My Summary

Experienced, Qualified Primary Teacher Offering Bespoke In-Home (Nanny) Care

My Experience

I hold a Bachelor of Education (Honours) specialising in Art, incorporating both my creative practice and teaching art to children. Alongside teaching in primary schools and private nursery settings across London and abroad, I have supported children with special educational needs, provided online tuition for young learners, taught adult collage workshops locally, and delivered one-to-one support for a young person within their home.

When my two children (now 13 and 16) were small, I chose to be at home with them and established an Ofsted-registered childminding setting which was rated Outstanding. I recently re-registered as a childminder, but have decided to focus on home-based childcare (nannying). In this role, I aim to combine my professional teaching and early years experience with what I have learned as a parent to provide nurturing, flexible, and individualised care for families.

My Qualifications

* Bachelor of Education (Honours): Specialising in Art

* Enhanced DBS Check on the Update Service: Includes Children's Barred List clearance

* Ofsted Registered: Currently updating registration from childminder to home childcarer/nanny status

My Availability

I am particularly experienced in and enjoy caring for toddlers, preschool, and primary-aged children, though I remain flexible depending on a family’s specific needs.

Based in Berwick-upon-Tweed, I am available for positions locally (within a 30-mile radius) as well as locations along the direct train line, such as Dunbar, Morpeth, and Edinburgh.

Where train travel is involved, I am happy to consider roles within a comfortable walking distance of the station. Rates and expenses for non-local positions can be discussed based on travel time and hours required.

My Fees

• Nannying from £15.50 per hour (gross)

Payment terms, gross hourly rate, and employment contract details to be agreed with the employer, depending on hours, location, and requirements. Currently setting up voluntary Ofsted registration to accept Tax-Free Childcare and childcare vouchers.
