My Summary

My Experience

I have 7 years of experience of babysitting and 3 years of nannying experience. I have 3 years of part time experience working in a nursery setting (1.5 employed/1.5 work experience). I have a diploma in childcare and education (the same qualification the practitioners in your child’s nursery will have).

My most recent role has involved looking after a little boy and girl (aged 5.5 and 2.5) Monday to Friday. I was involved in all aspects of the children’s lives including potty training the girl, dentist visits, cooking for the whole family, organizing all activities and teaching both children English from scratch (their mother now tells me they are more fluent in English than in their mother tongue). I also took on aspects of housekeeping including running errands, food shopping, maintaining cleanliness in children’s areas, doing the families laundry and preparing food. I began caring for these children during the first covid-19 lockdown with no access to playgrounds/libraries/clubs and no school! A challenge for anyone and arguably the most rewarding role I’ve had.

I have Just finished training as a Doula with Conscious Birthing . I am looking to gain experience in this field and so will offer heavily reduced rates for families who would like to support my leap into the world of supporting birth.

My Qualifications

I am qualified as an Early Years Practitioner/key worker. I have both a certificate and diploma in Childcare and Education (cache Level 3). Previous First Aid Certificates and safeguarding training.
Psychology Degree and Doula Training.
