My Summary

My Experience

• Private In-Home Care (Nanny & Babysitter)
Provided bespoke, high-quality care tailored to the individual routines and development of children within private households. Managing everything from daily schedules and nutritious meal preparation to school runs and age-appropriate learning, I have long been a trusted extension of the families I support. Continuing this as a professional babysitter throughout my own journey as a mother ensures my hands-on parenting skills remain sharp, relevant, and reliable.
• Specialised Newborn Care (Maternity Nurse)
Supported parents during the critical postgraduate and early-years stages as a Maternity Nurse. This high-responsibility role involved establishing healthy sleep hygiene, guiding breastfeeding or bottle-feeding routines, monitoring newborn development, and offering vital emotional and practical reassurance to families adjusting to life with a newborn.
• International & Resort Childcare (Ski Nanny)
Delivered dynamic, high-energy childcare in alpine resort settings, managing the safety and happiness of children in a fast-paced holiday environment. This role required exceptional adaptability, organizing engaging indoor and outdoor activities tailored to changing winter weather conditions, and ensuring children felt secure and comfortable away from home.
• Early Years Education (Nursery Nurse – Ashbourne)
Worked across two established nursery settings in Ashbourne, implementing early years foundations and curricula. Managed group dynamics, designed creative and sensory play frameworks, and maintained meticulous safety and progress records, fostering a warm and stimulating environment for toddlers and preschool-aged children.
• Primary Education Support (Classroom Assistant)
Collaborated directly with teachers within the school system to support children’s academic, social, and emotional growth. Assisted with literacy, numeracy, and classroom management, providing tailored focus to children requiring additional guidance to reach their developmental milestones.
• Clinical Play & Wellbeing (Play Worker – Nottingham City Hospital)
Provided essential therapeutic play and emotional distraction for children undergoing medical treatment at Nottingham City Hospital. This sensitive role required a deeply empathetic approach, using play to alleviate anxiety, normalize the hospital environment, and support families navigating stressful medical situations.
