My Summary

My Experience

I worked in a nursery - Busy Bees Mardley Hill Knebworth, for 3 years. I completed my NVQ and gained my experience working with children ages 0-5 years.

I became a nanny for a family friend who needed childcare for a year, I thought this was the perfect opportunity to gain my first years experience before starting with a family who I didn't know at all. The baby was 3 months old, and I worked full time, 9-5.
Duties included: cooking and preparing meals, bath time, baby groups, swimming lessons, taking the baby to appointments, PA, updating the mother with photos every day and general care. SOLE CHARGE.

I became a nanny for my second family who lived in Stotfold for 2 boys ages 2 years and 5 years, I stayed with this family for 2 and half years doing shift work. I stayed the nights, done weekends and week days. I had my own annex and became part of their family. Unfortunately I had to leave due to them no longer needing a nanny, however they were lovely and we remained to keep in touch.
Duties included: Activities at home, groups, homework, cooking there meals through out the day, bath time, bed time, school drop off and pick ups, weekend activities, ironing, making beds, washing the children's clothes and tidying there bedrooms, PA and general care. SOLE CHARGE.

I moved on to my third family who lived in Hitchin, 2 girls aged 3 years and 6 years, I worked flexible full time for a year and a half but then dropped to part time when I became pregnant. COVID 19 then happened and I became furloughed up until my maternity leave.
I then didn't want to return after taking a full years maternity leave due to wanting to spend as much time with my baby as possible, although the family were wonderful and I'd happily work for them in the future if ever needed.
Duties included: Tidying the children's bedrooms, washing there clothes, sorting there toy draws, school drop offs and pick ups, preparing meal times, making packed lunches, making sure school bags and homework was organised, bath times, bed times, potty training, occasional baby sitting in the evenings and general care - there activities were only ever at the weekends in which I majority of the time didn't work. SOLE CHARGE.

My fourth family was also in Hitchin, looking after a teenager aged 14 years and a girl aged 8 years. I only did the evenings 4pm - 8pm and was a NWOC role.
Monday - Thursday and do occasional over time on alternative weeks.
Duties include: School pick ups, making and preparing dinners, taking the teenager to football once an evening per week, activities for the girl in the holidays, making sure homework is complete, making sure school bags were sorted for the following day, bath time and bedtime. SOLE CHARGE.

My most current family I looked after there little girl in WGC for 8 months nanny sharing with my sister, who has now taken on my days. My reasons for sadly leaving was they needed more flexibility and I could not commit to this due to having my own little boy, as much as they were more than happy for me to bring him with me, my child's needs had changed over this period and it was to much of a journey and long day for my son to be tagging along, as kind as this was.
I left knowing I wasn't leaving them stuck, due to having my sister to fall onto the remaining days. I am very close with the family and still see the little girl and do occasional baby sits, the family are now very close with our family which is wonderful.

I have taken a break from work due to home/life changes with my son, however now iv found my feet a little more I am able to re start my work part time.

The role must be SOLE CHARGE.
