About Me

I am a caring, reliable and positive person with over 15 years experience working with children from the ages of 6 months - 12 years old. I am a qualified Early Years worker/Nanny and have made the most of learning opportunities throughout my career to keep me up to date with current practice.

I am passionate about ensuring the best outcomes for children and families I work for. Mindfully supporting them in a nurturing environment. I have encouraged and enabled families through developmental milestones such as weaning, potty training, starting school and home schooling.

Please be in touch if you would like to view CV and excellent references.

Child Development

While the above jobs all have similar duties with the common denominator being to care for children, my experience and role has been diverse. Working on the Supply List for East Ayrshire Council as an Early Years Worker I was required to be flexible and adaptable in a variety of Nursery settings. I have learnt the importance of establishing and building good relationships with staff and quickly developing a good rapport with children. To date my experience has been working in Early Childhood Centres, catering for children from eight weeks to five years old; all of the children in the eight weeks to three years old age range have been referred by Social Work. I have gained significant experience working with and implementing Birth to Three, Curriculum for Excellence, Child at the Centre, Solihull Approach and Nurture Approach. As a Key worker I am disciplined in ensuring paperwork is up to date and responsible for my own group’s portfolios, individual plans, observations, evaluations, tracking, transition and ELATS. I have extensive experience creating partnerships with parents, from liaising with them daily, to Parent Workshops.

In my role as a Nanny, I was responsible for the care and nurture of up to four children at a time; caring for them in their home environment; I supported them in reaching developmental milestones and was spontaneous in day to day activities.
In Australia I broadened my experience as Team Leader of the baby room and toddler room, I thrived on this role and my confidence grew.

In New Zealand I worked in a small Nursery of twenty one children, aged eight weeks to five years old. Hargest Nursery was open plan enabling all children to engage and interact with each other in the same area, whilst here I worked with the Te Whariki – The early childhood curriculum.

TEFL. (Teaching English as a foreign language)

While teaching English as a foreign language at Herriot Watt University, Edinburgh and St James Institute, Spain during summer camps it was my role to prepare and deliver lessons to a variety of ages, levels and abilities. It was my focus to make the lessons for the children interesting and fun.

Eilidh was so so lovely and took her time to get to know our 4-5 month old baby; on our request, we had a few trial runs before the day we wanted Eilidh to look after our baby for several hours and they all went very well. All the time Eilidh was attentive and open to suggestions, asking questions and understanding when our plans changed slightly. On the day, we felt completely comfortable leaving our baby with Eilidh. We would thoroughly recommend Eilidh to anyone with young and very young children.
