Nanny in Dorchester
My Summary
About Me
I am a flexible, down-to-earth mum of three with a deep passion for childcare. I love exploring the outdoors with children, but I am equally creative at pivoting to fun indoor activities when the British weather disrupts our plans! Child social interactions are an important part of development and I am willing to attend classes/ groups to help promote this for your child. Following the birth of my third child in November 2025, I am seeking a rewarding nanny position that aligns with my family life. I understand that introducing a stranger into your home is a daunting experience. When you trust me with your children, you hand over your entire world. I promise to care for them exactly as I do my own. I view my role not as a replacement for you, but as a supportive extension of your family.
My Experience
I have over 20 years of experience in childcare, beginning my career as a private nanny. I worked in both full- and part-time roles—often providing extra babysitting—and left each family with fond memories and lasting relationships.To bridge the gap while searching for a new family, I took a part-time role as a preschool practitioner and ended up staying for 14 successful years. During my time there, I progressed to Deputy Manager for 1.5 years, and ultimately managed the entire setting for my final four years.I possess extensive expertise in Early Years care, including speech and language development, behaviour management, SEND support, safeguarding, paediatric first aid, and toilet training.
