About Me

I am a hard working, enthusiastic, warm person that's been working with children for many, many years. I pride myself on being someone that is easily approachable and able to connect with people of all ages and abilities.
Approximately 2 years ago I made the decision to resign from my, part-time, position as a Horse Riding Instructor, in order to persue a full-time career in one-to-one Childcare.
I have been/ am still employed, 3 days a week, as an after school nanny for an amazing 9 year old boy with multiple special/ complex care needs, so am now looking to take on a couple more days with a new family during term time, and or find some temporary work over the holidays.

My Experience

I have been working with/ teaching children for many years as a horse riding instructor, most recently at ‘The Stables Horse Activity Centre', an equestrian charity. While there I predominantly taught children, a large number of whom have special needs or some kind of mental/ physical disability.

More recently, I have been employed as a part-time after school nanny for an 9yr old boy, with multiple special/ complex care needs, for approximately the last 23 months.

I spent the summer working with another family, where I looked after a 6yr old boy and his 4yr old sister.

I also spent 2 days a week, in September and October, working as an after school nanny with another family. My role was to provide support, supervision and care for a 10yr old boy and his 14yr old sister with both special and complex care needs having suffered a stroke a year and a half ago.

My Qualifications

I have been working with/ teaching children for many years as a horse riding instructor. This includes my current employment as a weekend riding instructor at 'The Stables Horse Activity Centre', where I predominantly teach children, a large number of whom have special needs or some kind of mental/ physical disability. I have also been employed as a part-time after school nanny for an 9yr old boy, with multiple special/ complex care needs, for approximately the last 2 years.

My Availability

I am currently looking for/ available to take on temporary/ ad-hoc work as a babysitter/ after school nanny/ pt mother’s help.

Maisie looked after our son who has special needs after-school for 2 years. She is fantastic - reliable, resourceful and fun whilst also setting healthy boundaries. She built up great relationship with our son and we are so grateful for the laughter they shared.
