My Summary

My Experience

I bring a wide range of childcare experiences, having previously worked as a nanny, a therapeutic practitioner in children’s services, and as a hands-on mum of four. I’ve supported children of all ages—from newborns to teens—including those with additional needs, emotional challenges, and specific medical or dietary requirements.

As a nanny, I worked closely with families to manage daily routines, school runs, homework support, creative play, bedtime, hotel stays and longer breaks away —always creating a warm, safe, and structured environment.

I also have specific training and hands-on experience in managing food allergies and dietary restrictions. I’m confident preparing allergen-safe meals, using Epi /Jext Pens, and following care plans to ensure children's safety at all times.

I take pride in building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents—offering reliable, nurturing support that meets each family’s unique needs.
