My Summary

Montessori Early Years Nanny

My Experience

My superpowers: creativity, cookery, nurturing and being imaginative.

My role as a Nanny, I have provided childcare for one or more children, including infants (<1). My recent role includes looking after a 18 months old (b), who I have cared for since he was 10 months old. Before this role, I looked after a 30 months old (b), who I have also cared for since he was 10 months old. Outside my role as a Nanny, I have also provided babysitting services to several families.
From this, I have built positive relationships with these families, and still keep in contact via babysitting.

My main responsibilities include, supporting care routines (promoting independence), spontaneous to planned outings (I support local community events and seasonal events), and arranging play dates. I enjoy creating play spaces in alignment with the child’s interest and development, extending and reinforcing learning through play.

My early interest in children blossomed from working at a Montessori nursery as a full time Early Years Practitioner. Following my nanny roles, I progressed to the position of Room Leader. My main responsibilities in a nursery setting includes: ensuring each child reaches their full potential, by following a curriculum that is equally unique and bespoke to each child. This is supported by enriched, challenging, and developmental experiences. Additionally, building positive relationships with parents/carers, looking after children's physical health, and being mindful of safeguarding and health and safety guidelines. My experience is predominately based on working with babies and toddlers. However, I have also supported children with Special Educational Needs (SEN), and reception aged children with phonics and maths in a primary school as part of my Early Years Teacher training placement.

Expectations:
- Dedication to work in partnership with parents/carers; to communicate openly about their child's development and explore ways to support learning at home.

I offer mentoring and support on child development and common challenges in early years.

- Open to parents/carers who are curious about Montessori parenting and education/values

Testimonials

Child A, Nanny (Part time/Full time) + Babysitting
Natalie is amazing with children, a pleasure to have her in our home. My son and my whole family love her. She is full of energy and life, and has gone over and above; designing activities for child A according to his interest and development.


Child T, Nanny (Part time) + babysitting
Natalie is a passionate carer and educator who went above and beyond for nearly 2 years that she cared for our child. As a Montessori practitioner, she took careful note of our child's interests and developmental stages, providing materials to support his growth. She did this with laughter and warmth, offering hugs and cheers of encouragement. Any child who spends time with Natalie is very lucky and will remember her for years to come.

Child S, Ad hoc Nanny + Occasionally babysitting
We absolutely love working with Natalie. She has an incredible bond with our daughter, who simply adores her. Natalie has a warm, patient, and nurturing nature that truly resonates with children. She excels at engaging our daughter through imaginative role play, sensory activities, and fosters her independence with care and safety. One of the most remarkable things about Natalie is her ability to get our little one to sleep earlier than we ever can—no small feat!

Natalie has been with our daughter since she was just 6 months old (she’s now 2 and a half), and it’s clear how strong their connection is. Our daughter talks about her constantly, even after long stretches without seeing her. It’s always a delight for us to see Natalie and I can’t recommend her enough.

Early Years Practitioner (Full-time)
Thank you for setting a great example for the team with the amazing activities in baby room. I have been blown away by your contributions. You come up with fantastic engaging ideas, and have a mind for details, taking into consideration children's personalities, likes and dislikes. You perform well under pressure and bring so much positivity to your work. The way you speak to children is inspiring.

Looking forward to hearing from you
