My Summary

My Experience

I have 3 grown up children of my own. I previously worked for a family for 9 years nannying their 3 children, school runs, dinner and bed time routine.
In May 2019 -2021 I worked for another family 4 days a week, they had a 1 and 3 year old. Unfortunately their mum was made redundant due to Covid. I then decided to have a change of job and opened a cafe/bar in colchester town centre,
In December 2022 I decided to open my cleaning business again as previous clients were contacting me asking if I could help.
January 2024 til present, I work for a family with three children, aged 8, 11 & 16. I do school runs, dinner and bedtime routine. Plus additional school holiday days out.
In August 2025 - present, I took on an additional family where I look after their one year-old baby twice a week.
In December 2025, I applied to be an Ofsted registered nanny. I did an early learning childcare course. Had an enhanced DBS check. Attended a paediatric first aid course. Took out insurance. This is in the process and hopefully I should get my certificate within the next month. This will enable Parents to get help with childcare.
