Nanny in Southwick (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
I am a very enthusiastic person who is always willing to learn and tries very hard to be of use to community and environment. I am a naturally cheerful, capable, adaptable person with good teamwork and interpersonal skills developed in my previous employments. I love spending time with children and find it very stimulating and rewarding. I care about child's emotional, social and physical development and try to find the best way how to teach the child to be a self confident, lovely little person who likes to socialise with friends and family.
My Experience
I have learnt the most about children when I was an au-pair looking after two girls (9 moths and 3 years old). While looking after these girls I noticed that they need explaining, patience, love and reassurance more than anyone else. It was not all about playing games although it meant a lot.
Working as a housekeeper gave me plenty of experience about keeping the place nice, tidy and clean. While living with an elderly lady, I’ve improved my cooking skills as I was preparing different dishes throughout the day, including dinner meals. I have gained confidence and experience while dealing with everyday household complications and problems.
I have gained important experiences of working with children in various settings within Hopscotch Nursery. I am fascinated and challenged by how children develop, learn and interact. Teaching and learning strategies and styles are constantly developing and I feel curious about witnessing how the theory comes into the practice and how these styles and strategies help towards child’s growth and progress. I have worked with children of varying ages and abilities mainly in small group situations, and can offer a caring attitude, patience, an interest in creative activities and music.
