About Me

A proactive, flexible, bubbly and experienced nanny with 15 years experience of working with children and young people. A can do attitude, loving, caring and hardworking.

A proven ability to follow instructions and use my own initiative. A preference to working with preschool and school age children, looking for a full time, part time or a pro rata position which can include full time in school holidays, preferably a permanent role but would consider a long term contract or maternity cover, however I am only looking for sole charge positions. I am a very flexible nanny and I have no problem in working outside of my core hours such as weekends, overnight stays or babysitting should the family require it, but would appreciate as much notice as possible.

I will of course take on meal and snack preparation for the children, plus any nursery duties needed. I have pa and administration experience both from working in an office and as a nanny having done admin for families business during school times. I am also happy to run any family errands when needed for bitt family and children; however not full housekeeping or cleaning outside of nanny duties. I am also happy to look after, walk and take care of any family pets as I'm a huge animal lover.

I have great local knowledge and many ideas for both indoor and outdoor activities. I am a subscriber to creative play and a very creative nanny myself who loves both the outdoors and drawing, painting, baking etc. I am also very pro active and happy to look into out of school activities should you require it, such as clubs, classes, groups and tutors. I'm excellent at providing homework support and will help with any developmental mile stones. I have an introduction to teaching qualification and done some private tutoring, alongside some of my part time nanny jobs.

Lastly I adore children and this is not just a job for me it is a career that I'm passionate about. I throughly enjoy looking after and supporting children and want to be a positive role model in children's live, empowering them and supporting them both educationally and with important life skills.

My Experience

I first started my career working with disadvantaged children with numerous behavioural problems and issues as a residential social worker in children's homes and independent living accommodation. Moving into support work and finally qualifying with my NVQ level 4 in advice and guidance while working for Connexions as a personal advisor (careers advisor and CV specialist).
I'm also a mentor and have both written and facilitated lesson plans and group workshops on basic skills and personal development. Im qualified to work as an assessor for young people in the work place and a have a PTTLS introduction to teaching qualification, very able and capable with providing homework support.

In 2013 I decided to have a career change as I wanted a job where I could be out and about more as well as being able to use my more creative side. I wanted to work with both younger children, preferably school age children or pre school using my existing skills to support their learning and development and decided I would like to work as a nanny or nanny pa; I've never looked back I love it.

During my career working with children and young people I have worked in a variety of different places including children's homes, schools, colleges, youth clubs, Connexions centres, youth offending teams and as a nanny in private homes, so I am comfortable in a variety of different locations and settings working both independently as well as part of a team, in other words also a good support network to the parents as well.
