My Summary

Dedicated Nanny With 10+ Years Experience In Early Years Education And Family Support

My Experience

With a decade of experience as a nanny, I have developed a deep understanding of childcare that spans from infancy to adolescence. I am a mother myself, which has provided me with personal insight and empathy, further enriching my professional skills.

Throughout my career, I have supported numerous families, maintaining strong relationships with them over the years. My responsibilities have included School runs
After-school activities,
Meal preparations and Feeding.
Toileting and potty training.
Arranging engaging activities,
Assisting with homework. Additionally, I have provided proxy parenting, overnight care, and attended parent-teacher meetings to relay feedback.

I have experience taking children to medical appointments and coordinating with health professionals such as physiotherapists and speech and language therapists to implement prescribed activities and therapies. My role has also involved assisting with weaning, potty training, and sleep training. I take pride in being adaptable and flexible, tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs and preferences of each family and child. Building positive rapport with family members is a core strength of mine.

Currently, my role includes food preparation, getting children ready, and facilitating their participation in various activities. For children requiring medication, I ensure timely and accurate administration. I also provide support for children with undiagnosed conditions, working closely with healthcare professionals and attending training sessions to support their needs.

In my current role at a preschool, I collaborate with staff to set up activities, supervise meals and snack times, assist with toileting, and support children in settling in. I engage children in diverse activities such as singing, reading, and painting physical activities. I also work with senior staff and SENCO to ensure consistent care for children with special educational needs.

Before transitioning to childcare, I worked in finance, but after my company went into administration, I chose to pursue my passion for childcare. This decision has been immensely fulfilling, and I have continued to enhance my skills through various childcare courses. My dedication to making a positive impact on every child I care for remains my foremost goal.
