My Summary
About Me
Hello,
My name is Tricia and live in Malvern, Worcestershire with my husband. I have worked as a nanny since I gained my NNEB qualification in 1990 and love both children and animals. My parents were farmers and I was brought up on a farm with cows, sheep, horses, chickens, ducks, cats and dogs, therefore my other passion in life is the outdoors and nature. My other interests are spending time with my family, long walks, running, reading, cookery and baking.
I am a trustworthy, responsible, patient, and caring person who thrives on my own abilities to provide social and emotional support to the children within my care. I pride myself on creating a positive, happy environment and building good relationships with both parents and children, believing that open communication is key to a successful parent/nanny team.
I am extremely safety conscious and take the safeguarding of children very seriously but believe in allowing them to explore, have fun and develop their own self-esteem. Good morals and manners are also key in the upbringing of children and as they learn by example, I believe that being a good role model is highly important.
I understand the importance for a family to have complete trust in the person looking after their children and home while they are at work and I can provide excellent references.
I have wanted to be a nanny since the age of ten and I am very proud of the way my career has progressed and that I still love the job that I do.
I strongly believe that all children should be encouraged to achieve things to the best of their abilities and that they should look back on their childhood and wish it for their own family in the future.
My Experience
I have worked as a private nanny since I gained my NNEB qualification in 1990. I am Ofsted registered (latest inspection was in 2018), DBS checked and gained my latest paediatric first aid in February 2024. I have public liability insurance (nanny insurance) and business insurance for my car. I hold a full/clean driving licence and am a non-smoker/non-drinker.
Within my career I have had sole charge of the children with the ages ranging from birth to twelve years. I have gained experience looking after twins - one job involved looking after four children including twins, while another role involved looking after three children including twin boys from birth to three years. Another position I held was a 'nanny share' for two families who previously did not know each other before my employment commenced. I have also stayed overnight when the parents are unable to return home due to work commitments.
I have had previous experience of all aspects of weaning and potty training. I keep a daily diary for the parents informing them of the meals that their children have eaten, any medicines given if they have became unwell and any changes in their behaviour. I also include the outings the children have been taken on (mother and toddler groups, singing groups, swimming, libraries, parks, farm parks), activities the children have done in the home (arts and crafts, play dough, water and sand play, puzzles, reading, writing and cookery/baking) and of course any funny little moments or phrases they have said or done.
Whilst I was still at high school, I worked as a dental nurse on Saturday mornings. I continued with this job, alongside my nanny roles for ten years and thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of this job.
I have established wonderful relationships with the families I have worked for and am still in regular contact with them. Many of the children are now married and having children of their own.
