About Me

Hi there - my name is Lucy MacLean and I am 34 years of age. I relocated to East London (Shadwell) from Gloucestershire in May 2014 and I absolutely loved it in the big city!! We are now living in Colchester with our gorgeous little pooches called Lily and Bo :-)When I first moved to London I found a nannying job for the summer for a lovely family on holiday in England who were from New Orleans. They had 3 gorgeous children who were 6,4 and 5months. They then moved back to America.


I then looked after a little boy from when he was 3 months old to 2.5 years and we had great fun together and we formed the most amazing bond! We loved going to the local playgroups together, he enjoyed his music classes (as do I) :) , we always would get outside and get fresh air.. Feeding the ducks was a firm favourite and of course going to the park and playing on the swings and everything else!!! We also enjoyed having play dates a couple of times a week too!

I also then looked after another little girl from when she was just over 2 years old and we again formed a fantastic bond and did lots of lovely things together and got outside as much as possible, went to playgroups and of course enjoyed play dates too and we loved getting creative! I looked after this little one for three days a week whilst the other little boy was at nursery so I was working for two families at the time.

Both positions then came to an end as both children when to nursery full time - I am still in touch with both families which is wonderful.

My last nannying position in London was looking after a little girl from when she was 1 years old for a year and four months and we just have the most incredible bond, so much so.. the parents asked me to be her godmother shortly after the position came to an end :-).

I am currently looking after two wonderful little girls who are 9 and 6 and have been with them since November 2018. Sadly the time has come for the job to come to an end - this is purely due to the fact that the girls are at school for so much longer and are also a lot more self sufficient now. I look after some other children on a Tuesday, Thursday and Friday - I do the drop off and pick up. I am going to have availability on a Monday and Wednesday all day but there could be the potential to swap some days but of course would need to speak with my other family first.

I firmly know that my career is with children and I can't wait to pursue it further. I have worked in baby rooms in the two different nurseries that I have worked in all the way up to pre school age. I have a degree in Health and Social Care Management and gained a 2:2 and a lot of the modules covered childcare. I feel that I m very knowledgeable and understand all the specific areas of childcare and I have a fantastic understanding of the Early Years Foundation Stage,

Travel is not a problem at all for me and am happy to go to wherever you are and your children. I am a very fun loving individual and am always happy - I never have the time to be down - life is what you make it :)



I do so hope to hear from you :)

Update; I have now taken on a new position but do have availability all day on a Wednesday for any adhoc childcare that you may need. Please do get in touch if this is something you may require :)

My Experience

I first started volunteering in a nursery when i was 15, i then returned to school and after University i have worked in two different nurseries now over the past five years since graduating from University.

Before I moved to London I was babysitting a lot for the children from the last two nurseries that I have worked at and have stayed in touch and still speak with the parents and help them out from time. I would have no problem getting references for you!

I have over seven years of experience working with children in nurseries and nannying. I am always proactive, taking initiative and always make sure that I follow the families wishes with doing things the way that they are used to :)

I always cook from fresh and make sure children are eating home cooked healthy meals.

I am currently training to become a counsellor with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. I have just passed my Level 2 and will be going on to start Level 3 in January. This is a part time diploma which takes place every other weekend for the next three years. At the end of the diploma I hope to be able to become a child counsellor alongside nannying.
