My Summary
About Me
Dear Families,
I am Niki, a nanny with over 14 years of experience working with children in the UK. I am a qualified early years educator. I am enthusiastic, fun, energetic and hard working. Working in various nursery and school settings, I have acquired a good understanding of children’s needs and development. I aim to give children as many opportunities and experiences as possible in order to engage, motivate and prepare them for future life.
Alongside my jobs, I used to do nannying/ babysitting for about 13 years and managed to form great relationships with the families whom I'm still in contact with. My duties included but not limited to engage children in fun and stimulating activities such as art and craft, take them to park/play groups and cook nutritious food for them. I have experience working with children from newborn to 7 years old.
I'm looking for full time or part time employment as a live out nanny or daytime babysitter from November 2024 with families that are open to have someone with their own child as I have a 1 year old son. Ideally for a few hours on weekdays between 8am - ~3pm to enable me to pick up my eldest from school or a few full days depending on the location but might be flexible for the right family. I have over 14 years of experience, Level 3 Diploma in childcare, DBS check, nanny insurance and paediatric first aid. I have excellent references upon request. I can be OFSTED registered.
Thank you,
Niki

A consummate practitioner of a nanny, Nikki has all the skills a family should expect for the role. Her considerable experience was demonstrable from the start of her time with us. The tone she adopts with children is soft and gentle yet focused and her ability to communicate effectively with them well was unquestionable. This clarity of her communication was also a benefit for her interactions with us, making our planning straightforward. Another of her notable strengths was her planning around the children’s meals, for which her preparation was thoughtful and the food nutritious. In summary, we found Nikki to be a skilful nanny, very comfortable in the profession.
Niki looked after our son between the ages of nine months and two years - until the age he started a nursery. She and her daughter were an integral part of our family during this time - and it’s difficult to put into words how lucky we’ve felt for that to have been the case.
Niki is reliable, punctual and has great attention to detail in everything. She prepared age appropriate food in a way that our son enjoyed eating it. She’s always picked up on the slightest changes in the wellbeing and mood of our son and both alerted us to them and handled them appropriately. She’s taken the initiative to fix broken toys and torn books. She’s helped out with chores for our son and with odd bits around the household.
Niki’s background as a preschool teacher shined through her work; she’s got a depth of knowledge and a keen interest in child development which translated into her day-to-day effort. She repeatedly came up with creative ideas for age appropriate play and activities - always encouraging our son to move onto the next level in terms of his understanding of the world and physical development. Her experience showed in the way she communicated with him, involved him in day-to-day activities and encouraged him to communicate with other children.
We found having Niki’s daughter accompany our son day-to-day delightful. She is a sweet, well behaved and social child. The two children developed side by side, learned from each other and provided invaluable companionship to each other during the pandemic. Niki’s extensive experience with children again showed in the way in which she made sure both children got the appropriate amount of attention by addressing their specific needs.
We cannot recommend Niki enough! She - and her daughter - will be greatly missed by us!
