My Summary
About Me
Hello! I'm a Level 3 qualified Early Years Educator with over 9 years of experience working with children from babies through to teenagers in a variety of settings.
My experience includes working as a nanny, in nursery and preschool settings, and as a teacher and tutor in both primary and secondary schools. This means I can adapt to each child's individual needs, whether that's providing nurturing care for younger children, supporting school-aged children with homework, or offering engaging educational activities.
As a nanny, I can provide a safe, caring and stimulating environment, including preparing meals, organising creative and outdoor activities, establishing routines, school runs, bedtime routines, and supporting children's emotional and social development.
My Early Years background means I understand child development and the importance of learning through play. I enjoy planning activities that encourage curiosity, creativity and confidence while following each child's interests.
Alongside childcare, I also offer tutoring and educational support. I have experience teaching children from Key Stage 2 through to A-Level, helping with homework, exam preparation and building confidence across a range of subjects.
Being bilingual in English and Spanish, I can also introduce children to Spanish naturally through games, songs, stories and everyday conversation, or provide more structured language support if desired.
I am currently studying a BA (Hons) in Language Studies with the Open University, with a particular interest in linguistics and language acquisition. My studies deepen my understanding of how children develop language and communication skills, allowing me to support their learning in an informed and engaging way. I am also learning French and would be delighted to share this with children through fun activities and simple everyday language, helping to foster an interest in languages from an early age.
Above all, I am passionate about creating a warm, positive and engaging environment where children feel safe, valued and encouraged to reach their full potential.
