My Summary
About Me
Hello!
I'm a 25-year-old with a passion for creating a nurturing environment for children. My love for games, special interest in Montessori education, and enthusiasm for art, guide my approach to childcare. Based in Oxford, I bring creativity and a holistic approach to make learning enjoyable for kids. Excited to contribute positively to their growth and development!
I am originally from Zimbabwe and can speak fluent English and Shona. I can teach basic sign-language to babies (words such as mama, water, daddy, please, thank you, hungry, I’m sorry).
My hobbies include:
•crochet
•reading
•scrapbooking
•baking
•camping
•arts and crafts
•messy play
And much more! These hobbies play a key role in my childcare abilities as it creates an arty and entertaining environment for the children I care for.
My Experience
I have been working in nannying and general childcare since 2017. I started as a freelance babysitter in the Northamptonshire area but I also have experience being a camp leader for children between the ages of 4-12.
2019-2021
Practiced as a midwifery student.
2021 - 2022
I worked as a Nursery Teacher focusing in the baby room which started at ages as young as 4months to 14 months.
2022-2023
Worked as a Montessori nursery teacher in Cambridge where we focused on Montessori values and teaching. My main classroom was the preschool room which are aged 2-4 but I also helped with the rest of the ages (between 6 months to 4 years). This involved planning day trips with the children as well as baking, cooking, cleaning, potty training, and organising Montessori led activities plus much more!
2024 - 2026
During the last 2 years I have become a Nanny to 3 different families with different dynamics. Ages ranging from 9 months to 6 years old! Although, I can appreciate the uprising in screen time usage with children. My goal is to keep them occupied using their creativity and their hands! I frequently take the children out for colour walks, to the park, to the library, or a simple picnic in the garden! With the help of the children in my care we also indulge in a lot of arts and crafts, whether that be painting, drawing, or creating! A favourite game I have with most of the children in my care (granted they are age appropriate) is to build pillow forts and play make-believe with dress up costumes.
