My Summary

My Experience

I have been looking after children since I was 16, starting with my first family who had children aged 4, 7 and 10. Since then, I have regularly babysat and nannied for many different families, and I love building trusting relationships with both children and parents.

Alongside this, I cared for a young boy with a severe learning disability from the age of 2 up to 5 years old. This included taking him to and picking him up from his special education school, engaging with him and learning how he communicated, as he was non-verbal. I took the time to understand his individual needs and learned to recognise behaviours and cues to ensure his safety, comfort and wellbeing at all times.

For the past year, I have been nannying a little boy from the age of 8 months. I looked after him from 9–5 each day, supporting his development through play, learning, and encouraging his communication and social skills in a caring and supportive way.

My most recent nannying role involved caring for a little boy from 5 months old, and I am still nannying him now. He is currently 8.5 months old and will soon be starting with a childminder. Alongside this, I also do regular evening babysitting for children of all ages. Overall, my experience ranges from caring for children as young as 5 months old up to 14 years old, and I always aim to create a safe, fun and nurturing environment.
