Nina

My Summary

My Experience

I have worked within nurseries for 17 years as a nursery nurse. I have also worked in a respite unit for childen with additional needs. I was recently a nanny for a little girl with down syndrome. Previous to that I was a nanny for another little girl. Ive loved this role over the years and really bonded well.

My last role was a nanny in the west end for a lovely family with a lovely little girl who I looked after for several months before her Mum went on maternity leave and loved doing life with her and helping her grow and develop and finding her own wee personality.


My role included
doing things with her at home including crafts, messy play, play based learning, stories, songs, I took care of her needs and help provide a stimulating environment for her in a loving, gentle and child focused environment. While I'm here I provide for her everyday needs and work closely with her Mum. We have a good relationship and communication is always open. What I do is done gently and kindly. I do lots of fun things with the little one that she enjoys but also there is time for quiet times. My full attention and time is given to her and her developmental stage and needs. Outdoors we do outings like parks, museums, different groups.

My approach is fun but always gentle, hands on, creative, caring and focused on the child. I think its good to have an honest open relationship with the parents and work alongside them

During my time as a nursery nurse i worked mainly with children aged 0 to 2 but I also worked with all other ages including afterschool aged children.
