About Me

I am a warm, adaptable, and experienced nanny with a gentle parenting approach, always focused on helping children grow into confident, capable individuals. My aim is to support each child in gaining self-assurance, handling responsibility, learning how to overcome challenges, and becoming confident in their own judgment. I work in close partnership with parents to create a respectful, consistent, and nurturing environment that encourages autonomy and self-esteem.

I hold a full, clean automatic UK driver’s licence, am Paediatric First Aid trained, and have a valid DBS check.

My Experience

I have several years of hands-on childcare experience, working with children across a wide age range—from newborns and toddlers to teenagers. My background includes both nannying and youth work, giving me a broad and empathetic perspective on child development and support.

I have cared for newborns and toddlers, including twin infants, and am experienced in weaning, introducing baby-led feeding, and supporting the development of motor skills and coordination. I’ve also successfully supported children through key developmental milestones, including potty training.

Alongside my nannying work, I’ve been a youth worker and mentor, running a cooking workshop for girls aged 6–9 to help build confidence and life skills in a fun, supportive environment. I’ve also mentored teenage girls (14–18), supporting them in navigating decisions around education and employment, and facilitating open conversations around mental health, body image, and sex education.

This combination of early years care and youth development allows me to support children with warmth, structure, and age-appropriate guidance at every stage of their growth.

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 looking for a nannying position starting in September, available Monday through Friday, with occasional weekend cover if needed. I do have commitments to my counselling training, which takes place on Monday evenings from 6–9pm in Tooting, so I would need to finish work in time to commute depending on the location. I also attend training one full weekend per month (Saturday and Sunday).
