Charlie
Nanny in Brighton (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
Hi! I’m Charlie, I'm an experienced childcare practitioner, SEN nanny and doula. I have a background working in the baby room in nurseries, nannying young babies and supporting neurodiverse children and parents. I have also worked in forest schooling and facilitating art workshops.
Support Work/ SEN Nanny:
For the last two years I've been working as a PA for two adults with learning disabilities and mental health support needs. I love getting to know different people on an individual level and fitting in with people's lives and routines to provide autonomy-led support.
Postnatal Night Doula Services:
My night doula support is designed to give you some valuable rest while still working with your preferred choice of feeding. As a postnatal night doula I also provide emotional support and light household tasks to help you feel prepared for the morning.
My Experience
Working as a sole charge and shared care nanny and working in nurseries has made me a confident childcare practitioner. I have lots of experience with: infant feeding, sleep, baby massage, babywearing, teething, weaning and supporting neurodiverse children and parents. I also love cooking nutritious vegan and vegetarian meals and am happy to help out around the house.
Support Work/ SEN Nanny:
Currently I support a young woman with a learning disability in volunteering at a community allotment. I break down gardening tasks for her so she is best able to engage and enjoy the day. We use various communication tools together. I am led by her sensory experience of the world and by her interests such as music.
I also support a woman with autism and mental health needs in engaging in a wide range of activities such as drawing, painting, baking, yoga, dancing. We also complete household tasks together. While being mindful of what makes her anxious, we go on walks in the local area.
Both my roles involve personal care at times, which I assist with sensitively, with consent and autonomy at the forefront.
My Qualifications
I have Pediatric First Aid training, Enhanced DBs on the update service, safeguarding training and Food Hygiene Level 2. I also have completed courses in Safe Sleeping and Baby Massage.
