My Summary
About Me
Hello, my name is Poppy! I am 25 years old and I am a qualified Norland Nanny & Maternity Practitioner. Bilingual in English and Spanish, having grown up in Spain despite being born in England, I bring a unique cultural perspective to my role. I excel in creating a nurturing, safe, and secure environment that fosters children's growth and development at their own pace. My strong communication skills have enabled me to build solid, trusting relationships with employers and colleagues, who consistently describe me as punctual, well-presented, and reliable.
My Experience
I have extensive experience in childcare, having worked with children of various ages in different settings, from sole charge roles to placements during my Norland training. Here’s a brief summary:
Recent Roles:
March 2023 - July 2024: Provided sole charge care for two adopted children (ages 1 and 5) in a same-sex parent household. I managed daily routines, educational activities, playdates, school pick ups and meal planning.
September 2021 - December 2022: I cared for a 1-year-old girl, continuing on from my Norland NQN (newly qualified nanny) year. Responsibilities included meal preparation, educational outings, and establishing routines, with a focus on social skills and language development.
Previous Roles:
2019 - 2021: Sole charge of two children (ages 2 and 4) after school and during holidays for a bilingual family, enhancing their Spanish language skills.
2018 - 2019: Au pairing and proxy parenting roles, managing routines and activities for children aged 2 to 10.
2016 - 2017: Summer camp and event childcare roles, gaining diverse experience.
Training Experience:
Norland Training (2019 - 2021): Varied placements including newborn care, nursery work, and live-in family roles. I gained skills in managing routines, potty training, and supporting developmental milestones in children from infancy to early childhood.
Due to my experiences I have developed strong skills in routine management, educational play, language development, and adapting to different family dynamics and age groups.
Since finishing my last role I have returned to Norland College to train as a Maternity Practitioner.
