My Summary

My Experience

I am a fully qualified Nanny & Teaching Assistant and have been living in Spain for several years. Since Sept 2017, I was working as a private Tutor teaching children who are spanish - english and mathematics. I also worked as a Nanny around this role . The children's ages have ranged between 4 years to 15 years.

Prior to this, i would fly out to Barcelona on a regular basis, to nanny / tutor for a Russian family. I would teach English through play and other means. Their daughter was in reception class and attended a British School.

I hold numerous qualifications relating to childcare & teaching but also with the elderly and sheltered housing. I am a specialist carer with special care babies and children.

I have extensive experience with newborn and newborn twins. Cared for many children who have special educational needs or behavioural and emotional difficulties! I fostered a severely brain damaged baby , sadly the result of shaken baby syndrome. She was diagnosed with cerebral palsy, epilepsy, visual impairment, with a limited life expectancy. Due to spasms and other such orthopaedic problems, she wore a hip spica for several months, which required special care and attention. I am committed to delivering a high level of quality care.

My experience spans many years, whereby I have worked with children with a range of complex needs.
Visual impairment , moderate to severe learning difficulties , Aspergers syndrome, autism , ADHD , dyspraxia , dyslexia etc etc.

I have had the pleasure of working for many high profile individuals, actors, musicians, a model and corporate business persons. A night nanny for a premier league footballer in the West Midlands, providing overnight, sole charge care, of his 11 week premature baby - 3 nights a week - the contract 3 months.

As a Magistrate of 12 years, I supported the local community. I resided in The Birmingham Victoria Law courts and also the Priory Courts as a family Magistrate. I was a Foster Carer for over 14 years. This fitted in around my nannying work, much of which was through a Nanny Agency in the West Midlands.

I have raised 3 siblings from the age of 2.5 years, 3.5 years and 4.5 years. They are now, 20, 21 and 22 years of age! My husband and I fostered the children initially but then became their legal guardians. Two of the children were diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis NF1.

I hold a clean UK , enhanced DBS, am Ofsted registered and hold a full clean UK driving licence.

I flew over to the UK on 11th Feb 2021. Motivated to help, during the coronavirus pandemic.
I liaised with a Doctor who lived in Bahrain. She was flying to the UK to take up a new position at a local Birmingham hospital. I worked with her 2.5 year old twins, a boy & girl. They were 3 years old in May 2021.

I attended to all the personal needs of the twins, preparing and serving up meals , showering, dressing and settling down to bed . This included toilet training and getting them both out of nappies , in preparation for starting nursery September. Encouraged self help skills , provided learning opportunities, education and outings . The children and I had an excellent rapport. From day one, we got on like a house on fire! They were truly delightful and an absolute pleasure to work with!!
I finished with the family on 23rd June 2021. I supported two families throughout June / July and odd days in August .

I have continued to support families in one way or another, including Night Nanny . 3 overnights per week for a consultant and his wife in Moseley, their baby was aged 5 months.
I also provided 4 overnights per week for a family with newborn baby twins. I worked with this family from November 2021 - 22nd April 2022. The twins were 4 weeks old when I went to work with them .
