My Summary
About Me
I have worked with children of all ages for over a decade and have both an undergraduate and postgraduate degree in child development. My hands on childcare experience includes; nannying, teaching, tutoring, babysitting and mental health coaching.
My education and experience has taught me how to adapt to children's individual needs and temperament. As such, I enjoy channelling rambunctious energy into engaging physical activities (e.g. home made obstacle courses), as well as exploring children's creativity through calmer activities (e.g. arts and crafts). My favourite part of Nannying is the bonds I make with the children in my care, as well as the sense of reward I feel helping them to learn and grow.
Three words that describe me are energetic, caring and reliable.
I have nannied for several years and am currently in the process of becoming Ofsted registered.
