My Summary

My Experience

I have vast experience of childcare and working with children. My most recent role was a nanny for a family in Australia. Prior to this I was a family support practitioner, this role includes working along side families with children aged 0-18. In this role i worked closely with the children in a supportive and therapeutic manner in order to identify any needs and challenges they are facing and work with multiple agencies to apply change.

Alongside this i have been a qualified dance teacher for 8 years. In this role I have worked with children aged 3-18 creating a fun and safe learning environment. I am able to keep the focus and attention of 15+ students in a class while continuing to adhere to health and safety guidelines. While at university, I worked part time as agency staff for multiple local nurseries. During this role I was a supporting member of staff for the nursery teachers. Here I learned various learning through play skills as well as supporting toddlers in developing their independence.

My most valuable asset to bring to nannying though, is the fact that I am the daughter of a foster carer. This means that for the past 9 years I have taken on the role of secondary carer and lived with children from newborn to teenagers. Through this I have developed a vast skill set in all aspects of caring for children, including bottle making/feeding, nappy changing, food weening, understanding of developmental milestones, ways in which to develop gross/fine motorskills, caring for children with neurodiversities, supporting children in building relationships with peers, the importance of routines and most importantly dealing with teenage hormones!
