My Summary
About Me
Hi my name is Lydia. I am very reliable and trustworthy, organised and punctual. I am patient, kind and caring and I have a good understanding of child development and the importance of providing and caring for the individual needs of each child.
I am NNEB qualified and have over 23 years experience in childcare. I have an up to date DBS, (on the update service) an up to date Paediatric First Aid Certificate and a clean driving licence. (All of these documents can be provided). I have my own car which I am happy to use for work purposes if needed. I am also happy to be Ofsted registered if required and I can provide written references from previous Nanny employers on request.
I live in the village of Harrietsham near Maidstone with my husband, our 7 year old boy and 2 year old girl. I have lived in the Maidstone area for 14 years, however I was born and raised in Tunbridge Wells with my parents and 3 siblings. I attended college in Tonbridge where I acheived my childcare qualification.
My Experience
I have 23 years of valuable childcare experience which I have achieved through working in various Day Nurseries and as a sole charge Nanny. At present I work Tuesday to Thursday as a sole charge Nanny/housekeeper caring for two girls aged 4 and 6 years. I do school and nursery pick ups and carry out house keeping duties during the day such as washing, ironing, tidying and sorting toys in the playroom, cooking and running errands. In the school holidays we go on trips to the park, farms, library and soft play etc as well as doing activities at home such as art and crafts, baking, drawing and reading.
Previous to having my own daughter, I worked with two families caring for two boys aged 4 and 5 and supported both parents with all aspects of their care as well as helping and supporting with other house hold tasks. In addition to this role, I also cared for three children between the ages of 3 and 7, doing school runs and taking them on various days out in the school holidays. Other Nanny roles have included working for three different families caring for two children of 4 and 6 years, two girls of 7 months and 2.5 years and two children of 11 months and 3 years, at commencement of employment. I have also carried out some temporary roles, looking after babies and toddlers and have worked in day nurseries as a Nursery Nurse caring for children aged 3 months to 5 years.
Throughout my childcare career I have acquired a vast amount of experience. This includes working in partnership with parents to deliver the best care for each individual child, baby and toddler experience including feeding, weaning and potty training and caring for premature twin babies. Experience with preschool and school aged children including drop off and pick ups to school/nursery, assisting with homework, communicating effectively with teachers and nursery staff, planning daily activities and outings, preparing and cooking healthy nutritional meals and assisting with bedtime/bath time routine.
My Qualifications
I have an NNEB (Nursery Nursing Examination Board) child care qualification which I completed in June 2000 at West Kent College.
My Availability
I am looking for an additional position working 1 day a week on a Monday or Friday. I am happy to work in and around Maidstone and other areas too such as Tonbridge, Sevenoaks and the surrounding villages.
