Ofsted N

My Summary

My Experience

Hello parents, My name is Samantha. I am a professional Ofsted-registered nanny, a former registered children's nurse, and a mother of two (B, 20 & G, 14).
As an Ofsted-registered nanny with extensive experience in professional pediatric care, I bring a unique blend of clinical expertise and hands-on childcare experience to the role.?
My career has been entirely dedicated to the health and development of young children. Prior to working as a nanny and self-employed maternity nurse, I practised as a Registered Children’s Nurse. Through my time working in Special Care Baby Units (SCBU), pediatric wards, health visiting teams, and immunisation clinics, I developed a deep understanding of infant health, safety, and developmental milestones.
This clinical background allows me to provide highly competent care and handle any situation with a calm, practical approach
Most recently, I have been providing care for a family whose baby has now transitioned to nursery, which means I am fully available for a new long-term commitment from September,2026. I am looking to join a family where I can provide stability and continuity of care as your child grows. My approach to childcare is structured around maintaining a secure attachment with the children I care for and providing opportunities for them to explore, learn, and reach their developmental milestones through age-appropriate activities and structured play.
