My Summary

My Experience

My childcare experience started 35 years ago as a nanny in New York for 6 months. Having my own children and then running a preschool for 3 years, I then went into Primary School and trained as a qualified Higher Level Teaching Assistant. Progressing within the same school, I became the Pupil Premium Champion, looking after children and working with parents from under privileged backgrounds. In addition to this, I was the SEN assistant for the school.

In September 2020 I joined my first nanny family. Since then I have worked with families with babies and children aged premature to 8 years. I still have a
great relationship with all my previous families and will always be part of their lives but life happens and circumstances change, children move on to school and some mummies decide they can’t go back to work and leave their babies. As a nanny I wear many hats - teacher, storyteller, baker, friend, caregiver, entertainer, peacemaker, hug giver, listener and playmate I do all this and provide a safe and nurturing environment. My current employer calls me ‘Mary Poppins’!

I’m looking for 2-3 full days per week but can be flexible.
I love messy play, baking, reading books and generally introducing children to as many different experiences as possible to ensure all milestones are covered.
I have a clean driving licence and my own vehicle but prefer to have use of the family car.
Excellent references available from ALL of my employers, including my current family ?
