Nannya

My Summary

My Experience

I have a plethora of experience as both a part time live out nanny, and as a full time live in nanny. I predominantly work with children aged 6 weeks - 6 years old, however do have experience with older children too.

Some of my experience includes:

- live out regular nanny for a family with 2 children aged 4 years old and 20months (when the job started). Duties included nursery pick up, meal preparation, creating engaging activities and encouraging imaginative play, nappy changing, bath time, and bedtime routine for both children.

- Live out regular nanny for a family with one baby, 12 weeks old (when started). Duties included sole charge, weaning, bottle preparation, nappy changing, maintaining sleep schedule, taking to swim classes, days out, laundry and all usual baby care tasks.

- Full time live in nanny for a family in Australia with 2 children aged 1 and 4 years old. Duties included sole charge of both children, meal and bottle preparation, meal planning, nappy changes, organising play dates, taking the children on days out, creating mentally stimulating age appropriate games for each child, and maintaining a child’s day routine and sleep schedule.

I have also “holiday nannied” (so short term basis so parents could relax whilst on holiday) in Australia for another family caring for and 11 week old baby and 2 year old (sole charge). Again all usual childcare duities, including the correct handling and storing of breastmilk/formula. A reference is available from this family as well.

I have a full enhanced DBS, PILS and BLS and first aid certificates, and I hold a full clean manual drivers license, (held for over 6 years).

I also previously worked as an online tutor for the sciences (up to A level) and maths (up to and including GCSE level). I am therefore more than happy to help with a child’s academic work from school or extra work if required.

I am a confident cook and always aim to make nutritious meals for the children I care for (and the rest of the family if desired). However I am not experienced in vegan food and therefore would not be comfortable committing to making a family’s food if this is their preference without some help/instruction. I am happy to cater for all dietary needs if given instruction and advice to begin with. I myself am gluten free and therefore understand the importance first hand of catering for dietary needs.

My mother is a foster career and I have grown up around children from many different backgrounds and understand the differences and therefore different needs of each child. I am committed to making every child feel wanted, loved and needed. I have previously been a main carer for my foster brothers due to my mother working full time and my grandmother becoming unwell. One of my foster brothers is under assessment for ASD and the other has medicated ADHD and therefore I have experience with caring for children with these extra needs.
