Charlie
Nanny in Brighton (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
Hello lovely families! I’m Charlie, I'm an experienced holistic nanny, trained birth & postnatal doula, and I also have some availability for babysitting. I have a background working in the baby room in nurseries, nannying babies and toddlers, supporting neurodiverse children and parents and working as an after school nanny. I have also worked at a forest school nursery (outdoor all year round!) and facilitating art workshops.
I offer nanny share sessions to make things a bit more affordable for parents, which keeps the cost of having a nanny similar to local nursery prices.
As a trained doula, I am also well equipped to provide postnatal emotional support, newborn care and breastfeeding/ chestfeeding guidance and signposting.
I love:
- Facilitating outdoor and creative play.
- Coming up with play ideas based on your child's developmental stage.
- Using knowledge of schemas to understand children and come up with play provocations.
- Using baby massage to alleviate tummy pain or help calm little ones.
- Supporting the whole family practically and emotionally.
- Cooking and meal prepping tasty nutritional vegetarian meals.
I also have over 2 years working with 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.
Night Doula Offering:
Working as a holistic night nanny has made me knowledgeable around infant sleep. My night doula support is designed to give you some valuable rest while still working around your preferred choice of feeding. As a postnatal night doula I also provide emotional support and complete 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.
Alongside my postnatal work, I currently support a solo parent with significant health needs with their evening routines with their one year old.
My Qualifications
I trained to be a doula with Developing Doulas. I am a member of Doula UK, engaged with the Conscious Birthing mentoring process and part of the Lewes Birth Collective.
I have Paediatric 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.
I am currently studying Introduction to Counselling at a local college.
Neurodiversity training with Project Artworks Collective:
