My Summary
Esther The Nanny
About Me
Hi, my name is Esther, I am approachable, kind and caring and I have a passion for working with children of all ages.
I would describe my nannying style as a mix between gentle & responsive with elements of the Montesorri method. As a nanny I encourage independence and child led play - I thoroughly enjoy looking after children, arranging fun and enjoyable outings to keep children busy and active without the use of screens, but also like to plan simple activities to support their development. Whether that's through exploring the outdoors, swimming, visiting local parks or play areas. But also helping to develop children's creativity and curiosity through painting, reading, messy play, baking/cooking to name just a few.
I am happy to help in all aspects of childcare including cooking meals from scratch and weaning, organising clothes and toys, helping with baby routines and sleep, bath and bed time routine, arranging social calendar, accompanying family on holidays, babysitting and staying overnight, potty training, helping with homework, school/nursery drop offs/pick ups e.c.t.

My Experience
I have been babysitting for over 15 years and nannying for over 12 years for several different families with children from newborn to teenagers.
As part of my Early Childhood degree I also gained experience within many nurseries, pre-schools and primary schools, so with a range of children aged 6 months - 8 years.
In one of my previous positions I worked with a family for 3.5 years, when I started they had one child, who was 12 months old and when I left to move to the Cotswolds they had two children aged 2.5 and 4.5 years old. My hours were around 12 hours a day, at least 3 days per week, although this did vary depending on the parents working schedule.
Some of my duties included, school drop off/collection, potty training, accompanying the children to swimming lessons, children's laundry, occasional overnight care, preparing and cooking the children's meals, taking the children to various weekly groups and activities, bath and bedtime routine and having lots of fun at home and in the local area going out and about exploring. When the youngest was a baby I also helped with weaning, bottle feeding and sterilising.
Since July 2021 I have been working for a family full-time with 4 children aged 6 months, 2 years, 4 years and 6 years as of Feb 24.
I am a finalist for the 2024 Nanny of the Year Award (results in June).
