My Summary
About Me
I'm a qualified teaching assistant and self-employed nanny. I am currently waiting for my Ofsted registration, having met all the relevant requirements.
I take an inclusive and balanced approach to providing children with the support they need to learn and grow; providing engaging learning support across a broad range of subjects for children of all ages and abilities.
I work according to values of mutual respect, concentration, and kindness. I am passionate about promoting education through play and hands-on interaction, but will always be guided by how the child learns best. When supporting children, my greatest wish is for them to be able to freely and confidently explore themselves and the world around them, knowing I am on hand to help, and for them to thrive in alignment with their own natural inclinations.
I work for myself as a freelance nanny, so I can have multiple clients, short or long term, and you don't need to worry about any of the tax or paperwork!
My Experience
I have experience supporting children with Special Education Needs and a passion for making our world accessible to everyone. I am knowledgeable about disability and believe everybody deserves to be included and given the opportunity to identify and share their unique contributions.
I have worked in a range of settings gathering different insights, this in combination with deep and active listening, enables me to adapt so I can meaningfully support each individual. I have experience in: nannying, babysitting, tutoring, youth mentoring, working with children with SEN and facilitating group support workshops. I currently work with one family and volunteer at the Open Door charity as a youth support worker for year 7-10s.
Having grown up with two energetic younger siblings, supporting little ones is second nature to me; I take a great deal of pride and joy in this work. With my dad at hand on the end of a phone, I began babysitting locally aged 13, caring for children as young as 1, up to my own age at that time! Shortly after, I began tutoring children in my town in the basics of guitar and bass guitar, and would teach them right up until they were as good as me when I would have to hand them over to a qualified grown-up! Throughout my GCSEs and A-Levels, I continued my tutoring experiences, helping students to attain a C grade in French, Maths and English. My more recent experience as a nursery worker and freelance SEN nanny has really solidified my confidence in EYFS and SEN support.
My passions include: reading, playing music, watercolour painting, textiles and fibre arts, writing, nature and mindfulness practice.
Some examples of services you can book me for are:
> Tutoring (Key Stages 1-4, regular or one-off)
> Creative educational play sessions
> Babysitting (regular or one-off)
> Nannying (up to 2 full days a week, including school pick-ups)
