My Summary

Nanny/Babysitter

My Experience

I am a caring, reliable and responsible childcare professional with a strong background in nursery care, one-to-one support and private childcare. I am organised, patient and approachable, with a genuine passion for creating a safe, happy and stimulating environment for children.

I have over a year’s experience caring for a toddler and a 4–5-year-old, supporting them with their daily routines, development and wellbeing. My responsibilities included school and nursery drop-offs and collections, attending baby and toddler classes, organising age-appropriate activities and days out, preparing meals and snacks, managing nap times and maintaining consistent daily routines. I also supported with household tasks such as cleaning, laundry, tidying and keeping the children’s spaces organised.

Since Covid, I have worked as a Nursery Assistant, with specific responsibility for providing one-to-one care for children with special educational needs, including children requiring more complex and individualised support. This has developed my patience, empathy, communication skills and ability to adapt my approach to meet each child’s individual needs.

I also previously ran my own café bakery business, where I managed a team of five employees. This experience developed my strong organisational, time-management and practical skills. I am an accomplished baker and confident cook, and I am comfortable preparing fresh, nutritious meals and snacks for children. I also understand the importance of maintaining high standards of cleanliness, hygiene and safety within the home.
