Nanny in Patchway
My Summary
About Me
l've been a nanny for 14 years and I’ve loved every minute of it. I believe this has always shown in my references and the friendships that I have with all my nanny families. I had a boy of my own in 2022. He makes me want to continue to give families the childcare they need to be able go to work with complete peace of mind their little ones are being cared for just like they would by their parents.
I am looking for a new position to start around/after September 2026 when my son starts school. It would be preferred if it was term time only but not essential. If it wasn’t term time only, my son would need to come with me in the holidays. He’s used to this as he’s been coming to work with me since he was 18 months old. He loves other children and is very friendly and loving.
Here is a little extract from one of my references “After a short adaptation, Laura was one of my son's favourite caregivers. Her love for children, warm disposition and incredible sympathy made my son look forward to everyday meetings with Laura and her son, who very quickly became my son's best friend.”

Friendly nanny with a great CV. Very professional and seemed great with our twins when we met her.
Unfortunately we did not employ her as we needed someone who could start straight away. Good luck with your search!
