Nanny in East Ruston
My Summary
About Me
I’m a very reliable, trustworthy, enthusiastic and bubbly person, who provides a positive attitude to your child’s wellbeing. I’m passionate about my role as a nanny and find it very rewarding watching the children you care for grow and flourish before your eyes, knowing you’ve helped them along the way.
I take my role seriously, and I like to keep busy. I thrive on a productive day! I help children with homework, reading, and enjoy doing messy/sensory activities with babies and toddlers.
I love to cook, and I think it’s important that the children I care for fully engage and enjoy cooking as much as I do.
I love all sorts of art and crafts activities, nature learning, scavenger hunts, and pond dipping! I feel it’s important that children appreciate the world around them, getting hands on with nature is really important, not forgetting that fresh air helps too!
I’m confident with taking children to play groups, soft plays, National trusts, the beach, farm etc and with using public transport or a nanny car if provided.
I have two large portfolios showing all the work I’ve done with babies and toddlers that have been in my care over the years. This includes messy and sensory activities that will help with their development, themed fun party activities, along with other ideas. These come in handy especially during the school holidays!
I have also built up some fun educational activities for little ones to engage and explore
and have a large seasonal art and craft portfolio which also includes educational games that I have created to help support them for when they start school. I am happy to bring these to any potential interview for parents to look through.
I’m constantly thinking of fresh, new and original ideas that will help support children, giving them a head start before a new chapter in their life starts.
My Experience
I’m fully qualified with over 15 + years experience as a sole charge nanny. I started my career in a private day care nursery in London, where I completed my NVQ CACHE awards. I was then approached by a parent to care and nanny for their daughter where I stayed for the next 7 years until I left to start a family of my own.
My daughter is now in full time school so I’m looking for full time, sole charge work and a permanent role.
