My Summary

My Experience

I have 4 years of childcare experience through nannying, babysitting and working with groups of children. I have cared for children aged 3–12 and enjoy supporting their daily routines while creating a safe, positive and engaging environment.

I have worked as a nanny for several families, providing sole charge care including school runs, preparing meals, helping with homework and organising fun activities and outings. I have also provided overnight care and full-time childcare while parents were away, ensuring routines were followed and the children felt comfortable and supported.

In addition to nannying, I worked as a Group Leader at Camp Beaumont, supervising groups of around 10 children aged 3–12. In this role, I organised games, sports, creative activities and team challenges while encouraging confidence, teamwork and positive behaviour.

I also have experience supporting children with learning needs, providing one-to-one English and Maths support for a child with dyslexia and adapting activities to suit their learning style.

Alongside my practical experience, I completed the Freckles Junior Nanny Course, a five-day residential training programme covering baby care (0–12 months), children’s emotional wellbeing, family cooking and nutrition, and the foundations of professional nannying.
Families I work with often describe me as calm, patient, organised and reliable. I enjoy helping children explore their interests, whether that’s outdoor activities, creative play, reading or games, while ensuring they feel safe, supported and happy.
