Jacky
Nanny in Brighton (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
Hi, my name is Jacky, I am 38 years old and I like to organise my life in dedicated child-care phases, where I live with a family for a certain amount of time where I dedicate myself to supporting the family harmony and focus on nurturing the children - and then I spend some time off where I focus on myself and my own projects or I go travelling.
I am a very creative and playful person, which means it is very easy for me to connect to children of all ages, because I can just join in their games or help facilitate arts and crafts activities.
I also enjoy nature and the outdoors so I love taking kids on a wander and go explore different neighbourhoods.
I am half German, half English and I speak 5 languages in total. I love to learn new things and I enjoy teaching children about all kinds of things in life. I am passionate about nurturing children to become self-confident young people who have emotional intelligence and who feel capable to navigate the world and their lives with strength and compassion.
I kind of love to find out what a child's special interest or gift is and then nurture them as much as I can to really build them up, so they can make this thing their own, so they feel proud and enriched.
I just want to add that I believe that raising children in a nuclear family is extremely difficult because in my experience it takes a village. That is why I see my role as helping the parents (esp. the mothers) thrive in their role as care-taker, so they don't feel like they are drowning between work, household and giving the children the attention and care they deserve.
My Experience
I've worked as a nanny on and off for the last 15 years in different settings. Last year I worked as a live-in Nanny for 7 months in Manchester, where I primarily cared for a newborn baby whilst supporting the mother with the toddler in all kinds of other household tasks. I have helped care for over 10 babies in the last 15 years but I am also very experienced in looking after toddlers and older children. I used to live in Berlin where I regularly ran children's craft workshops because at my heart I am an artist and I love sharing this passion with children. I am also really into the outdoors and would love to organise some forest-school type activities. Other than that I am passionate about teaching children life-skills early and empower them to be more self-actualised and capable to pursue their interests and passions early in life. I think this is a great foundation to learn about their gifts in life and how to nurture them early as preparation for adulthood.
My Qualifications
My qualifications are my experience. I started looking after babies and toddlers when I was 11 and I have continued to do so in different contexts my whole life.
I have a lot of experience organising and facilitating different kinds of kids workshops.
My Availability
I am available from the end of March onwards roughly until the end of June, but my plans might change and I might be available for a longer time-frame.
My Fees
- Babysitting from £16.00 per hour
- Nannying from £16.00 per hour (gross)
I charge £500 per week as a live-in Nanny looking after 2 children.
For one child my fee can be reduced. My fee can also be reduced if there are parts of the day where I am sharing child-care duties with the mother (eg. when I am not the sole carer for a child)
