Children are such truly amazing little beings and I’m extremely lucky that I get to see them grow, watch them play, see their smiles and wipe their tears. Working with children is not just a job to me it’s a joy and my passion. I simply love having fun and getting messy. I don’t mind glitter in my hair or dirt everywhere, whether it be baking, jumping in muddy puddles, drawing or singing songs, if they love it or haven’t tried it then I can’t wait to explore with them. Children learn through play and need to be able to express themselves and develop into their own little characters.
I encourage children to be independent and help to build their confidence.
I’m all about getting down to a Childs level and getting stuck in with whatever fun activity is happening as that what it’s all about. Amongst all that fun I always make time to encourage good manners and behaviour whilst bringing out the best in your child. I have a firm but fair approach and will always respect the parents’ wishes in regards to discipline. With me your child will always be safe, cared for, guided and most importantly happy.
Many thanks

Personal Profile
I have worked as a nursery nurse at Holland Park Pre Prep and Day Nursery for 11 years and as a nanny for 11 years. I have worked with children aged from 3 months-8 years old. Working with children is my passion and I am committed to providing quality child care with fun opportunities for learning and also bringing out the best in children. I was in my current employment for 11 years and enjoyed my time greatly. In February 2010 I decided to leave Holland park and continue to work with children but on a one to one role and decided to become a nanny which I enjoy immensely.
