My Summary

My Experience

I have gained a wide range of experience during my childcare career.

As a nanny I have provided fulltime, sole charge care to children aged between 8 months and 13 years of age. I have been fully responsible for the children's care, providing age appropriate activities and organising suitable days out and visits to local places. I have sourced local groups to attend with the children and taken children swimming.

Additionally I have been responsible for cooking healthy meals for the children, ensuring they are offered a balanced, varied diet. I have also taken care of the children's laundry and bedding changes.

At the beginning of my career I spent time working in nurseries where I joined as a nursery nurse and worked my way up to take on the role of manager. I have managed 5 nurseries in total.

I was responsible for the following;
• Monitoring children’s development and progress
• Extending children’s learning through playing and interacting with them
• Modelling good childcare practice through meaningful interactions with children
• Ensuring the implementation of the EYFS
• Taking the lead in all safeguarding matters including attending and playing an active role in core group meetings and child protection conferences
