My Summary
About Me
I'm Harry. I'm a French-speaking male nanny currently in the process of gaining the qualifications to become a governor/tutor for private households.
Yes, male nannies are a rarity! But this is a career path I have chosen with care due to my passion for teaching, for neurodivergent learning and for nurturing creativity and confidence in children.
Families often opt for a male nanny when they are looking for a male role model or for a "big brother" role for older children.
I have seven siblings and grew up between England and France. As a person with ADHD, I feel like I was failed by both school systems and as a result am interested in alternative education methods such as Montessori.
Project based learning, for example, which is when a child focuses on one singular topic of interest for several weeks, is particularly suited to children with ADHD who tend to hyper focus.
This is what motivates me- to provide fulfilling and exciting educational care to the children in my charge.
I'm safety-oriented, hold a diploma with full distinctions in Paramedic Science and am first aid trained. I'm also fire-trained and have great housekeeping skills, thanks to my time spent undertaking a superyacht interior course. I'm a strong swimmer and snowboarder. I know some families like to have cameras in their homes for peace of mind. I completely understand this and am comfortable with it.
My most recent role was as a full time manny for a 6 month old baby boy in which I would plan suitable and stimulating experiences such as baby music classes along with speaking to the child in both English and French.
I have taught languages, circus activities, art and theatre as part of a youth club and worked as a ski manny.
In full transparency, I am registered with several London and Parisian nanny agencies. However, roles for male nannies are few and far between hence my profile on childcare.co.uk.
I'm seeking a full time position, ideally a role that requires some teaching capacity (ie learning French, organising educational activities, creative learning, homework...)
I am willing to travel and relocate.
