About Me

Hi! I'm Ellis,

I am a British nanny with lots of experience. I obtained my childcare qualification when I left school, I knew from the moment I left formal education that I wanted to go into childcare. My first few roles were as a qualified nursery practitioner in different day nurseries. I learnt a lot working in the nurseries, it was a great experience.I came into the nannying world some years later.

Over the years I have been fortunate enough to experience 2 and a half years of living in Italy as a nanny and tutor. I cared for over 20 children whilst there, I helped the children improve their English, prepared some for exams, became a part time nanny for twin babies, became an after school nanny which included picking children up from school, cooking, taking them to after school activities and more. I enjoyed it very much.

I moved to London in 2018 and have since nannied for lots of families of different nationalities. It's been a wonderful experience. I've primarily worked with babies and toddlers but I have also cared for older (middle school aged) children too. The first family I worked for when moving to London was for a baby of 8 months and to this day I still see her on occasion, she's now 6! We have a really lovely relationship, it warms my heart how much she loves my visits.

So me as a person, I am fun, caring and very positive. I love opportunities as you never know where they may lead you! I'm a real optimist!
I also enjoy meeting new people, I'm intrigued by people's life stories and ambitions.

I love, love, love being in nature! I took up hiking a few years ago so being outdoors is something I adore!
Also I enjoy being creative, reading and learning languages. In my free time I am currently learning Spanish and learning to free dive.

As a nanny, you may have guessed.. I love being outside! I love taking the children on adventures, making our own binoculars and going on bug hunts, creating a forest collection from the woods and doing things like visiting museums are all things I've done many times.
Creating cards, painting and doing the odd science experiment is great for getting creative indoors. I'm also a big lover on music and dance so singing and dancing around the living room is something I enjoy doing with the children too! They always seem to love this!

I really love working with children, it's fantastic to see their development and it's exciting to see the milestones they reach, I love being a part of that. I feel grateful that I get to be part of their journey.

I am First Aid trained and DBS checked (on the update service) and I have a full UK driving licence. I have driven cars provided by families in the past.

So, I think for now I have said most of what is necessary. If you have taken the time to read all of this, I thank you and I will be happy to hear from those who are interested in speaking more.

Have a great day!

Ellis
