My Summary

My Experience

I have been a nanny for over ten years. I really love working with kids and I am happy to cook and do light house cleaning and admin as well.

In high school I taught Musical Theatre to 6 and 7 year olds. The summer after graduation I was an Au Pair in France for twin nine year old boys. I then moved to NYC, where I spent full days with a girl (8mos) and evenings with her brother (4). I'm comfortable with bottle feeding, nappy changes, nap time, and taking kids out in the city. I then joined SmartSitting Agency, where I worked for a year with a boy(6) and girl (13). I then worked for a year with a girl (3) and boy (5). Both of these jobs were after school jobs, where I took children to activities, coordinated play dates, engaged in creative play, and did the bed and bath time routine. In the summers, I also 'proxy parented' for these families, usually for a week at a time (both parents were out of state). I also travelled with these families, transported their pets, etc! I then had a job with three children, 9, 13, and 16, where my main responsibilities were homework help, family admin, taking kids to activities, etc. I then moved to Berlin to complete my undergraduate degree, and kept nannying but on a more casual basis. I spent full days with a little girl, getting her used to new people, taking her outside, playing, and feeding her meals. I also spent full days with a baby, and I bottle-fed him, put him down for naps, and took him out in the stroller. As he got older I picked him up from kita, took him to baby zumba, to the park, etc. I rotated between several families who needed occasional or once-a-week help for their babies. My last job in Berlin was again a more formal job, where I took care of 3 kids (1, 5, and 9) alongside a stay at home mom. I took the kids to activities like chess and ballet, took them to museums, baked things with them, made art projects, or spent the day at home with the baby. I also ran errands for the family and did very light housekeeping. I do not drive.

My Qualifications

Twelve years of consistently working with kids. I am experience with newborns to teenagers. I have also worked with kids with ADHD and mild seizures.

My Availability

Right now I'm completely free because I am just leaving university. I'm looking for work while I finish my book! Ideally, I'd have weekends free, but not the end of the world! I'd be okay with occasional or once/twice a week overnights.

My Fees

• Babysitting from £13.00 per hour
