My Summary

Experienced Nanny, Mum Of 2 And Nursery Manager

My Experience

My experience includes working as a nanny for several families, alongside many years in preschool settings and nursery management, caring for children from infancy through to school age. I've supported families with a wide range of lifestyles, from PhD students balancing their studies to an Olympian whose demanding training and competition schedule required complete flexibility, reliability and consistency.
My approach to childcare is centred around the individual child. I believe children learn best when they're engaged, interested and having fun, so I spend time getting to know each child's personality, interests and stage of development before planning activities that capture their imagination.
I'm passionate about child-led learning and love making everyday experiences educational without children even realising they're learning. Whether we're out exploring nature, baking together, building with blocks or reading a favourite story, there are always opportunities to develop language, confidence, problem-solving skills and independence.
Having worked with children of different ages, I'm confident adapting activities so siblings can all be involved. A single activity can easily be tailored to each child's developmental stage, allowing everyone to enjoy the experience together while learning at their own pace.
I'm experienced in establishing routines, supporting sleep, preparing healthy meals and snacks, school and nursery runs, potty training, behaviour guidance, and promoting independence through everyday tasks. I've also supported children with additional needs, adapting my approach to meet each child's individual strengths and requirements.
Above all, I believe childhood should be filled with fun, adventure and feeling safe. My aim is to create a warm, nurturing environment where children feel secure enough to explore, ask questions, grow in confidence and enjoy every stage of their development, while giving parents complete peace of mind that their children are happy, safe and well cared for.

My Qualifications

I have a Level 3 qualification in childcare,
I have paediatric first aid certificate,
I have an up to date DBS on the update service,
I have extensive training in all aspects of safeguarding, children's learning including the EYFS, health and safety as well as experience of looking after my own two children and helping with all aspects of running a home including cooking and cleaning.

My Availability

I'm available from early mornings and can be flexible to meet your family's needs wherever possible.

On Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, I would need to collect my own children—Hendrix from school and Freddie Bo from nursery—at 5:30pm. If you require childcare beyond this time, I'm more than happy to continue working. I would simply bring your child(ren) along on the school and nursery run before returning to your home or continuing with planned activities.

I'm also available for evening babysitting, overnight care (when arranged in advance) and weekend work. I'm happy to discuss regular or ad hoc hours and will always do my best to accommodate your family's schedule.

For the right family, I'd love to build a long-term relationship and provide reliable, consistent support. Where appropriate and with your agreement, I'd also be delighted for my own children to occasionally join us on outings or activities, giving the children the opportunity to build friendships and enjoy new experiences together. This would always be discussed in advance and only if it suited everyone.
