My Summary
About Me
My name is Jane, and I have lived in Saxmundham and the surrounding area since birth. I have been a senior creche worker for Suffolk County Council, I was working with them for over 10 years. I was also a nanny/mothers help with 2 families, where I was assisting the mothers with various tasks and was a key holder for both. I have had the pleasure of being a private nanny for a lovely household with 3 children who were nearly 5, nearly 3 and 15 months. I had been with the family for 3 and a half years and have seen the children flourish day by day. I have also been a private nanny to 2 other families, one with 3 boys and one with a girl and a boy, and 3 separate sets of twins. My duties have varied according to the families and their requirements. I aim to be flexible to suit the family, this has included night nannying, sleep training/wedding crèche and weaning off dummies. One of the children had a skin condition, which needed constant attention, adhering to medical advice aswell as that of parents.

I have recently undertaken specialised training for my grandson, who has a very rare condition.

(Or holiday home/Temporary rental/hotel room)
I also support the family as much as I can, with light household duties, babysitting and sleepovers-being as flexible as I possibly can.
Many thanks for looking @ my profile :)
My Experience
I have been working with children for 40+ years. The childrens ages have ranged from birth to the age of 15, though mainly to the age of 5, as they approach reception age.
I have looked after children privately and within the playgroup setting where I acquired my Level 3 qualification in childcare. I have cared for children of varying abilities. One specific area has been speech and language development and another assisting with walking.
Children thrive on being rewarded for positive behaviour, and I promote this method. Encouraging children to develop their own mind and having the option to choose is also paramount.
My goal is to offer a loving and caring environment in which the children can develop at their own pace and flourish.
I work with the parents/carers to provide the best quality of care by adhering to established routines and requests - the welfare of the child is always at the very heart, the central core-the reason for working with children.
The older children may have homework or projects to do for school and I am willing to assist as much as I can.
I have references and little notes that are either from the parents-or the children themselves.
I am willing to stay overnight, begin earlier and finish later-please give as much notice as possible. Any of this can be pre agreed-rates may vary.
I have tried to cover as much as possible here to give you information into my work ethic

My Fees
- Babysitting from £18.00 per hour
- Nannying from £21.00 per hour (net)
To be discussed.
I prefer not to have any more than 3 children at any 1 given time and the children must be from the same family unit.
I look forward to hearing from you soon and becoming a part of your family.
:)
For ad-hoc nannying/babysitting/wedding crèche I require a 25% of booking fee which is non refundable, but will be deducted off the invoice.

Jane was lovely! My 14month old spent a couple of hours while we had date night and it went so smoothly, this was the first time we had left her with someone who wasn’t family and overall because of Jane’s calm and professional nature it went really well. Would definitely recommend her ! Xxx

Thank you, very much appreciated.
She's a gorgeous little girl. 😍
During our stay in the area for work, we were fortunate to have Jane's exceptional care for our two energetic boys, aged 13 months and 3 years old. Jane's wonderful creativity and affection for children shone through as she effortlessly engaged our little ones. Despite not having our usual assortment of toys on hand, Jane came prepared with an array of age-appropriate activities that kept the boys entertained! Her patience and attentiveness created a nurturing environment where our boys felt safe to explore and express themselves freely. We're immensely grateful for the peace of mind she brought to us.

Thank you Kathryn, very much appreciated. Its a pleasure caring for your children 💕
We couldn’t have been happier with Jane. She put us at ease straight away and connected with our two year old son instantly. She’s exactly what you would hope to find in a nanny, so much so that we have passed on her details to where we were staying (Wilderness Reserve) to suggest they recommend her to future guests.
Thank you Nanny Jane! If we are ever in the area again we will be in touch.

Thank you Hattie,
It was such a pleasure, Freddie is an adorable little boy and he loved the toys I had brought along too 😉 x
Wishing you and your lovely family all the best

Jane babysat for our one year old for the evening of a wedding, in the wedding venue accommodation. Despite my hope that my daughter would sleep through the evening, she didn’t, but Jane took the very best care of her and sang / rocked / calmed her as needed. Jane was super communicative and didn’t mind my frequent messages checking all was ok, and at my request was really good at keeping me updated. It’s the first time we have used a ‘stranger’ to babysit but Jane was wonderful and I had no concerns whatsoever leaving her in charge. I am only sorry that we live 3 hours away and therefore can’t use Jane for childcare on a regular basis!

Thank you so much for the lovely review, very much appreciated x
We were a bit nervous leaving our little boy with someone new whilst we went out. Jane put us at ease immediately by her professionalism, took him off to play/ sing and read books - he took to her straight away and was smiling and laughing. She kept us updated all night (which is what we wanted) and sent a summary at the end of the night. Thank you Jane, you are a true professional and amazing at what you do
