My Summary

My Experience

I have experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns through to 12 years, including siblings of different ages. My responsibilities have ranged from newborn care (feeding, changing, and settling routines), through supporting toddlers as they grew in independence, to engaging older children with creative, social, and educational activities.

I am confident managing daily routines and have often taken full responsibility for the home environment during extended periods, including meal preparation, children’s laundry, tidying after play, and ensuring a calm, safe space.

Beyond nannying, I have also worked with children in a variety of professional settings which have shaped my skills and understanding:
Early Years/Primary School Teacher (PGCE, QTS) – gained in-depth knowledge of children’s cognitive, social, and emotional development. Planned and delivered lessons and activities that encouraged curiosity, imagination, and independence, adapting learning to meet individual needs.

Children’s Sports Coach (Australia) – delivered after-school sports sessions and ran action-packed holiday camps. I loved inspiring children to stay active, healthy, and confident through fun, engaging physical activity.

Teaching Assistant in a primary school – supported children across Reception to Year 6 (4–11 years), including those with special educational needs and disabilities. Worked closely, including 1:1, with children, supporting not only their learning but also their emotional and social development.

‘Play Maker’ (character performer/children’s entertainer) – led imaginative play and performances for children under 12 and their families.

Dance teacher – taught children of all ages and achieved two IDTA Pre-Associate teaching exams with distinction.

In addition, I bring practical qualities that I know are important for this role: I hold an up-to-date DBS, a First Aid qualification, and a full UK driving licence. I am also a confident and proficient swimmer with life-guarding experience.
