My Summary
Kind And Experienced Nanny Based In East Herts And North East London
About Me
*Currently in the process of becoming Ofsted registered, allowing eligible families to use Tax Free Childcare.
Hello! I am an experienced nanny with three years' experience caring for children aged 4 months to 5 years, including long term placements from infancy and summer holiday nannying. I also have two years' previous experience as a Special Educational Needs (SEN) Learning Support Assistant, supporting neurodivergent children aged 3 to 11 across school settings. I hold a First Class BSc in Psychology with Child Development and a Foundation in Play Therapy.
Driven by my natural rapport with children and my knowledge of child development and the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), I bring a calm, fun, child led and relationship centred approach. I love building warm, affectionate relationships where children feel comfortable coming to me for a cuddle, holding my hand when they need reassurance and being completely themselves, whether that's through imaginative play or simply being a bit silly together. I believe children thrive when they feel safe, understood and accepted for who they are.
Play is at the heart of what I do, building on each child's interests to support their development. One of my favourite experiences was reenacting Julia Donaldson's The Highway Rat with a child while listening to the soundtrack, turning her interest in the story into a fun, imaginative experience that naturally supported areas of the EYFS. I also love books, nursery rhymes and expressive storytelling and use these regularly to create a language rich environment.
My experience with neurodivergent children has strengthened my belief that there is no one size fits all approach to learning and development. My undergraduate research into ADHD, alongside my practical experience, has taught me the importance of understanding each child's individual way of learning, communicating and regulating.
These experiences have reinforced why I love being a nanny. The individualised care it offers allows me to build meaningful relationships with children and tailor my approach to each child's unique needs, which is exactly where I want to make a difference. This is why I have chosen to become a full time nanny and am now looking for a long term family to work with.
*Please note that I am a non driver, but am very confident getting out and about with children on public transport and using taxis when needed. I find public transport is a lovely way for children to experience the world around them, build confidence and independence, and it's kinder to the environment too!

Beth has worked with us as a nanny for our daughter Robin for two years, and our experience of her has been exceptional. She is everything I would hope for in a nanny; supremely warm, kind, present, thoughtful, and imaginative in her time with Robin. She has a natural ability to connect with children, and brings real care to the process every day.
The thing that has made Beth so indispensable to us is the bond she has built with Robin. Robin absolutely loves her, and their relationship feels secure, caring and genuinely joyful. Beth is very attuned to Robin’s personality and needs and takes a thoughtful interest in child development, routines, emotions and the specific things that help Robin feel safe and happy.
She is also lovely to have around as a family. She's calm, punctual, communicative, responsible and considerate. We have always felt very confident leaving Robin in her care. She has good judgement, keeps us well updated, and approaches the role with real dedication.
In short, we love Beth and feel very lucky to have had her as part of Robin’s life. I would absolutely recommend her - I'd be pleased to give a telephone reference to anyone who would like one.
