I am 35 years old, based in Chiswick. I am English and a non-smoker.
I am hoping to bring my daughter to work with me, which could be negotiable of course.
I have worked in childcare for over 14 years, initially in a nursery and as a sole charge nanny for the last 9 years.
I really enjoy working with children, and most importantly creating a safe, fun, happy and loving environment for the child to thrive in. I actively encourage them to grow and develop through skilled crafts and outings. Groups, classes, trips to the library/park/museums are all part of a good well rounded routine.
I only serve nutritious meals as a rule, a balanced diet is best, but I also follow the parents requests and food routines. I enjoy cooking, always try to introduce new foods to the child's diet, and finding creative ways to include vegetables and fruits, especially in convenient snack firms.
Good manners and a firm set of morals are a large part of my approach to help the child grow confident and capable.
I do not drive, but I am very comfortable and confident in taking young children and babies on public transport when needed.
My Experience
I had my own daughter in April 2021 and I have worked in childcare for over 14 years now in various nurseries, babysitting and nannying positions.
I have worked with children between the ages of newborn and 5 years mostly, but I have cared for older children up to 11 years as well. Most importantly, I have worked as a sole charge nanny for the past 9 years, and I have carried out individual routines, planned development and organized playgroups, park and soft play area outings, homework, music practice, prepared healthy meals, behaviour management, childrens' washing, general tidying and nursery duties.
My daughter has been coming to work with me for the past 2 years now, and has formed great bonds and relationships with the children I have worked with. Providing opportunities for socialisation, turn taking, sharing and general fun.
I am consequently confident I can provide a safe, suitable and developmentally appropriate environment and follow routines extremely well for children.

Vicki worked full time with our family from September 2023 to January 2024 taking care of our 1 year old son.
She was an absolute pleasure to work with and I will happily attest to the following:
- Vicki is highly professional and experienced with children. She is proactive in her approach while also being very responsive to our wishes.
- The arrangement with her daughter joining her worked very well for us as it provided our son a playmate throughout the day. Vicki easily managed the requirements of both children.
- Vicki is highly flexible. She was able to adjust working days as needed and happily cared for our older son on days when his nursery was closed at short notice (during this period, Vicki managed all three childen with ease).
- She is honest and transparent on all matters. Trust is the most important aspect in hiring a nanny and we were able to build this very quickly with Vicki.
- Vicki is extremely reliable. She is always on time and does exactly what she says she will do.
Vicki was an excellent addition in our family setup and were it not for our youngest moving on to a nursery place, we would certainly have continued our employment of Vicki. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her to any prospective family.

Vicki worked both full and part time as our nanny for over a year and was flexible, reliable and courteous. She is calm under pressure and always willing to step in at short notice.
Vicki brought her daughter to work with her which was no bother as she is very happy and easygoing and my children built a great bond with her.

Thank you, was a pleasure to care for you children.
Vicki was our Nanny from Oct 2019 until her maternity leave cIrca April 2021. She was amazing with our now 4 y.o. boy and 18m girl. Vicki was with us when we went from one to two little ones and was great with new born baby as well as our toddler.
Vicki is exceptionally kind, considerate, generous and caring. She was very focused on the learning and development of our children and brings her experience of EYFS to the fore. She is also great at creative play, arts and crafts, etc.
Both our children and us formed a great bond with Vicki and we still see her socially which is a testament to the impact she has had on our family.
We would highly recommend Vicki to a local family for any position looking after their little treasures.
Best John & Heather

Thank you, was a pleasure to care for your children.
Vicki has been helping out our family at short notice on a temporary basis. I have 3 boys aged 2, 5 and 8.
As we are here for a short time, we don't have many toys and games with us. Vicki turned up with wonderful books for us to borrow while we are here. She is an Usborne rep and so the quality of the books she brought was amazing. Not only that but she was incredibly thoughtful in her choice for all of the boys, picking things that aligned with their interests and abilities - which she had managed to discern in a very short space of time. In addition she has brought craft activities for them to do as well as flowers and colouring for them to do science experiments. She also has a wealth of fun activities, songs and games up her sleeve to engage the children.
She is very patient with the boys, able to set boundaries clearly but kindly and they have all been really enjoying her company. She is fully capable of looking after all 3 of the boys (at home or taking them out to the park), or just one or two while I am engaged with the other/s. My two year old always asks for her - even when she's not here - which is wonderful given he's only had a couple of weeks with her.
Vicki is also really helpful with things around the house and takes initiative to fold laundry, clean up the kitchen, give things a tidy up etc without being asked. She is able to look and see what needs to be done to keep things running smoothly.
I would highly recommend Vicki to anyone looking for a wonderful Nanny.
