About Me

PROFESSIONAL CAREER NANNY

Travel and event Nanny.

I am a dedicated, reliable, honest, hard working, caring,qualified, 49 year old nanny of just over 34 years and a mother to a 17 year old son.
I have a happy go lucky disposition, joyful, calm and laid back.
I am very experienced with age 0-17 years.

I take a mindful approach to taking care of children, as I feel there is no need for harsh discipline, time outs etc.
Instead, thoughtful age appropriate communication, understanding and most of all a loving mutually respectful environment.
I follow a child led approach. As I believe children are happiest and learn best when they are engaging in activities they want to do.
I do however think that children benefit from a regular routine. With clear boundaries set and modelling good behaviour.
I’m familiar with the Montessori and the Steiner/Waldorf approach, having been schooled briefly myself, as well as my son, and Nanny children.

I will always be prompt and on time.
I have experience with children who are on the autistic spectrum and have experience with PDA (pathological demand avoidance)

I love being outdoors, the beach, the moors, parks, but I’m happy staying at home with the children doing craft and other activities as well.
I am a great cook. And particularly enjoy sourcing organic and local foods to prepare.

I’ve lived in Devon for 15 years, and lived in the U.K for just over 22 years.
My hobbies include travelling, of which I’ve done extensively, wild camping, homeopathy,herbs, reading, swimming, kayaking, gardening,and spending quality time with my family and pets.
I love animals and grew up on a cattle and sheep farm in Western Australia.
I currently have two cats.

I ran my own small business when I decided to homeschool, my then young son from home.
Dog boarding, walking and pet care for three years.
I also had land on Dartmoor and grew my own vegetables, Kept chickens, had a shepherds hut and did lots of open fire cooking.

I’ve worked in many different countries and worked for high profile families and travelled with them. I’m discreet.
I’ve been live in, live out, a nanny/housekeeper and a PA.

My DBS is up to date. And available on the online service.
I can be Ofsted registered if required. Yearly fees apply.
I have a full U.K driving licence and my own car. Edit, currently don’t have a car, but in the process of buying one.
