My Summary

My Experience

My Experience

I have several years of experience working with children in both professional and family settings, and I’ve always found working with children to be incredibly rewarding.

For three years, I worked as a Learning Support Assistant in an infant school, supporting children with a range of additional needs, including hearing impairments. I worked with children individually and in small groups, helping them with their learning, confidence and independence. This experience taught me the importance of being patient, understanding and adapting my approach to suit each child.

I also previously worked as a nanny for a family for three years. I collected the children from school, brought them home safely, prepared their dinner, helped with homework and looked after them until their parents returned home. I really enjoyed becoming part of their routine and getting to know their individual personalities and interests.

I also regularly care for children within my family and friendship circle, from around 1 to 7 years old. This has given me experience with different ages and stages, from entertaining and caring for younger children to helping older children with homework and encouraging their independence.

I’m happy to help with all those everyday things that make family life easier — getting children ready in the morning, school drop-offs and collections, preparing meals, homework, play and activities, and simply being there to give them a safe and happy environment while you’re at work.

I would always take the time to get to know your children, their personalities and their routines, as I believe children are happiest when they feel comfortable, listened to and understood.

My Qualifications

I have a first-class degree in Sociology, which has given me a strong understanding of people, families, communities and child development.

I have also worked for a local authority for the past 8 years within children’s education, giving me extensive experience of working in an education environment and supporting children and families.

I have a current DBS check and am first aid trained, so you can feel confident that your children are in safe and responsible hands. I also have a clean, full UK driving licence and my own vehicle, which means I’m able to help with school collections and morning drop-offs where needed.

I feel my combination of professional experience, education background and practical childcare experience allows me to provide caring, reliable and responsible support for families.

My Availability

I am currently able to offering the following, however I am happy to discuss accommodating flexibility on hours to fit your family’s schedule.

I’m available Monday to Friday for morning childcare from 7:00am to 9:00am, which could include helping children get ready for school and taking them to school if needed.

I’m also available after school from 2:30pm to 7:00pm, including school collections, bringing children home, preparing meals, helping with homework and keeping them happy and entertained until you’re home.

I can also offer occasional evening babysitting during the week and at weekends, depending on my availability.

My Fees

• Nannying from £14.00 per hour (gross)

My standard rate is £14 per hour for regular morning and after-school childcare and evening babysitting.

This includes helping children get ready for school, school drop-offs and collections, preparing meals, helping with homework and providing a safe, caring and enjoyable environment while you’re at work or away.

I also offer weekend babysitting at £15 per hour, subject to availability.

For regular childcare, I’m happy to discuss your family’s individual requirements and agree a routine that works well for everyone. I understand that family life can sometimes be unpredictable, so I’ll always do my best to be flexible when arrangements or schedules change.

School collections within the local area are included within my hourly rate. If you have a particular childcare requirement or would like to discuss something slightly different, please feel free to get in touch.
