Nanny in Ardingly (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
Hi, I'm a reliable and friendly, with a genuine love for working with children. I’m patient, responsible, and always make sure kids feel safe, happy, and entertained while in my care. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, or sticking to bedtime routines, I always put the child’s needs first. Parents can trust me to be punctual, respectful, and caring at all times.
My Experience
I have been working in childcare since 2023, gaining experience with children from newborns through to 13 years old through both nannying and babysitting roles.
I previously worked as a nanny for a family with three boys, aged 4, 9 and 13. My responsibilities included school pickups, preparing meals, helping with homework, organising activities and managing evening routines.
More recently, I worked with a family of three girls, aged newborn, 2 and 4. This involved supporting the family following the arrival of their newborn, primarily caring for the two older girls, organising activities and managing bath and bedtime routines.
Throughout my childcare experience, I have also supported children with behavioural challenges, helping them manage big emotions and encouraging positive behaviour through patience, consistency and understanding.
I am a warm, caring and reliable person who genuinely loves working with children. I particularly enjoy building strong relationships with the children in my care and creating a happy, nurturing environment where they feel safe, supported and encouraged to grow.
My Qualifications
Although I don’t hold formal childcare qualifications, I have gained extensive hands-on experience working with children from newborns to 13 years old since 2023. This includes nannying, babysitting and volunteering in nursery and primary school settings. I hold an Enhanced DBS certificate and a Paediatric First Aid qualification. My experience has equipped me with the skills to confidently manage routines, support children’s development and provide a safe, nurturing environment.
My Availability
I’m available throughout the day, including evenings and weekends, and have plenty of flexibility during the school holidays. I’m happy to work around your schedule and provide reliable, consistent childcare whenever you need it, whether it’s during the day, for an evening out, or at the weekend.
