Nanny in Stratford-upon-Avon (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
Hello! I am Ella, a dedicated and fully qualified early years professional with a genuine passion for supporting children's development. I currently work as a Nursery Practitioner at a busy day nursery in Warwickshire, alongside providing private babysitting and nannying services for local families.
I hold a full, clean driving licence, making me highly adaptable for private nannying requirements, school runs, and local trips. I believe in promoting development and learning through active play. When caring for your children, I do not just supervise; I actively engage them in their environment, ensuring your child is supported in reaching their milestones while having fun.
I know how important clear communication is for your peace of mind, and I pride myself on building strong, trusting relationships with parents. Whether you need ad-hoc evening babysitting, regular wrap-around care, or a more permanent nannying arrangement, I would love to hear from you to discuss how I can support your family.
My Rates & Fees
As a fully qualified Level 3 Early Years Educator, my rates reflect my professional training, SEN expertise, and commitment to your child's safety and development.
Evening Babysitting: From £13.00 per hour.
Daytime Nannying / Wrap-around Care: £17.00 - £20.00 per hour (depending on duties and number of children).
Please note: Additional fees may apply for after-midnight finishes or mileage coverage for school runs using my own vehicle. I am always happy to discuss a structured rate for regular, long-term nannying arrangements.
My Experience
In my current nursery role, I act as a Key Worker for up to eight children. This gives me comprehensive, hands-on experience across all early years age ranges: babies, toddlers, and pre-schoolers. For my private babysitting clients, I am highly experienced in managing essential daily routines, from preparing meals and feeding to handling bath times and smooth bedtime transitions.
I bring specialist experience in supporting children with Special Educational Needs (SEN). I am confident in following Individual Education Plans (IEPs), utilising signs and symbols to aid communication, and implementing visual aids such as 'now and next' boards to support understanding and smooth transitions.
I regularly design engaging, sensory-rich activities, including inviting water play setups, arts and crafts, and Play-Doh stations incorporating natural resources to encourage fine motor skills. I also love getting children outside and have extensive experience organising local outings, forest school visits, and community walks to enrich their learning environment. I am highly accustomed to providing thorough daily handovers, keeping parents updated via family apps, and working collaboratively to ensure total consistency in your child's routine.
