My Summary
About Me
UK NANNY OF THE YEAR 2024 FINALIST
Hello, I’m Nanny Han.
I am an OFSTED registered nanny that loves an adventure! I am a warm, kind, highly experienced sole charge British nanny with boundless energy and professional experience from newborn upwards. I appreciate just how important it is to find the right childcare and feel confident in leaving your children with the right person. I come with excellent references and am known by the families I’ve been lucky enough to join for being their ‘Mary Poppins.’ I am often found playing pirates, princesses or stuck at the top of a climbing frame surrounded by children, I have been told by my charges that I can do a mean American accent and a super ‘princess’ voice. I don't just like to read a story, I like to bring every character to life. I absolutely ADORE my job and find it so rewarding. I’ve been lucky enough to go on many adventures with my families, from exploring the local forest to travelling long haul around the world!
I am committed to child development and safety and learning through play. I follow the OFSTED guidelines for Early Years. (Updated 2021.) I’m a great believer in open ended resources and child led activities. A cardboard box isn’t just a box - it could be a space ship, shopping trolley, car or a house! I have had Montessori training and hold a certificate in Montessori education.
I am very confident supporting children with additional needs. I have in depth experience working with children with ASD using a variety of communication methods, regulation techniques, as well as using sensory discovery, speciality massage and more!
I have tutoring experience and have worked with children needing additional school support and GDD.
I have also had experience supporting children with Type 1 Diabetes, serious life threatening allergies and can handle an epi-pen.
In my previous role, I worked for an OFSTED outstanding setting as an Early Years Educator, which included a session a week at Forest School. I have a current enhanced DBS check, full clean driving licence, own car and a current paediatric first aid certificate.
On a personal level, I speak both Spanish and English. I have a huge passion for playing netball - I play for a local team and really look forward to all my games! I also love skiing and am no happier than when in the snowy Alps. I am an outdoorsy person and love muddy walks, bike rides, trips to the beach and exploring the countryside, equally I am confident keeping children warm and cosy inside on winter days, playing educational games, doing arts and crafts and baking! I have an adorable dog called Rosie that has completed our happy home and I am comfortable around all animals.

Hannah is the most incredible nanny and I would highly recommend her to any family. Warm, friendly and caring from the minute she steps foot into your home. Incredibly knowledgeable about children’s milestones and development. My daughters adored their time with her and we look forward to having Han in our family in the future.

Hannah is simply wonderful - she is happy, energetic, friendly & well-spoken. She is always on time & well-prepared! Hannah thinks ahead and plans accordingly - offering to make meals & prep everything needed for essential routines. Both of our children warmed to Hannah instantly & every effort was made by Hannah to get to know our children which massively contributed to this!
We adore Hannah and we would happily invite Hannah to look after our children when needed! She has left a positive, lasting impression on our children who talk about the time she ran around the kitchen island with them and made them laugh! We would highly recommend Hannah to all of our friends and to anyone who is looking for additional help :)

It is an absolute joy to take care of your children. They are so happy and settled when they are in my care and I look forward to my time with them! Thank you so much for your review. ❤️
Hannah is such a wonderful person and fantastic at her job. She is absolutely brilliant with our daughter, who adores her. I love hearing the things they get up to and Hannah will go above and beyond to help and advise if needed. Our daughter and Hannah have a lovely bond, which I believe has helped her so much through the years. I cannot recommend Hannah enough, her shining, bubbly and uplifting personality is just brilliant for children to be around!

Seeing your precious daughter bloom and grow into the confident, chatty girl she is, fills me with the greatest happiness. Thank you for your lovely review. 💕
Hannah is so professional, kind and most importantly.... FUN. My boys adore her and I completely understand why. Hannah helps reduce any anxiety / mum guilt by providing a loving, nurturing and cool atmosphere to play, learn and grow. I would highly recommend to anyone. X :)
