My Summary

My Experience

I have a range of experience that has given me lots of different skills when it comes to caring for children and supporting families.

I have spent the last 2 years working as a Paediatric Occupational Therapist, supporting children across a range of ages and developmental stages. My role has given me a strong understanding of child development and developmental milestones, including how children develop their communication, fine and gross motor skills, emotional regulation, social skills, independence and everyday self-care abilities. I really enjoy getting to know each child individually and understanding their strengths, interests and areas where they may need a little extra support. This experience has taught me to be patient, adaptable and creative and to recognise that every child develops at their own pace.

I have also worked as a Little Cooks cooking teacher, where I planned and delivered fun cooking activities for children. I loved helping children build confidence, independence and practical skills while encouraging them to try new things. I really enjoy cooking and baking myself, so this is something I would love to bring into a nanny role.

I have also worked in a pet shop, giving me experience caring for animals and understanding the responsibility involved in looking after pets. If your family has pets, I would be more than happy to help care for them as part of my role.

Overall, my different experiences have given me a really broad range of skills. I’m confident caring for children, supporting their development and independence, helping with routines and everyday tasks, and becoming a reliable and caring part of family life.

My Qualifications

I have a Bachelor of Occupational Therapy with Honours and am a qualified Paediatric Occupational Therapist. My training and professional experience have given me a strong understanding of child development and developmental milestones, including communication, sensory processing, emotional regulation, fine and gross motor skills, social development and independence with everyday activities.

I have experience working with children across a range of ages and developmental needs, and I am confident supporting children in a way that is encouraging, patient and tailored to their individual personalities and abilities.

I am also First Aid certified and have experience working in roles where the safety, wellbeing and care of others are a priority.

My qualifications give me a strong understanding of how children learn and develop, while my practical experience allows me to support this through everyday activities, play, routines and opportunities to build confidence and independence.

My Fees

• Nannying from £18.00 per hour (gross)

My nannying rate is £18-20 per hour, reflecting my Bachelor’s degree in Occupational Therapy and my professional experience as a Paediatric Occupational Therapist, which has given me extensive knowledge and practical experience in child development and care.

I’m happy to discuss the role and agree on a rate that works fairly for both the family and myself, depending on the number and ages of the children and the responsibilities involved. I’m also happy to help with cooking, light household tasks, school runs, children’s activities and caring for family pets where require
