My Summary

My Experience

During COVID, I looked after my baby niece Esme when she was only months old and helped her growth and development, alongside many of my family members' young children on babysitting duties. I'd often take them out on nature walks, letting them explore the scenery around them, and interact with people and animals that we came across.
My experience working in the hospital has gained me valuable insight into caring for young children from babies to teenagers, where I have to instantly form a bond with them in the first couple of minutes. If I can x-ray a crying toddler, I think I can do anything.

Despite my lack of job experience in childcare, I'm fully confident that I can provide a great service to the families who put their trust in me to care for their little ones. My aspirations include nurturing them to become independent, intelligent, respectful, and caring young people by taking them outside on 'adventures' and allowing them to explore the world with me accompanying them. Basic manners are expected and I don't shy away from being stern when necessary. As parents, I understand you have your own ideas on how you'd like your children to be raised and I aim to work alongside your ideas and incorporate my own to nurture your children to be great little people.
Some of my ideas include: strolls and picnics in the park, myself and your children playing with other young children in the park (imaginative play), talking/babbling to elderly people, reading in the library, bird watching/feeding, soft play, baking healthy snacks, pretend-play-but-they-help-with-chores-slowly, grocery-shopping-but-make-it-fun, water activities e.g swimming lessons, and a whole realm of what the world can offer.

Although I don't have a driving license, I believe utilising public transport will benefit the children more so that they can experience other people and watch the scenery go by with open narrative from myself where I can put all my focus and attention on them without driving. They understand the concept of time and distance better if they're the ones making the active effort to travel by public transport too.

My Availability

As I'm a new nanny, I'm reaching out to families who need me at any point throughout the week to begin with and I'm flexible on the hours that I can do. I'm very much used to working long hours from the hospital, such as 8am-8pm day shift, 8pm-8am night shift, 9-5s, 4pm-12am shifts,weekends and bank holidays, so I'm open to what's best for the parents.

My Fees

• Babysitting from £13.00 per hour
• Nannying from £13.00 per hour (gross)

As I'll be a newly reformed ex-diagnostic radiography nanny, my fees will be priced at £13 an hour to begin with due to my lack of nanny-care experience. With my healthcare background, I don't want to sell myself short as I was getting paid £17.67 an hour in my radiography job, which I hope I will surpass in the future as an experienced nanny
