability and structure for any child/children that I come into contact with. I work alongside the parent/parents to ensure that I am installing their core beliefs and values within my care. I pride myself on being able to offer an environment with boundaries, but boundaries that are underpinned to shape and fulfil a child's holistic wellbeing. I understand each child as an individual and I adapt my approach around that. I intend to be a breath of fresh air in the education system, I am not afraid to challenge the typically engrained approaches. One thing I am not is a shouter, I believe the best sense of control in a situation is calm, consistent and child centred.

I love to study anything involving children's development and I am incredibly passionate about working alongside children. I enyoy reading, long walks, meeting with friends and family and spending time with my fiancé. I have a friendly and positive outlook on life. l like to create a calm and balanced environment that allows for play and exploration and I love to get amongst the outdoors, regardless of the weather. I am happy to accommodate to all needs and provide a flexible can-do attitude to all families I work alongside. It is really important for me that the child/children are happy and comfortable with me and have a positive experience of the 'nannied' life. I strive to bring all my experience in to my practice, leaving families refreshed and confident in my abilities. I can offer anything from short/long term care, part/full time, ad-hoc, one off, occasion/ events based care and so on.

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any question/queries you may have.
Thank you!
