My Summary

My Experience

I have been a sole charge nanny for the last 20+ years so lots and lots of experience. Caring for children from as young as new born up to school leaving ages.

I do like to be able to take the children out of the family home I have a full clean driving licence and my own car.

I've been very fortunate with all of my families to have a wonderful relationship with the parents as well as the children. I've been very lucky to become very much "part of the family" as they have become a part of mine to. So much so I'm still in contact with most of my families I have had the pleasure working for.

All of my nannying positions have been a long term. I've seen them grow from babies to teenagers, which is what I would be ideally looking for in any future job's.

I have also worked in a nursery in the baby room, where I worked along side my room leader providing weekly plans for the children. I think I work well in a "team" myself and my room leader had the most lovely atmosphere in our room, and a nice friendship.

I have also in my most recent position had the pleasure of working with a child who has ASD and ADHD working along side the parents in maintaining a smooth transition from them to myself. Which also prompted me to take a course in understanding autism. And I very much hope to expand my knowledge on that at some point in the future.

I have done over night cover as well as caring for children while parents have gone away with work/holidays. Keeping the routine going until the parents have returned home.

I can be very flexible with advanced warning, and like to think I can help where ever I possibly can.

I would also like to say that I am a Nanny, not a cleaner or a house keeper or a chef. Please don't take offence to that I'm always happy to help out around the home in moderation. After all your children would be my top priority which when searching for a Nanny would be yours too ?

My Qualifications

N.V.Q level 2 in child care and education.
Many years of experience with children aged new born to leaving secondary school.
I have also just completed a course in understanding autism.
I'm more than happy to become ofsted registered,if needed but it would be at the employers expense.
I can renew my 1st aid and DBS if required.

*I do have an updated DBS which I've done recently so I'm able to help out at my daughter's young farmers group*

Hello, I'm beginning to tentatively look for my next "family" my current family have come to the stage in my current job where they no longer need a nanny as the children are all grown up! Ideally I would be looking to start in September 2024.
