My Summary

My Experience

I am a caring, fun and responsible person, who encourages children to use their imagination and allows the children to lead with their play.

I started babysitting from age 16- I am now 23. Additionally, my grandparents were foster carers for young babies and children and therefore I helped a lot with their care. This has provided me with a good base knowledge of looking after children from a very young age.

I decided to start professionally babysitting and nannying in 2020 when I started university. My first role was looking after two boys, ages 1&3 twice per week. I would take them to nursery and occasionally pick them up.

From this, I worked for a family who mainly lived in London, however spent weekends at their summer house. I worked with the family for six months, on mainly Saturdays, but sometimes other days. The children were 1, 3, and 6 and the role was mainly sole charge.

Alongside this role, I worked as a night nanny three times per week. The baby was six weeks when I started and had severe acid reflux. I assisted with sleep training.

After these roles, I then began working for a family who needed a nanny three days per week. The baby was six months old and they needed help until he was one year. This role was mainly sole charge and I assisted with nap times and weaning.

When I moved to London, I began working for a family with a 4 week old baby. I looked after her three times per week for 6 months. I then did a month of nannying for her over the following summer.

In January 2022, I began working for a family with a 5 month old baby. I have worked for them since, and have travelled with them in the U.K and abroad.

Alongside all of these roles, but especially since moving to London, I have babysat on an adhoc basis for many families on a regular basis. I mainly look after babies and toddlers, and many of the roles have been for newborn babies. I have regular families who I babysit for and are happy to provide references.

I am able to provide excellent references for the families I have worked for.

I now work as a full time nanny for one 7 month old baby.


I have completed 12-hour Ofsted Approved paediatric first aid (March 2022) and Emergency First Aid (November 2020).
I am able to provide my enhanced DBS, first-aid certificates, and have a full driver's license.
I am triple Pfizer vaccinated.
