My Summary

My Experience

I am a dedicated, compassionate, and adaptable childcare professional with six years of nannying experience, working with children from toddlers to school age. Throughout my nanny roles, I have successfully adapted my approach to meet the unique needs of both children and their parents, ensuring that every child feels supported, safe, and encouraged to thrive in a nurturing environment.

I pride myself on being able to think on my feet and tailor activities to suit each child’s developmental stage and interests. For example, I have supported toddlers' motor skills by organising crawling races and obstacle courses that promote movement and coordination. With younger children, I’ve introduced fun, hands-on learning experiences such as baking, where they practise measuring ingredients to build early maths skills while also fostering independence and confidence. I also incorporate real-world experiences such as outdoor play, museum visits, and group activities to help children develop social skills, teamwork, and adaptability.

In my nanny roles, I have taken on responsibilities that go beyond basic childcare. I build trusting relationships with both children and parents by maintaining open communication and providing a reliable, supportive presence. I take the time to understand each family’s routines, expectations, and values so that my care aligns with their parenting style. My experience includes managing daily schedules, organising school runs, preparing meals, and creating stimulating activities that encourage children to grow socially, emotionally, and intellectually.

I am always happy to travel both locally and internationally to support families when needed. I’ve acted as a proxy parent in various situations, where I’ve taken on full responsibility for the children, including managing expenses to ensure everything runs smoothly in the parents’ absence. I’m experienced in adapting to new environments, stepping in to solve challenges, and ensuring children feel secure and cared for, even in unfamiliar settings.

My approach balances structured activities with free play, allowing children to explore their interests and develop independence. I believe children learn best when they feel safe, happy, and engaged, so I take a flexible and nurturing approach that encourages confidence and curiosity. Whether it’s encouraging a toddler’s motor skills through active play or fostering a child’s independence by teaching life skills such as tidying up and meal preparation, I always adapt my methods to suit the child’s personality and developmental stage.

As a caregiver, I strive to create an environment where children feel empowered to explore, learn, and thrive. My goal is to guide children towards becoming confident, well-rounded individuals while providing parents with peace of mind, knowing their children are safe, happy, and progressing every step of the way.
