My Summary
About Me
Originally from Aberdeen, Scotland, I am a dedicated and nurturing nanny with 20 years of experience caring for children from 5 months to 12 years old. I bring a fun, outgoing personality and a genuine passion for adventure and nature, which I enjoy sharing with the children in my care. My approach balances warmth and structure, ensuring children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to explore the world around them. I am committed to creating an environment where children can play, learn, and thrive to their fullest potential.
In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, exploring new places, exercising, and spending time with friends. This past summer, I travelled to South America, where I climbed Machu Picchu, explored the Amazon jungle, and took part in a homestay experience in Peru—an incredible adventure that deepened my love of travel and cultural experiences.
My Experience
I am an experienced childcare professional with over 20 years of childcare experience, including the past four years as a live-in nanny for a family in Putney. My background spans a wide range of early years care and education, from working in both private and school nurseries to providing home-based care for a critically ill child, as well as running my own successful childminding business for eight years. Throughout my career, I have supported children and families through all stages of development, fostering nurturing, safe, and structured environments.
Key Areas of Experience:
• Supporting transitions such as moving house, starting school, and welcoming a new sibling
• Infant care including bottle feeding, weaning, and establishing healthy sleep and feeding routines
• Potty training and promoting independence in daily activities
• Emotional regulation, helping children manage and understand their feelings
• Planning age-appropriate play, learning activities, and playdates
• Meal planning and preparation of nutritious, balanced meals
• Sole-charge care, confidently managing children’s routines and wellbeing in parents’ absence
• Broad age-range experience, from 5 months through to 12 years old
• Ongoing professional development and continuous childcare training
I pride myself on building positive relationships with both children and parents, offering reliable, flexible, and nurturing care that supports children’s growth, development, and wellbeing.
