My Summary
About Me
Hello! My name is Cerys, and I am a 37-year-old mother to a wonderful 18-month-old boy. I am a self-employed nanny operating under my childcare business, Nanny by Nature. With a background in primary school teaching, I bring a wealth of experience in supporting children’s learning and development in a safe, nurturing environment.
At the start of this year, I transitioned into professional nannying and have since worked with several wonderful families, providing flexible and personalised childcare tailored to each child’s unique needs. My approach is rooted in patience, creativity, and a genuine love for helping children thrive—whether that’s through imaginative play, educational activities, or simply being a steady, caring presence.
As a former teacher, I have a strong understanding of childhood development and the importance of structure, consistency, and communication. I’m confident managing a range of ages and enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents.
Since becoming a mother, I’ve developed a deeper appreciation for hands-on childcare and the joys of nurturing a child’s development on a personal level. While I may not have formal nanny qualifications, my extensive teaching background, coupled with my own experience as a mum, provides me with a unique skill set to care for children in a warm, attentive, and professional manner.
In my free time, I enjoy keeping active by playing tennis and exploring the Surrey countryside. I also have a love for animals, sports, and traveling, which often inspires fun, engaging activities for little ones.
My Experience
I have worked in education for approximately 10 years, initially teaching English as a foreign language to young learners at an international school in Eastbourne. In addition to teaching, I participated in the school’s social activity programme and led excursions to renowned landmarks and attractions across the UK.
Following this, I returned to university to complete a PGCE in Primary Education. My teaching journey then took me to an inner-city school in Birmingham, where I taught a Year 3 class, and subsequently to Surrey, where I spent two years teaching Year 4. In 2019, I joined an independent school in Surbiton, teaching Year 3 and adopting the mastery approach to education. After a brief period teaching online, I returned to the classroom to work with a Year 5 class.
These experiences have equipped me with a wealth of knowledge and skills across various year groups, enabling me to employ a range of strategies to support pupils in their learning.
Raising my son over the past 18 months has been an incredibly rewarding experience, sparking a deep passion for childcare that I am excited to pursue in the future. If you’re looking for a reliable, experienced, and nurturing caregiver who brings both professional teaching expertise and the loving touch of a mother, I’d love to hear from you!
