About Me

I have over fourteen years’ experience as a Nanny and during this time looked after children aged between newborn to eleven years. I have an up-to-date Early-Years First Aid qualification, I am registered with Ofsted and also have a CACHE Level 3 qualification in childcare and education. I am a member of Pacey and regularly update my childcare qualifications including EYFS, Safeguarding, Supporting Children with Speech. Language and Communication Needs training. My experience has given me knowledge and confidence to be competent to work with children of all age groups. I adore looking after children and enjoy helping and supporting a family during their child’s precious early years.

What I enjoy so much about being a Nanny is the professional satisfaction from teaching and watching a child’s development. I am a highly imaginative and enthusiastic person and take pleasure in entertaining and educating children through the use of music, dance, story-telling, creative play, baking and crafts. I am friendly and approachable and enjoy building a good rapport with local parents.

I enjoy writing and performing music and regularly attend live music events. I keep my interest in dance by seeing performances and attending dance classes. I enjoy reading, yoga and walking and have a keen interest in historic attractions.I am a keen crafter and enjoy knitting and cross-stitch
