My Summary

Highly Qualified Early Years Specialist & Creative Nanny (First Aid / Safeguarding)

My Experience

I am a professional, multi-lingual childcare specialist and educator with 13 years of total experience across education and early years settings. My recent role as Lead Atelierista and Nursery Nurturer (April 2023–Present) proves me with an extensive daily experience managing nursery routines, following EYFS frameworks, ensuring safeguarding, and using childcare software like the Famly app. Currently working as a Lead Atelierista and Nursery Nurturer, I excel at combining structured safety, administrative reliability, and daily nursery routines with highly engaging, creative activities. I specialise in positive and meaningful relationships, individualised planning, and introducing gentle elements of music, storytelling, and mindfulness to help children thrive. I'm a Creative & Educational Nanny for Families in the Bingley and West Yorkshire area who are looking for after-school care that keeps kids engaged without screens. My background as Art teacher in the early years who received additional training in "Pyjama Drama," "Sing & Sign," and "Music at Heart" combined with my previous 4 years "after school nanny work"in London in which I successfully managed 3 children simultaneously for 4 years (and £20 per h), show my proven high-level organisational, multitasking, and safety skills.
