My Summary
About Me
I am a mother of three, my daughter has just turned 23 and I have twin boys aged 20. My daughter was two and a half when my twins arrived, so I was a mum to three children within 30 months! I was a stay at home mum until my children were in years 7 and 5, up until this point I volunteered in their school classes as a helper at Samuel Lucas, this ranged from school trips, to making wartime costumes and Roman chariots and many more things.
My Experience
Before becoming a nanny, I previously worked as an early years practitioner in a very popular nursery in Hitchin for over 9 years, where I took care of 3-4 year olds. As a key worker I was the primary carer for group of children and was the first point of contact for any queries from parents. I oversaw each individual child’s care and needs and development, including nurturing, teaching and encouraging their curiosity and enabling their learning through active exploration, play, observation, experimentation and interaction with their environment and the people around them.
I decided to start Nannying in 2023 and currently have several families that I either nanny or babysit for regularly, some of which were in my group at the nursery.
I have added the references/testimonies that I have received over the past 3 years
My Qualifications
Various ongoing training to keep me updated, including safe guarding/keeping children safe, STEPS training to manage difficult behaviour, rhythm rhyme and repetition, (learning through movement and rhyme) and Mindfulness breathing techniques for children. I am paediatric first aid trained.
My Availability
I’m available all day and everyday, but would be happy to work 20 + hours per week
