Nanny in Ashtead (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
Montessori Nanny Available From August / September 2026 Looking For Full Days
About Me
I am an experienced and loving Nanny, a big fan of outdoor play, art, cooking, and reading with children. I'm able to support their routines from new-born sleep through to GCSEs, and all the stages in between.
I enjoy guiding children as they learn and grow, encouraging their independence and offering them opportunities to build on their curiosity.
Degree educated, with qualifications in Montessori and RIE. I hold a current first aid certificate, clear DBS, clean driving licence, and excellent references.
I have applied to join the Ofsted register.
My preferred locations to work include Claygate, Cobham, The Dittons, Guildford, and the villages around them.
Please get in touch to learn more, view my CV, or to arrange a call. I look forward to hearing from you.
My Experience
I have over 15 years experience as a sole-charge Nanny with children from newborn to age 16. I’m also a mother to a grown daughter.
From April 2025 to date I have been working in a busy household with great teenagers, and renovation works to keep me busy when they are at school. The family are moving overseas, so I am looking for a new adventure.
For the previous two years, I worked with a family who have a curious and loving toddler, and who has been joined by a smiley baby sibling.
For two years before that, I worked with a warm and loving family just outside Guildford caring for G4 and B8m.
My previous role in Thames Ditton / Cobham ended after 11 happy years, since the children I looked after were happily settled into full-time school and no longer needed full time support. I had been their nanny since G was 8 months and B was new-born (with a 9 month break in 2018). They are now 13 and 16.
I’ve worked as a children’s storyteller in an independent bookshop in Twickenham (sadly now closed) and as a volunteer with the early years team in a London museum.
Random info:
I have a degree in construction engineering, speak 3 languages (English, Makaton and sarcasm), and hail from Gods own country (Yorkshire), though decades in the Home Counties have pretty much obliterated my accent.
I love long walks in woodland, Hay Festival, and fennel tea
