My Summary
About Me
Hello to all the super parents.
Only available for occasional babysitting. Weekdays 5pm-10pm and weekends flexible hours.
Thanks
Im Sam. Native english speaker born and brought up in London; living in Camden, Gospel Oak/Kentish Town area.
Im 29 years of age and the eldest out of the 8 siblings. I have learnt to care and assist my siblings at a young age. i am comfortable with taking care of children from new born to teenage. I do come from a science background. My interest in caring for children and babysitting did start from having a big family myself to which i dont necessarily see it as a job as i love the role that it holds and my instant love for kids. I can do pick ups/ drop offs to activities school etc, bath time, bedtime etc. I have been fortunate enough to have worked with great families and im always grateful for the way i am welcomed in the years of working as a nanny. Its very important for me to have a great relationship for the family i work for. And if parents are comfortable enough i understand that parents are away working long hours away so i love to send them snippets of photos and videos of what their children are up to everyday. I know it really makes the parents day knowing that their child is happy and safe.
My 6 year old sister who is the main reason i looked into nannying does have severe allergies and i have always been involved with this since she was born. She suffers from anaphylaxis if exposed to fish, nuts and eggs. So i am Epipen trained and know what to do when it comes to allergic reactions and flare up:
At the moment in my spare time i like to be active, i like to go to the gym atleast 4/5 times a week and trying to build a healthy eating habit and very much enjoying meal preparation. I like to go swimming twice a week and pilates. I like to do walking when i have some spare time.
I would describe myself as very fun and outgoing person; kind of being a big kid myself but have my boundaries set. I love doing arts and painting in my spare time; not that im any good haha. I love Musicals its my favourite thing ever. I dont believe in shouting but know how to stay firm with kids. Id say the best quality about myself is my patience and how adaptable i am. Im able to cook healthy meals & take the kids to activities ranging for all ages and arranging play dates. But my main significance for the kids is that they are safe and happy. The best thing about nannying is observing the Childs growth in social, physical, emotional development and being a part of that is such a rewarding feeling. The not so nice part of nannying is saying goodbye.
Alongside i offer basic housekeeping such as laundry, changing bed sheets, ironing, washing up. And also have a background in teaching Compulsory subjects (maths, english & science) therefore being able to help with homework or offering to teach is not a problem for me as i am always happy to help. If you’d like to know more then feel free to message.

Please note i value good communication during the interview process and onwards. If you cannot make a certain call/video or meet up during those times then i would appreciate a heads up rather than radio silence. Arranging a time together means i need to ensure my days are organised properly and no communication for not making it can be a little frustrating. Biggest thing i look for when it comes to searching for the right family is getting on personality wise but this also comes with communication, trust and full transparency.
I have also received both doses of my covid vaccines.
Im a non smoker & dont drink alcohol. No dogs please .
