My Summary
About Me
NOT LOOKING AT THE MOMENT BUT WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR SCHOOL HOLIDAY CARE
I have been qualified for 30 years and have extensive experience in all aspects of childcare, including bringing up my 3 girls aged 20, 24, and 26 years. I love reading, walking, socialising with friends, and spending time with my family. I have triplet and twin experience.
My Experience
I have worked for several years as a family nanny.
At present, I work as an emergency nanny with an agency. I work with children up to 14 years. I also work 2-3 days a week with 15 month old twins and a 4 year old, term time only.
Most recently, I returned to work with the triplets, now 1 year old, for a 6 week stint.
From Jan 2023, i have had two temporary positions - one with 5 children aged 8 months -13 years and one with an 15 month old.
From Nov -Dec 2022, i worked ad-hoc with newborn triplets. I am returning there temprarily from June-july 2023, 2 days a week.
I have worked with 4 sets of twins aged from newborn -12 years. I enjoy working with pre-schoolers and school-age children alike.
I have also had many years of experience in various nurseries, as a childminder in my own home and in a school setting both with special needs and mainstream children.
I have done lots of temporary and cover work jobs in nurseries and as a family nanny. I qualified in 1994 and have worked with children ever since.
I have excellent contactable references and am still in touch with many of the families I have worked for. I still do ad-hoc work for 3 of my them.
My Qualifications
NNEB, NVQ 3 in child care and education, I have done makaton sign language courses and visual impairment training, and a distance learning special needs course which I got a distinction in. I went to Chiltern college, which is a private training college. I am Ofsted registered and have public liability insurance.

Claire has looked after our two boys for almost two months (before they started at a new nursery - we'd have happily kept her for longer!). She's been brilliant with them (they're quite a handful) and has kept them busy with activities out and about as well as arts, crafts, cooking indoors.
She's the perfect balance of kind and patient whilst also being firm and reminding them of their pleases and thank yous when necessary!
Claire has kept to our routine re naps and food times and fed them wholesome, healthy food. When I'm working from home, she's a delight to have around the house.
Thank you so much Claire! x

Claire has been a nanny on and off (as and when we needed her) for our triplets since they were only a few months old. The babies have been absolutely taken with Claire and immediately bonded. Claire was not phased in the slightest by our three amigos…even when they started crawling! She made play time fun and while fully accommodating our routine also had some great ideas that we incorporated too! Any family would be lucky to have Claire look after their babies.

Thank you so much for the great review. I have enjoyed working for you and getting to know the triplets
We could not recommend Claire more highly, both as a nanny and as a person. She quickly formed a bond with both our twin babies, taking the trouble to get to know each of them and the different things that made them happy. They were both devoted to her by the time she left. She came up with imaginative ideas for play and took the trouble to research and book toddler classes to introduce us to the area. She is particularly organised and self-starting, always taking the initiative and remaining enthusiastic. She is exceptionally punctual and never let us down or was late while she was with us, usually arriving around 10 mins early.

Claire worked with us during an interim period, before our permanent Nanny could begin. She was always on time, never let me down once and coped with the demands of five children beautifully (including two with additional needs). She is a great cook and the children warmed to her quickly. She is caring and kind but able to also handle any discipline with ease, ensuring that there was no chaos in the home (which my children are great at creating). I trust her completely and any family would be very lucky to have her as their nanny
