My Summary
Sandra Jarvis, Nanny
About Me
I am an OFSTED registered Nanny living in the Yateley area.
I AM DELIGHTED TO HAVE BEEN AWARDED 'GOOD' IN MY LAST OFSTED INSPECTION IN APRIL 2018.
During Covid-19 lock-down I had to close my doors to my wonderful Childminding families. I was offered an urgent care role with a lovely keyworker family Nannying for their young daughter as they needed emergency childcare and have been happily Nannying ever since.
My focus is very much child-led, the child/children are my focus throughout the day. I tailor activities and outings to suit each child’s ages, developmental level and interests whilst keeping the child/children safe at all times.
I am DBS checked (and on the update service), fully insured, OFSTED registered, have a CACHE Childcare Diploma, have completed my child protection training (advanced level) and I last completed my Paediatric First Aid Training update course in November 2022. I continue to undertake professional development training courses throughout the year to ensure that I keep myself up to date.
I regularly attend local toddler groups, soft play areas, library, parks, garden centres and a variety of outdoor spaces such as Wisley Gardens, the Lookout, Saville Gardens and Virginia Waters amongst other places such as local parks and green spaces. I like to provide every day experiences in a warm and caring manner from the comfort of your home. Working closely with parents to ensure the best possible care for your child. I enjoy visiting a variety of different places to enhance and broaden the children’s learning experiences. I also enjoy messy play including crafts, painting, play dough, and cooking with the children. My main priority is that each child is well cared for, enjoys their time whilst I’m caring for them and learns and progresses. I am also a non-smoker. I’m happy to undertake various child-related ad-hoc tasks also such as tidying up, children’s laundry, cooking etc.
I also have experience too of hotel babysitting, 1:1 wedding nannying (for the Bride & Groom), wedding crèches and have recently helped provide childcare at a festival.

My Experience
I started my childcare career as a Childminder after having my daughter when she was 2.5 years old. I thoroughly enjoyed the 15 + years I did this for. Previous to this and also a few years ago during the Covid pandemic I had some temporary work giving me my first opportunity as a Nanny. At the same time I also worked part-time at a local nursery. My Husband and I have two grown up children (young adults). Our Daughter now lives independently with her partner locally and our son is away at university. I also have a step-Son and have in total over 29 years of experience caring for children.
I also have experience of caring for children with a variety of additional needs and those who might need a little extra support.
Please feel free to browse through my reviews or contact any of my parents should you wish.

Sandra helped with a children’s crèche along with activities at an event I was holding. I found her to be a positive, adaptable, reliable and friendly person. She was great not only with the children, but the adults as well. I would highly recommend her.

I hired Sandra to look after my two young children on my wedding day. She was an excellent Nanny from start to finish and I couldn't have wished for anyone better. Sandra made a huge effort to get to know my children and their routines during a quick meet up prior to the wedding and straight away we knew she would be perfect. Smiley, fun, understanding and also incredibly realistic. Her experience and wealth of knowledge meant that we did not need to worry about our children throughout our wedding. I have recommended her to other friends and family in need of an event nanny and they have been equally impressed with her. If I ever needed a day to day nanny then I know exactly who I would be contacting first!

Just wanted to say thanks again for your help at our wedding. Sandra was amazing with our 13 month old daughter and so helpful before and especially throughout the day. She was great with the little ones and you could tell she really loves what she does. It made everything much less stressful. The day went really well and was exactly what we wanted with thanks to Sandra.

Sandra was amazing both in her care for our 2 young children and helping us with anything she could. We traveled in from the states and wanted to know our kids were in good hands and she went above and beyond and even dropped in last minute when our plans changed and arranged another nanny on a day she wasn't available. Wish she was available in the states because we'd love having her with us more! Thank you

Thank you Sandra for your help with emergency child care and keeping the little one happy and safe. Getting someone new to look after the child is always stressful but you made it easier for us.
