Finn
Nanny in Oxford (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
Hi, I’m Finn! I’m 23 and have just finished my masters in Psychology and Neuroscience (MSci) at the University of Bristol. During my degree, I developed a real interest in child development, particularly how being a calm, attentive presence and offering patience and genuine support help children feel secure enough to be themselves and thrive. It’s something that shapes how I show up with kids day to day, not just something I studied.
Since the end of August, I’ve been nannying for four families on a weekly basis, caring for children who are neurodivergent and have additional needs. I’ve loved getting to know each child as an individual and finding what helps them feel comfortable, understood and happy. It’s confirmed that this is the work I want to do long term, and I hope to build a career in neurodiversity and child development.
I offer nannying, babysitting and school runs, and I bring the same care to a family’s daily routine as I would to my own, whether that’s homework, mealtimes, or simply being a steady, familiar presence in a busy household. I genuinely love building the kind of trust where a child feels comfortable coming to you, and where a family feels confident leaving them in your care.
My Experience
Since August, I’ve been nannying for four families on a weekly basis. All of the children I care for are neurodivergent and have special needs. Being with them week in, week out has taught me a huge amount about patience, flexibility, and understanding the world from each child’s perspective, and it’s something I really enjoy.
During University, I tutored a teenage girl with autism for several months, and a teenager with dyslexia and ADHD for a year and a half. Working closely with them taught me how to adapt my approach to how each of them learned best.
This summer, I helped run paddleboarding camps for children aged 9–13. Working with a lead instructor, we took groups on day trips along the rivers and canals in Oxford, looking after their safety, keeping them engaged, and making sure everyone had a great time on the water.
I have also worked within an NHS unit supporting children with psychosis, schizophrenia and autism. While I won’t be using this in a clinical sense, it’s given me real confidence and calm around children with additional needs or big emotions.
