Sophie
Nanny in London (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
I’m a warm, caring and reliable nanny with over eight years of professional childcare experience, four of them specialising in twins. I have a background in Psychology and am currently completing my studies in psychotherapy, which has given me a strong understanding of children’s emotional wellbeing, development and individual needs.
I genuinely love working with children and building a trusting relationship with both children and their families. I’m patient, nurturing and enjoy creating a fun and stimulating environment where children feel safe, confident and encouraged to become independent.
I am Paediatric First Aid trained and also hold qualifications in understanding mental health, neurodiversity and autism. I have a particular interest in supporting children as individuals and adapting my approach to suit their personality, development and needs.
I also have a full UK driving licence and my own car, and I’m happy to help with cooking, children’s laundry, tidying and other general household tasks alongside childcare.
My Experience
I have specialised in caring for twins for the past four years, giving me extensive experience managing the needs and routines of two children at the same time. I have also cared for newborns, babies and toddlers, including supporting families through important milestones such as establishing routines, weaning onto solids and introducing new foods.
With toddlers and older children, my experience includes potty training, nursery and school drop-offs and pick-ups, homework, organising activities and outings, preparing meals, bath time and bedtime routines.
Alongside nannying, I have worked as a youth worker, where I ran cooking sessions for young girls aged 4–8 and mentored girls aged 14–18. This experience has strengthened my ability to communicate with children of different ages, build their confidence and provide a supportive and encouraging environment.
I’m comfortable taking responsibility for the day-to-day running of a child’s routine and enjoy being an extra pair of hands for parents. I’m also happy to help with age-appropriate activities, creative play, cooking, outings and keeping children’s spaces organised.
My Qualifications
Psychology Degree
Level Two Qualification Of Mental Health First Aid.
Level Two Qualification In Understanding Autism And Learning Difficulties
Pediatric First Aid Trained.
My Availability
I am currently studying on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so I am looking for part-time nannying work on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays. However, my training school takes a month off at Christmas alongside a long summer holiday in which I will have more availability.
I am also happy to help with some weekend childcare where my schedule allows, and I can be flexible with later evenings and staying late or sleeping over when needed.
I am ideally looking to build a long-term relationship with a family and become a reliable, trusted part of their routine. I’m happy to discuss different schedules and am open to finding an arrangement that works well for both the family and myself.
