My Summary
About Me
I am a dedicated 36-year-old nanny residing in southeast London with a degree in Education. I possess recent certifications in First Aid and Safeguarding, which I diligently renew every two years, along with a valid DBS check.
As a non-smoker with a full UK driving license and access to a vehicle, I am equipped to provide reliable and safe care for your children.
My professional interests include sole charge nanny positions, shared nanny roles, and occasional babysitting opportunities. I am adept at managing both solo and collaborative childcare responsibilities.
Ideally, I prefer roles where I can occasionally bring my own children – aged 9 and 2 during non-term time – to work. While this has been feasible in my recent positions and is supported by excellent references, I am flexible and understand that it may not always be possible.
My commitment to working with children stems from a genuine passion, reflected in my pursuit of an educational degree. I firmly believe in nurturing and guiding children, recognizing them as the cornerstone of our future.
My Experience
I have 19 years of experience that I believe could be effectively utilized.
In my current role, I nanny a 5-year-old whom I have cared for since she was 9 months old. My routine is flexible to the family’s lifestyle and the child’s needs, covering holidays, inset days, and family engagements. The family is due to relocate in September 2024, so I will be open to a new position.
My duties include planning daily indoor activities such as homework support, arts and crafts, and cooking, as well as organizing outings to parks, libraries, and local classes. I also handle pickups from school, extracurricular activities, and twice-monthly sleepovers to allow the parents to have their own time, while providing nutritious meals and home comforts.
Additionally, I care for two other children on an ad hoc basis during school hours, depending on their parents' schedules, alongside my own two children outside of their school/nursery timetable. The children benefit from interacting with each other, and the different age groups help encourage development in speech and fine motor skills.
Prior to my current role, I worked with a family with a young boy with special educational needs (SEND), planning daily activities, pickups from school, meal preparation, and maintaining the child's room.
Other experiences include caring for a 3-year-old girl while her parents were at work, as well as working as a live-out nanny for a young girl and providing part-time care for a 2-year-old boy.
I've also babysat for infants and toddlers and have experience as a nursery nurse, room leader, and playworker.
Ideally, I'm looking for a position that offers a minimum of 20 hours per week and appreciates my level of flexibility, qualifications, and experience.
My Qualifications
I have completed a National Diploma in Child Care Learning and Development level 3 in 2011.
I also completed my Early Years Degree levels 4, 5 and 6 at Kingston university 2014.
I also have First Aid and Safeguarding, which I diligently renew every two years, along with a valid DBS check.
My Availability
I am available Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays 7:30-7:30 and evening baby sitting during the week and weekends.
