My Summary
About Me
Hi there, my name is Emma . I am 53 years old and live in Chessington with my partner of 25 years and our daughter. I have been nannying now for over 30 years and have experience with newborns right up to 17 years old. Very varied !! Alongside all the children i've looked after, my 20 year old daughter has kept me young at heart, even if she has added a large amount of grey hairs to the already existing ones ! Over the years i have proved myself to be a competent, trustworthy, reliable nanny. I`m outgoing and bubbly and probably a bit of a big kid at heart! I enjoy reading, listening to varied genres of music, going to concerts, football ( watching, not playing ! ) travelling with friends and visiting nice restaurants. If you read through my profile and feel that I could be the right fit for your family, please don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks.
My Experience
I currently work for a family in Raynes Park, looking after 2 children, 4 days a week. Unfortunately children grow up and as of October 2025 my current family will only need me 2 full days a week. I have worked for this family since June 2020, starting with an 11 month old progressing to today where I look after a 6 year old and an almost 4 year old. I do the usual nanny duties, i.e., school/nursery runs, washing/ironing the children's clothes and bedding, library/playgroup trips, cooking fresh meals....generally keeping the children happy, content and safe. In turn this allows Mum and Dad to go off to work knowing their children are in safe hands. My current employer is happy to provide references on request.
My previous experience includes:
Looking after 3 nursery/primary school aged children in Ashtead, aged 3, 5 and 7. My nanny duties included washing and ironing the childrens clothes and bedding, tidying bedrooms and a playroom, planning meals and making packed lunches, organising trips out and play dates, sole care of the children during holidays, sick days and inset days. I worked for this family from March 2017-June 2020, still babysitting on an adhoc basis when needed by Mum.
Looking after 3 children, one elder sibling from 1 years old and twins from birth in Thames Ditton, then Walton on the Hill when the family relocated. This job was from May 2018-March 2020Mum was on maternity leave for some of this time and we would alternate child caring duties meaning the older child always kept quality time with Mum and she knew the twins were in safe, capable hands.
Looking after one little girl, aged 11 months to begin with then helping Mum with the second child a few years later. This job was in Surbiton and was from January 2015-May 2018.
Looking after two little boys aged 3 and 5 in Putney from 2002-2015. When I started the role was all nannying duties, nursery/school drop offs and pick ups, organising play dates and trips out, cooking and keeping all the childrens clothes/uniforms clean,tidy and organised. As the boys grew older the role did change to incorporate housekeeping duties, but also to keep an eye on two teenage boys and make sure they were organised….a completely different challenge !
Initially looking after a 3 month and a 4 month old as a nanny share, then going with one family as two siblings came along. This job was from 1997-2002 and came to an end as they relocated to another part of the country. The family did have a fourth child whom I am godmother to and we do still see each other from time to time.
Looking after a 2 year old, then later her two siblings. This Swedish family relocated from Switzerland and it was important for me to help the little girl settle in a new country and familiarise herself with new areas, friends, etc. I worked for this family from 1994-1997, varying, days, hours, etc as their need changed, including 24 hour care when the parents travelled.

I can’t recommend Emma enough. Emma looked after my 3 children over 4 years; they were 2, 4 and 7 when she started with us. She was great with the children, reassuringly so, having to be away for work. Emma has a great routine with children, and whilst they slept/at school, she’d also be my house fairy- cleaning, washing, changing bedding and tidying up, preparing meals etc making life a whole lot easier. Emma is reliable, always on time, gets down to the children’s level, but also a great support for me. I can’t fault her. I’d happily chat to anyone by way of a reference.

Emma had sole charge of our son and quickly followed by arrival of twin daughters. Emma is a highly experienced professional nanny with a huge amount of experience. Absolutely nothing fazed her and I knew that our children were in the very best care with her. She was highly organised, confident and our children adored her. She brought fun and happiness to the house whenever she was around and she was a pleasure to have as part of our family. I’d be happy to chat with any families interested in hiring Emma, she would be a great addition to your family!

Emma has worked with us for over five years since June 2020 and has had sole charge of my two little girls (currently nearly 4 and 6 but she has worked with us since the eldest was aged 1). Emma is punctual and reliable. She brings fun energy to our house and our children adore her. She takes pride in her work and being a nanny is not just a job for her, it’s a vocation. Emma has always adopted our family’s style of parenting with the children so the children get a consistent approach across the caregivers; whether that meant implementing a baby schedule of sleeping and feeding or discipline as the children got older. She is kind, funny, and has endless energy to play with the children. Her approach is super kind but she has a good manner with the children and they behave impeccably for her. She fit into the family seamlessly and we couldn’t have managed the last five years without her. I can only echo what one of her referees told me five years ago - he said ‘if you have the chance to employ her, you definitely should!’ and that has been true every day. Please do contact me if you’d like to chat further about Emma or the process of hiring a nanny.
