My Summary
About Me
About Me
I am a caring, reliable, and experienced nanny, as well as a mother of two and a grandmother to three. I am passionate about supporting children’s growth and creating a safe, happy, and nurturing environment where they can thrive
I enjoy travelling, Pilates, keeping fit, dancing, cooking, reading, and writing. As a published author, I have a love of storytelling and encouraging children's imagination through books and creative activities.
Having studied Life Coaching, I have developed valuable listening and communication skills, enabling me to support children and families with empathy, patience, encouragement, and understanding.
My Experience
My Experience
With over 40 years of childcare experience, including caring for newborn babies, I am confident in providing calm, attentive, and compassionate overnight care. I understand the importance of supporting first-time parents during the early weeks, helping to establish feeding, settling, and sleeping routines while ensuring the baby's comfort, safety, and well-being throughout the night.
I am experienced in working independently, remaining calm under pressure, and responding promptly to a baby's needs. My caring and patient nature enables me to provide reassurance and practical support to parents, allowing them to rest with confidence, knowing their baby is in safe and capable hands. I am available for overnight care, including 9.00 pm–7.00 am shifts, and I am happy to work a flexible schedule, including Thursday to Sunday, as required or with flexibility in accordance with the parents needs.
