Nanny in Edinburgh
My Summary
About Me
I'm am looking for a full time nanny job. Ideally, Monday-Friday, although I am always open and understanding when extra days or time may be required.
I have been working at a children’s nursery for 2 years and have my SVQ 3 in childcare. Prior to this, during my University years I nannied for 3 years for the loveliest family.
I believe in a child-centred approach to caring for children, it is essential to me that they feel understood and loved. I also find a Montessori style of learning very beneficial for children as it helps not only with their physical and mental development but also benefits their own self confidence and perspective on their capacity.
