My Summary
About Me
Hi Lovely Parents,
After taking a year out I am ecstatic to be able to play the rewarding role of childcarer again!
I am a British childcarer, based in Essex so can work in this area or within reasonable proximity quite efficiently.
Reliable, flexible, engaging childcare provider, who adores caring for little ones in the best manner possible, in the hopes to make them exquisite members of society. Overall, I consider myself to be the perfect balance of mature and playful needed to work with children. Equip with a warm heart, big smile and patience, I hope to provide the knowledge, discipline and most importantly, the fun-filled nurturing environment in which your child(ren) can grow. I strive to use creative teaching methods to encourage brain-friendly learning; utilizing my pleasant, playful, patient nature to care for children and nurture growth.
I have gained quality childcare experience within the nannying, daycare, nursery and primary sector spread over several years using the British National Curriculum. As well as experience working with children with various needs e.g. ADHD, autism, global learning difficulties and hearing impairments.
I have a keen interest in child development during the formative years leading up to and during adolescence; primarily how to more effectively instigate high achievement in younger years. I believe that nurturing effective social and emotional behaviour in children can play an important role in impacting a student’s academic achievement. Therefore I aim to create a healthy environment that facilitates personality, skills and knowledge growth through active learning.
*Also great with dogs as I have my own!*

Jessica was our nanny for 1 year. She showed so much care and love to my 3 kids. She organised games, creative activities, cooking activities, and days out. She also helped us train our new puppy. She kept the house tidy and encouraged the kids to do their chores. We will miss her dearly. X

Jessica was a great nanny for my children. Really organised with creative activities for the children. Jessica is good with children all ages boy or girl. It was a relief to know that Jessica could take charge of the school pick ups and the children would get their homework done and have a cooked meal before I got home. Most of all Jessica ensured that the children had fun whilst making sure they were well cared for. Jessica was really good at encouraging the children to remember their manners, that they maintained positive behaviour and that they followed our home schedule. In addition she was a great help whilst I was busy with work and studying I knew the children would be well looked after and entertained. I highly recommend Jessica and/or any of the childcare services she supplies.
