My Summary
About Me
I’m a fun, creative and enthusiastic private early years tutor & nanny with nearly 20 years experience working with children ranging from new born - 17 years.
I have a unique ability to connect with kids of all ages and work out what will stimulate and engage them without being patronising or overbearing. When it comes to looking after children, there is literally never a dull moment with me but I can always be relied upon to keep a close eye on them and return them in one piece!
I recently returned from travelling and am now looking to find new childcare roles and challenges to keep me busy whilst I look for a more permanent position.
My Experience
At 18 I started working as a nursery school assistant 3 full days a week before going to university and drama school. During this time I volunteered 2 days a week at an after-school homework club for underprivileged children. This is where I gained experience looking after children with learning difficulties and behavioural issues and was assigned to work 1:1 with a child with ADHD. For the past 8 years, I have worked as a private tutor for a high-profile family with 5 children, 2 of which are SEN. So I have experience with a wide range of age groups as well as an understanding and sensitivity to a child's individual needs. As well as teaching the children my responsibilities included travelling with the family for up to 2 weeks at a time, overseeing the activities of the older children, accompanying them on their excursions and generally keeping them entertained.
During this time I also did early years tutoring with various clients across London ranging from 4-8 years old as well as tutoring A-level history. In the last 6 months, I have returned to childcare and been part-time nannying for several families on an ad-hoc basis in particular helping out with school pick-ups, meal prep and bedtime routine. I have also been assisting new mothers with infants under 1 year who are working from home and need an extra pair of hands to help with feeds and nap time while they get some work done. So I am confident looking after babies as well as toddlers and older children.

My Fees
- Babysitting from £12.50 per hour
- Nannying from £15.00 per hour (gross)
My rates for anything less than 3 hours is £15 p/ hr but I am willing to be flexible on fees depending on the hours and the level of help required. For baby sitting jobs where the children are already in bed or overnight sits I am happy to consider a reduced fee to reflect the job requirements.
