Nanny in Penicuik (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
I’m a bubbly, caring, and creative person who genuinely loves working with people and bringing positive energy wherever I go.
I currently work as a Starbucks Supervisor, where I’ve gained experience in responsibility, teamwork, customer service, cash handling, and admin skills.
Alongside this, I continue to work as a self-employed nanny/babysitter because being around children is something I truly love.
I previously worked as a Playroom Assistant within a nursery, which gave me valuable childcare experience, but I quickly realised I much preferred the more personal 1-1 interaction that nannying brings. I love being able to give children my full attention while building genuine bonds with both the child and their family.
As an auntie to a very energetic 5-year-old, I’m very used to imaginative play, arts & crafts, bedtime stories, and keeping little minds entertained! I’m also very creative myself and create textured canvas art in my free time. If I’m not in the gym, I’m probably in the kitchen cooking — I absolutely love baking and would always enjoy including fun interactive learning through cooking and creative activities where possible.
For me, safety will always be my number one priority in any circumstance. I believe creating a safe environment means more than just being “kid-proof” it’s about creating a warm, comforting, trustworthy, and happy space where both children and parents feel completely safe, supported, and at ease. I always aim to build trust with families as quickly and naturally as possible so parents can feel confident knowing their children are being cared for with genuine kindness, patience, and attention. ?
