My Summary

My Experience

Nanny | Private Family

After gaining experience working in a nursery setting, I moved into private childcare, caring for two children aged 1 and 4 when I started the role.

• Provided full daily care, following and maintaining the children’s individual routines and developmental needs.
• Planned and incorporated age-appropriate educational and creative play activities into their daily routine.
• Prepared and cooked healthy, balanced meals and managed feeding routines.
• Took the younger child to various activities and classes, as well as arranging opportunities to socialise with other nannies and children.
• Managed all aspects of the children’s personal care, including dressing, bathing and general hygiene.
• Maintained the children’s bedrooms, play areas, clothing and belongings, including laundry and tidying.
• Built strong relationships with the children, parents and other local nannies, helping to establish a positive and supportive social circle for the children.
• Left the position when both children began attending school full-time and the family no longer required a full-time nanny.

Nanny | Private Family

I cared for three children aged 7, 3 and 16 months, having cared for the youngest child from birth. This was a sole-charge position involving responsibility for the children’s daily care, development and routines.

• Managed school runs for the two older children, including morning drop-offs and afternoon collections.
• Provided full-time care for the youngest child throughout the day, organising activities and classes to support all areas of her development.
• Took the youngest child to gymnastics and arranged a variety of age-appropriate activities.
• Organised playdates with other nannies and families to encourage social development and confidence.
• Had sole responsibility for toilet training the 3-year-old, successfully establishing both daytime and nighttime independence.
• Planned, prepared and cooked healthy main meals and snacks for the children.
• Managed children’s laundry, changed bed linen and maintained their bedrooms and personal areas.
• Travelled with the family to their holiday homes, continuing to provide the same high standard of childcare and maintaining the children’s routines while away.
• Developed a strong and trusting relationship with the children and parents through consistent, attentive care.

• Prepare and serve healthy breakfasts, lunches, snacks and evening meals.
• Manage school morning routines, ensuring both children are dressed, organised and ready for school.
