My Summary

Caring, Reliable And Friendly

My Experience

I have over 16 years of experience working in childcare and have worked in the nursery sector since 2010. During this time, I have progressed into senior and management roles and gained extensive experience caring for and supporting children from babies through to preschool age.

I currently work in a senior role within a busy private nursery, where I have responsibility for a large group of one- and two-year-olds. My role involves supporting children’s day-to-day care, learning and development, planning and providing activities, maintaining a safe and stimulating environment and working closely with parents and families.

I also have experience as a Deputy Safeguarding Lead, giving me a good understanding of safeguarding and the importance of keeping children safe and supporting their wellbeing.

Throughout my career, I have worked with children with a wide range of personalities, needs and developmental stages. I am confident with routines including mealtimes, sleep, play and learning, and understand how important consistency, patience and reassurance are for young children.

I’m passionate about providing children with a warm, nurturing and fun environment where they feel safe, valued and encouraged to be themselves.

My Qualifications

I am qualified in Early Years and Early Childhood, with a strong combination of academic knowledge and over 16 years of practical childcare experience.

My qualifications include:

• BTEC National Diploma in Early Years – Level 3
• Foundation Degree in Early Years
• BA (Hons) in Early Childhood

These qualifications have given me a strong understanding of child development, learning, safeguarding, wellbeing and the importance of providing children with a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment.

Alongside my formal qualifications, my extensive experience in nursery and senior management roles has allowed me to put this knowledge into practice every day.

My Availability

I’m open to discussing part-time nanny positions as well as ad hoc babysitting and would ideally like to find a family looking for someone reliable, caring and experienced to become a regular part of their child’s routine.

I’m happy to discuss different working patterns and days depending on the needs of the family. I’m also open to considering school or nursery runs, holiday childcare and occasional babysitting alongside a regular nanny role.

I’m looking for the right family where I can use my experience and qualifications to provide consistent, nurturing and high-quality care.

My Fees

• Babysitting from £15.00 per hour

My fees are flexible depending on the type of childcare required, the hours, responsibilities and the needs of the family.

As an experienced Early Years professional with over 16 years’ experience and qualifications up to BA (Hons) level, I offer a high standard of professional, nurturing and reliable childcare.

I’m happy to discuss rates with families and agree a fee that reflects the role and responsibilities involved.
