Nanny in Brighton (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
Hello lovely families! 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 at forest school nursery (outdoor all year round!) and facilitating art workshops.
As a trained birth and postnatal doula, I am well equipped to provide antenatal education, labour support, birth debriefs, 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.
Support Work/ SEN Nanny:
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:
Years as a holistic night nanny had 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. Ad-hoc or regular hours available.
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 currently support a solo parent with significant health needs with their evening routines with their toddler. 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. While being mindful of what makes her anxious, we go on walks in the local area. I sensitively assist with personal care, with consent and autonomy at the forefront.
