My Summary

My Experience

When I’m not providing childcare in the local area I am Children’s Entertainer at “Jiggy Wrigglers Chichester” running parent and toddler music and movement classes. This involves lots of fun, high energy dancing, puppets and running a different themed session each week like ‘Dinosaurs’, ‘Under the Sea’, ‘Jungle’ and many more!
I also visit Chichester nurseries and take my puppets and silly dance moves there for weekday sessions.

Before I become a Professional “Wiggler” I was a full time Nanny for a local family for 2 years, starting when the child was 2 years old.
During my time as a Nanny, I provided a fun, positive learning environment at home, as well as exciting outings each week - including toddler classes, library visits and exciting trips to places, such as, 'Fishers Farm', plus lots more that tap into learning through play.
On a daily basis, I planned and undertook activities to develop little minds, from hand/finger painting to an exciting bug hunt around the garden. I kept track of little ones development (Similar to a nursery setting), completing 'Next Steps' and a 'Learning Journal', so the parents were included every step of the way. I also kept a 'Daily Diary' where I kept a record of toileting, what had been eaten throughout the day, sleep, etc.
I keep in regular contact with the family even though I no longer work with them and still have a positive “friendship” with my charge, who I still babysit for on occasion.

As mentioned in my “About Me” section, I have worked in several nurseries and preschool settings, such as The Little Blue Door, Puddleducks Day Nursery and Waterlillies Preschool, experiencing a range of different ages. I have worked with babies as young as 3 months and children ready for school, aged 5.
I am no stranger to a toileting accident or the sound of a Lego box being tipped upside down. I am calm and coolheaded when dealing with children and ensure I connect with them at their level, being a fun and positive role model.

The best part about working alongside children is watching them develop into a cool little person each and everyday, every child being unique to one another and never failing to put a smile on an adults face!
