My Summary
About Me
Hello
I am a well mannered, kind reliable and trustworthy nanny with a great deal of experience and interest in children and their development.
I am confident and of an easy going friendly nature I am able to develop close relationships with both children and families.
I have excellent communication skills and can relate well with people at all levels. I am able to work to an excellent standard under considerable pressure whilst presenting a positive image to others.
I love the outdoors and try to get the children out as often as I can as I feel they can learn a lot from the simplest things and the children always love it even if it means putting on splash suits and wellies.
I have a good imagination when it comes to occupying restless children and can quickly adapt myself to suit any situation.
My Experience
I have been working as a nanny for 18 years with a range of different aged children.
I have extensive experience working with children from newborn up until 4years, with one having learning and development difficulities. I have also looked after multiple children at once by doing a nanny share so they were of similar age. I have a strong understanding of the general abilities and interests of children at this age and therefore know what sorts of games and activities would be most appropriate for this age range of children.
I have also had experience in working with school age children up until 10 years of age helping and supporting with school homework would not be a problem.
In previous jobs I have taken the children to various playgroups, library’s, gym activities and parks. I have also taken children for their hospital, dental and health checkups.
My Qualifications
• I have a diploma in childcare and education level 3
• A first aid certificate
• Hold a disclosure Scotland PVG
• Full drivers licence
My Availability

Tara was caring, trustful and super positive. Our both boys 4 and 8 years old didn’t speak English at all, but that wasn’t problem. It was lovely to have this kind of experience about different country and culture. We can warmly recommend Tara, she is best ever!

Tara played a major part in the early year’s journey and development of our smart, adventurous fun loving little boy that we will be forever grateful for.
Tara was our son's nanny from the age of 1 to 4 years old.
Over this period Tara, with our agreement, also brought her own two children to work, so she supervised three children all in a similar age range. We felt this beneficial for our son having other similar aged kids to interact with. We could also see that Tara clearly supervised all three children perfectly, and never once could we question her support for our son. It was obvious he was her core priority during her working hours.
From day 1 Tara was easy to get along with, integrated easily into our house, was tidy, and aware of our working at home so keeping noise levels down. Tara would batch cook dinners / lunches for our son and freeze these. This was really helpful and encouraged Harvey to eat a variety of foods.
Tara would talk with us about our wishes for our sons learning, and come up with activities to support him. She would also leave us daily reports of his activity.
We felt he was perfectly supported by Tara with a range of activities from outdoor walks, adventures and play, to creative art work, and supporting early learning around numbers and letters.
We would highly recommend Tara for anyone seeking a nanny for one or multiple children of this age, given we could see she was perfectly capably of supporting three children from 0-4 years.
Our son had a lovely bond with Tara!

Tara has been our part time Nanny for just over a year and our little boy adores her. Tara is reliable, flexible, and kind. Our little boy has a lovely time on his days with Tara and they always have an activity filled day including trips to the park and plenty of fresh air which he loves. Tara always spends time with him doing arts and crafts and games which is helping him developmentally in a nurturing environment.

Tara was our nanny for 6 months until she moved on to fulltime work with another family. We were sorry to loose her. During her time with us she looked after my 1 year old and 4 year year old.
Our children are typical boys and love being out and about. She always made the day fun and entertaining whatever the weather! She have a very kind calm manner and was very good at interacting with both of our children. Both boys were always very settled and content in her care.
We would have loved to offer her fulltime employment but could not at the time, thus we were very sorry to see her go! She is an excellent nanny
