My Summary
About Me
Degree educated - First Class BA Hons in Early Childhood Studies
2 Years experience Nannying
7 Years experience within Education
1 Year Nursery experience
*10 years experience within childcare*
I am a kind, creative, sensitive, nurturing and caring person. I am absolutely loving every minute of being a new Mum.
I am reliable, punctual, polite and good natured - possessing good people skills. I have strong communication skills through working with people of all ages, from adults to children.
I am a good team player, maintaining positive relationships with the staff and children I work with on a daily basis. I am a very creative person, and enjoy reading a wide variety of novels in my spare time, I have always loved writing, whether making notes from books or writing short stories. I am passionate about art as a hobby, and I enjoy drawing, watercolour painting and all aspects of art and crafts, I have exhibited my work and I also sell my art successfully online.
I enjoy yoga, practising mindfulness, and gardening. Being outside in nature makes me happy. I am also very organised, passionate and determined, attributes evidenced by my commitment to studying for a degree alongside full time work - and achieving the highest grades of distinction in each module -receiving a First class Honours.
My creativity and background in the arts means that I like to encourage children to have fun; be uninhibited, messy and utilise art as a tool to express themselves in a positive way. I also enjoy coming up with creative activities. I feel that the wealth of expertise and knowledge I have gained working as a Nanny/ teaching assistant/nursery assistant across ages (2-10) is a valuable asset. In this sense I am confident when interacting with children, behaviour management, and building positive, nurturing relationships with them.
I always wanted to work with children. I am an older sister, and I am the oldest of 9 cousins, and now being a new Mum has given me the ultimate fulfillment in life. Ever since childhood, I have always loved to look after, help and nurture children. I am committed to being the constant friendly face in children’s lives, making them smile, encouraging their learning and always listening to their point of view. I believe it is of the utmost importance to build strong relationships with children, being their positive role model and remaining a calm and secure presence within their lives – as my degree and career experience has taught me that emotional wellbeing is the building block for successful development to take place.
My Experience
I have 2 years of (sole charge) Nannying experience, looking after two young children and have worked within the field of childcare for 10 years. I have Montessori Nursery experience, working as a key person. I have worked as Teaching Assistant and HLTA, providing teaching cover within schools for 7 years: working with children as a responsible adult and role model, encouraging and shaping children into future positive members of our society. Teaching areas of the EYFS, KS1 and KS2 curriculum, working with groups and leading activities, supporting the class teacher. Organising classroom and resources, keeping learning environment tidy and accessible for the children.
My Qualifications
I hold a First class honours degree in BA (Hons) Early Childhood Studies. This evidences my knowledge, academic skills, my passion and my commitment to working with children.
I hold a Level 3 NVQ Diploma - Early Years educator. I also hold a BTEC Level 2 Employment Responsibilities and Rights in Health, Social care and Children and Young Peoples Settings’. I am pediatric first aid trained - my most recent First Aid qualification was awarded in 2024.

My Availability
I am currently a full time Mum to my beautiful son and I am looking for flexible, PT work to suit my little boy’s schedule. My ideal role would enable me to utilise my skills through tutoring and enhancing the children's development. I would also love the freedom to be creative, planning art activities. I would love to be able to take the children for walks and explore the outdoors. I would love to work with a kind and caring family, and feel like a valued member of the family too. My perfect role would allow me to make a difference to children's lives, and have the time to nurture, watch and help them grow.
