My Summary
About Me
Currently employed but available for evening babysitting.
Calling all parents in need of a OFSTED registered, energetic, experienced and fun filled nanny.
I'm a nanny with 10 years experience of sole charge care to include proxy parenting, multiple child care, travel nannying abroad and Nanny PA duties.
I love my job and believe there is no greater pleasure than helping a family to raise and support their children with love and care.
I'm a car driver with clean licence and a DBS and regularly updated First Aid training.
I'm organised, fun and approachable with a knack for being able to bond with children quickly. I'm used to taking sole charge and communicating with schools, completing homework, potty training, teaching through play, weaning, attending classes and building a friendship network to make up a well rounded and balanced week for your child.
I’m currently available for full time employment from May 2022.
My Experience
I thoroughly enjoy what I do and have been lucky enough to have nannied full time for a bundle of fantastic children who have taught me as much as I have taught them.
What I can promise you, that can’t be obtained in the form of a qualification is that I will love your children, hard. I’ll be there when they fall over, I’ll hold their hands while they explore the world and I’ll be their best friend at every turn. I’ll be your link to them when you’re not able to be there and I’ll fit into your family to support you all however you may need it.
I started my career volunteering in rotation at Datchet St Mary's Nursery, Little Monkey's Nursery in Windsor and Manor Green Special needs School in Maidenhead all of which taught me something different moving room to room to gain experience for three months in each setting. I completed my volunteer work while studying for my BND in Health and Social care which I passed with Distinction.
During the last 10 years I've held a variety of positions working with children from 6 months to 10 years old.
In each and every job nannying requires something a little different. Adaptability is a key factor and it's seen me potty training 4 children, crying (secretly!) on the first day of school for 3 children, weaning (both traditional and BLW for a handful of hungry mouths, learning football skills for two boys and trying to keep up with the cool kids for my eldest two charges.
There's something really lovely about moulding your skills as a nanny to suit your individual families needs. I'm as comfortable sleep training and weaning as I am attending modelling castings for my oldest charges or trampling through the forest - two days are really never the same but I hope that I come into every variety of situation with excitement, knowledge and enthusiasm for a job I've always known, and always loved.
To detail and outline each job and it's requirements would make for lengthy reading but I would love to discuss my experience more with you and show you my references for you to read through too.
I regularly update my training with a variety of courses and my DBS and First Aid certificates are always up to date in my own time.
Please do drop me a mesaage and say hi if you feel we could be a good match for eachother.

Laura was fantastic with my children and built up an excellent rapport with them in a very short amount of time. She has a very friendly manner and encourages the children to engage effectively. I will be using her services again shortly.
