My Summary
About Me
Dear Parents
Highly experienced nanny with an EY degree looking for a nanny job in Reading.
I am looking for a family who could provide me with at least 30 hours or a maximum of 40 hours of work a week and am happy to use a payroll service for employment.
About me:
About 11 years ago, I wanted to come here to the UK to try myself out of my comfort zone and practice English. So I started to work as an au pair (anyway, I am an advertising and marketing manager), but I have fallen in love with the childcare profession. I love kids because their love is the most honest, and they accept you as you are, and you can learn and teach so much from and to them. It is wonderful to work with these little people and help them to be great adults.
From my plenty of years of experiences I am aware that if you work with children, patience is essential. Safeguarding, responsibility, sense of humour, creativeness, fantasy, problem-solving, partnership working (not with just the kids with the parents and other adults who take part in the children daily life), and flexibility is essential but the most important is love. This is the main engine of this profession.
Actually, my amazing SEN teacher friend told me before we went to college that I should have chosen the teaching profession as I have a sense of it. She was right. Working with children has become my passion, so since I started as an au-pair, I keep on developing my professional skills. I am very determined and open-minded and passionate about childcare.
My passion is evident as I have done the necessary training and become an Ofsted registered private nanny. Whilst I was nannying, I decided to take the next step in my professional development and become a qualified Early Years Professional. Besides, I started to work in an amazing nursery setting. I have been working there for more than 5 years as a senior Early Years Educator. I was also nannying alongside this job too. As my passion and ambition took me further and further, I completed my degree in Early Childhood Studies at Oxford Brookes University. To challenge myself further, I moved to another nursery to extend my professional experiences.
Recently, I was a live out private nanny working for a fantastic family looking after a little girl who is my sunshine. I worked for this family for a year, but the little girl started nursery full time, so it is my time to move on.
I am looking for a live out nanny position in Reading.
If you are interested, please do not hesitate to contact me.
CV, excellent references and their phone numbers, qualifications, up to date DBS, and first aid certificate are available upon request.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes
Sandy

Sandy has been an absolute blessing to our family, providing top-notch care for our baby for over one year. Her warmth, kindness, patience and dedication are truly exceptional. She is highly energetic and comes with a wealth of knowledge and experience in childcare. She creates a warm and nurturing environment, making our little one feel safe, loved and cheerful. She has evolved from a caregiver to a trusted companion and a loving presence in our baby's and our lives. Our child absolutely adores her and she is a constant source of comfort, security and joy for her. Her reliability, flexibility, and excellent communication skills have been invaluable to us. Sandy had helped shape our child into a loving, compassionate and cheerful little human.
We feel so grateful to have her in our lives and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a trustworthy and compassionate nanny.
I am thrilled to recommend Sandy for any childcare needs.
