My Summary
About Me
With over 19 years experience of working with children I have managed to acquire many skills which benefit my work as a nanny. I have experience of caring for children from the ages of 3 months up to 13 years of age, having sole charge as well as shared care of the children.
It has become evident throughout my work, that each age group has their own specific needs and requirements which I feel I am able to fulfill. My initial meeting with the parents of the children to be cared for, is in depth and comprehensive, giving both me and the parents an opportunity to discuss and work together to devise an appropriate programme/way of working with their children that is to their wishes.
With excellent references and being a mature nanny, I am reliable and enthusiastic with a thorough understanding of child development and psychology. I am also CRB checked and a non smoker. Please feel free to call me for any questions you may have.
Finally, I believe it is important to state that I have always had a passion for my work with children and feel that this is what I will always do. The personal growth and joy that my work has given me has been invaluable and I only hope I can share my experience with many more families to come.
