About Me
Hello! My name is Annie
My Requirements
** Looking for regular after school nanny / babysitting for 2 girls in BROCKLEY, SE4 **
WED after school & evening - 3pm to 9pm
(plus optional SUNDAY afternoons time TBC)
Starting ASAP
__________
Hello!
We are looking for a playful, warm and loving person to build a secure relationship with our two girls (Eliza aged 6 and Alice, turning 4 in October) and provide regular part-time term time childcare support for our family.
(We would also be interested in your support during the school holidays if you are available. This could be for similar or more hours than the term time arrangements - to be discussed.)
Our family has employed three nannies previously (each for several years at a time before they left to pursue other interests) and can provide references to confirm we are a highly supportive and flexible employer.
______
Responsibilities would include collecting Alice from a local nursery (20 mins walk from our hours), meeting Eliza at home (from a school car pool drop off), supporting the girls in after school activities like creative play (either separately or together), making a healthy dinner, supervising reading, and then taking the girls through their usual bedtime routine.
Our girls are intelligent, fun, imaginative and loving. They are also highly energetic (Eliza in particular) and very tuned into their emotions! Eliza has just been diagnosed with ADHD and she is also autistic. Her profile is what used to be called "high functioning" and she is very skilled at masking during the school day, but this takes a heavy toll on her energy and as a family we are working hard to support her in being able to identify and communicate her emotions and needs, to help her be as regulated and happy as possible.
We are hoping to find someone that wants to connect with and understand both Eliza and Alice and who is interested in building nurturing and supportive relationships with them both - to eventually become a trusted adult and role model in their lives.
You would be working with a highly supportive and engaged family - working alongside me (Annie). I have recently left a corporate career (in which I had extensive experience of people management, leading teams and operating in complex environments) in order to be able to devote more time and emotional energy to supporting our family. I am passionate about properly valuing "heart intelligence" work such as childcare and the caring professions. I am retraining myself as a breathwork therapist and eventually aim to build a local practice supporting the community using this modality. I also am autistic myself and one of my many special interests is creating supportive relationships in all areas of life - family, friends, colleagues and the wider community - so I would love to work together with you to meet all our goals!
By supporting the girls you will be making a hugely positive impact on the quality of life for everyone in our family.
We are really looking forward to hearing from you! Please ask if you have any questions.
Warm wishes
Annie

Reviews I've Written

Magda has been caring for my daughter Eliza for one and a half years so far, since she was a year old. We began a nannyshare arrangement (hosted at our house) in September 2019 with a family we met through NCT. Since then, we have all managed to not just survive but thrive, during three lockdowns and counting!
It’s hard to know where to start when reviewing Magda. She is not just a consummate professional and educator with deep experience and a vocational passion for early years, but one of the most selfless and kind hearted people I’ve had the privilege of knowing.
Her dedication and care for Eliza and her current nannyshare buddy is second to none. She is constantly thinking about things which might support or improve their day - from the big (she was a guiding light and constant support when we embarked on potty training last autumn) to the little (always on the look out for play resources, even saving the cutest little empty pots of toiletries, to add to Eliza’s little treasure basket of little things to play with!). Magda is also conscientious to a fault - she would have to be on death’s door to call in sick and has a horror of letting anyone down.
As an educator, Magda has not just the academic knowledge of technical theory but the skill and instinct that only comes from years of deep experience. I have an (amateur) interest in early years theories around child development and education and love learning from Magda - both in conversation and also just hearing and observing how she is with the children. Both my daughter and her playmate are the loveliest company for their age. I can now start to see more and more how they are supported and encouraged by Magda to be curious, determined, patient (with each other and themselves) and also to listen - to instructions from adults and also to each other. They also have a huge amount of fun and silliness! I love hearing the peals of giggles coming up the stairs from a new game of “throw the cuddly toy while making a funny sound” :)
We feel luckier than we deserve to have met her and welcomed her into our family. I recommend her without hesitation - and in fact my advice would be to grab her and hold onto her as long as you possibly can! I’m happy to give any further feedback or answer questions - please feel free to get in touch either here or else Magda can provide my contact details.
