Laura

My Summary

Experienced Nanny Of Over 30 Years.

My Experience

My name is Laura and I have thirty years of experience working with children in various settings.

I am currently working as a teaching assistant within a federation of six schools part time now, but was fulltime before cutting down hours to go and pursue my nannying career. I have worked within a school setting for the last sixteen years, but working as a nanny during the school holidays and after school and evening care.

I worked through lockdown to enable a previous employer to go and do their amazing work, as a paediatric Doctor within a local NHS hospital.

I am available for some day's in the school holidays,
The current family that I am working with have three amazing children whom are know 12, 9 and 7 years old ( I have been with them for just over 4 years). The parents also have very demanding jobs, one of which is working as a paediatric Doctor too, in a local hospital. The need to be reliable, flexible have someone who works alongside the family, most definitely nurturing but can also think independently is a must.

I'm currently working 4 afternoons a week during term time and longer days during school holidays. At present , I have availability Fridays after school.


I am very flexible, adaptable and easy going person, I enjoy cooking, the outdoors and making and doing. I have been a thrive practitioner and am the go to person for children that are having emotional, social, well being and behavioural difficulties and children that EHCP plans for different reasons.Being in a school environment I am registered with Ofsted and just recently been inspected in may 2023. I have a DBS, up to date first aid, phonics trained ( Little Wandle) and had training in speech and language. I have worked 1-1 with many children with autism or on the spectrum, including the boy I nanny for who has just been diagnosed with Autism and ADHD ( which was obvious that he was on the spectrum). I understand the challenges, because of the way the brain works differently. It can have a impact on said child, siblings, friendships and life itself.

I also previous to Covid worked for six years worked as an enabler for a severely disabled boy two evenings a week in their own home . However since the covid 19 outbreak it has made it not possible to do so due to his susceptibility. Although I still managed to help out in anyway that I can by bulk cooking once a week or collecting shopping and collecting medications.
