About Me

Hi, I’m Lucie! With years of experience working closely with children and young people—as a nursery nurse, live-in au pair, and residential care worker—I’ve developed a passion for creating safe, nurturing spaces where kids can thrive. I believe that learning happens best through exploration and play, especially in the great outdoors. Whether it’s organising a fun nature walk or coming up with creative play ideas, I love encouraging kids to discover, imagine, and grow through the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).

In my own time, I enjoy spending quality moments with my family. I have two young children, a 4-year-old and a 3-month-old, and together we love heading out on walks, visiting the park with scooter or on bikes whilst my daughter isn’t at school.

I’m all about bringing positive energy, creativity, and a sense of adventure into both my professional and personal life.

My Experience

With 10 years of experience in childcare and youth support, I have developed a strong foundation in nurturing and guiding children through various stages of their development.

• Nursery Nurse (2014 – 2016, 2017 – 2019): I worked in nursery settings, supporting young children during critical early development stages. I was responsible for planning engaging activities, ensuring safety, and fostering positive social interactions.

• Live-In Au Pair (2016 – 2017): Living with a family allowed me to provide personalized care and support, managing daily routines, organizing creative play, and assisting with homework. This role helped me develop strong time management and problem-solving skills.

• Residential Care Worker with Young People (2019 – 2024): I supported young people in care, focusing on creating a stable, nurturing environment where they could build resilience and develop essential life skills. I worked closely with a multidisciplinary team to support their emotional, educational, and social needs.

I hold a Level 3 qualification in Childcare and am currently on maternity leave, caring for my 3 month old and doing school runs with my 4 year old. As I prepare to return to work, I am looking forward to transitioning into a new role as a childminder, where I can continue my passion for providing high-quality care and fostering child development in a home-based setting. I plan to complete my Paediatric First Aid certification and obtain Ofsted registration by June 2025 to ensure I meet all necessary requirements for childminding.

My Qualifications

• Level 3 Childcare Qualification: I hold a Level 3 qualification in Childcare, providing a solid foundation in early childhood education and care.
