My Summary

My Experience

I have over 10 years childcare experience as a babysitter, childminder assistant and more recent years as a full time nanny with children from birth up to 16 years old.
I currently work for 2 families in a nanny share, with 3 children aged 10 months, 3 years & years old.

Mika & Miko Cheung - May 2023 - current
I started this full time position when Mika was 2 years old, Milo was born 3 months later and I assisted with newborn care while taking care of Mika - attending classes and toddler groups, socialising with other children and educational activities. When Milo was around 3 months he would come with me to Mikas groups and classes just for the morning then at 6 months I took him full time.

Nolan, Nyla, Vesper - February 2020 - December 2022
I returned to this Job after Nolan was born and his mum went back to work for 3 days when he was 12 months old, his sisters were 5 & 8. I continued to work through the pandemic with them, helping with school work and coming up with educational games and activities. Once the girls were back to school I took Nolan to playgroups and playdates at the park with friends - he now has a close group of friends we see weekly. Sophie (see job below) Joined us as a nanny share in September 2021 while Nolan was 2 and Sophie was 16 months. We continued our routine of playgroups, parks, willows and the Zoo.

William & Annabella - April 2019 - January 2020
I started looking after Annabella when she was 12 months old and her brother had just turned 3. William was mostly at nursery so i mainly cared for Annabella. We met with friends, enjoyed time at the library, willows and playgroups. I would make all the meals for the children, sort their washing and keep bedrooms/play-areas tidy. This job ended due to Annabella starting full time nursery, however i still babysit for them regularly.

I would arrive at 7.30am give him breakfast then we would head out to a play or music group, home for lunch and nap then we would take a walk to a park in the afternoon, home for dinner and bath before his parents arrived home. This continued until May 2020 when Sophie was born, i continued my routine with Jacob for 2 days a week while helping out with the baby whenever we were home to give mum a rest. When Sophie was 7 months she stayed with myself and Jacob for 2 full days while their mum went back to work. In September 2021 Sophie along with me to my Job with Nolan, Nyla & Vesper 3 days a week as a nanny share she fitted in really well and enjoyed doing activities with the other children, her and Nolan have an incredible bond & friendship because of the nanny share.
