My Summary
About Me
Experienced bilingual French–English nanny with over 25 years’ experience supporting families in the UK and France. Calm, warm, organised and highly adaptable, I create a secure and nurturing environment where children feel confident, emotionally supported and able to thrive.
I value strong communication with parents and understand the importance of discretion, reliability and flexibility within private households. Families describe me as dependable, emotionally intuitive and easy to work with.
As a mother and grandmother myself, I bring patience, warmth and a calm, experienced approach to childcare.
I hold an up-to-date DBS, Paediatric First Aid certification, and Maternity/Night Nanny training.
My Experience
I have experience caring for children from newborn through to teenage years in both the UK and France.
My background includes newborn and night nanny care, sole-charge nanny roles, proxy parenting, travel nanny positions, school support, tutoring, and English language development.
I am experienced in creating calm routines, supporting emotional wellbeing, helping children build confidence and independence, and adapting to the individual needs of each family.
I have worked with both long-term and temporary families and particularly enjoy supporting bilingual families and helping children feel secure and settled in new environments.

Wow, I spoke to this lady and she seems so lovely. The sad part is that good carers are often fully booked but I guess that’s just how the cookie crumbles. Stay safe Gill. Thank you for answering my call.
