My Summary
About Me
Hello, my name is Charly. I am an experienced, caring, and reliable Nanny. When caring for children, I like to form a close bond with them and their families, whether caring for them short term or longer term. It is really important to me to care for children with a gentle approach, and in a way that respects them, influenced by Montessori, Waldorf, and attachment parenting philosophies - I would be very keen to work with a family who take a similar approach, or are open to this approach. I'm happy to organise age appropriate activities, cook, and do light housework - including laundering cloth nappies, if you choose to use reusable nappies. I enjoy getting to know each child, and finding activities that complement their interests. I also love helping children to enjoy spending time outdoors and engage with nature!
My Experience
I have over 5 years experience of caring for children, both individuals and groups, from birth to 11 years. This includes recent twin experience (both infants and toddlers). I am experienced in Newborn care, and caring for children with allergies and eczema. My most recent position has been looking after 2 children, aged 2 and newborn at the start of the job (now 4 and 1). I have experience in educational settings, in addition to in the home, both in Mainstream settings and Steiner/Waldorf settings. In addition to this, I am an experienced children's music teacher. I am happy to discuss the details of my experience in greater details with individuals.
My Qualifications
I currently hold:
Clear, enhanced DBS check
Paediatric First Aid
Certificate in Introduction to Safeguarding Children
Certificate in Child Positive Discipline (awarded by Attachment Parenting UK)
Montessori in the Home certificate (awarded by the Prepared Montessorian)
I am also studying Music at Newcastle University, and I will be graduating in July.
My Availability
Due to the eldest child of the family I currently work for starting school in September, my current work hours will be changing and I will be open to starting a new job during the day. Ideally, I would be looking for up to 10-20 hours per week from September. I may have some flexibility for a gradual start over the summer. My availability is as follows:
Monday: 9am-2pm (possibility of 9am-5pm)
Tuesday: 9am-2pm (possibility of 9am-5pm)
Wednesday: 9:30am-2:30pm
Thursday: 9:30am-2:30pm (possibility of 9am-4pm)
Please get in touch if any of this is in line with what you are looking for - I can be flexible to an extent.

My kids love Charly! She’s kind, warm and funny. She has a knack of getting the kids to warm to her almost immediately (which in my opinion is her superpower!) they’re always asking after her and have wonderful and interesting days out with her.
Favourite activity so far has included going to the beach, making cupcakes and using Charly as a slide! (She seemed to enjoy this just as much as them!)

Thank you so much for this review Amy. I absolutely love all the time spent with your children, especially as a human slide!
It's been our pleasure to have Charly taking care of our son and see him grow from a baby into
a little boy. She has always been dedicated, responsible and caring. She would bring him (and create with him) new innovative toys that have advanced his sensory skills. We've always felt confident that he is in good hands.
Clearly, she takes her work with babies and children as a real vocation. She has become a part of the family. I'd highly recommend her as a nanny and a babysitter!

Thank you so much for this lovely review, Yael! It is such a privilege and a pleasure to take care of your son, and I am so glad to be part of the family!
Faith that your child is in good hands- nothing else gives a parent more peace. This is the feeling i have had everytime i have charly take care of my 4 month babygirl. She is not only gentle in her care but is punctual, and is well aware of how to adapt to every need of the child. Its been a blessing having her take care of my baby girl… i can go to work and know that i got nothing to worry about. Thank you charly for everything!

Thank you so much for this wonderful review Clarissa! It has been an absolute pleasure to take care of your daughter, and I am so pleased to have been able to help you.
Our overall experience was absolutely delightful. Charly would ask about my daughters likes and dislikes, interests, etc before coming to our house. My girls absolutely adored her. My 1 year old daughter is a proper lockdown baby, but she was amazingly open with Charly. Thank you so much for coming and we will definitely be happy to have you next time.

Thank you so much for this lovely review Estefania, I had a lovely time with your daughters, and I'm so pleased they did too! I'd be very happy to come back again, hopefully see you soon!
Charly worked for us as a Nanny this summer for 6 weeks. For two of those weeks (summer holidays) she was providing full time care for our two boys. They absolutely adored her. She organised lovely activities for them at our home including cooking, craft and games. She also kept them active with trips to the park and the woods. She was patient, kind and fun and took time to find out what their interests were. The following two weeks were the reception settling in weeks for our youngest so in addition to this she organised getting the children to school at the right time including several school runs each day. The last two weeks she provided before and after school care including school runs. On these days she also did some house work and cooked amazing meals for the whole family to eat in the evenings. I would highly recommend Charly as a Nanny, in fact we are hoping that she might consider coming back and looking after the boys in other school holidays if she is available.
