Creative Nanny (32) with previous teaching experience!
| I can care for children in different age groups. I love to teach new things, do crafts, explore outside and most of all create amazing bonds. I want to be able to provide parents with the comfort and security of having someone trustworthy watching their little ones. I worked as an English Teacher in Yangon, Myanmar for just over three years. So as well as general childcare, I can also help with homework tutoring and teaching younger children how to read. I've worked with ages 4-14 and I love to learn all of their different personalities and interests. Managing multiple classes takes organization, adaptability and proactivity; whilst always allowing time for fun! These assets and experience, I can bring to a family in the best way you require. My current experience is working with a family of two children (4yo + 2yo) on Wednesdays and Thursdays. This includes weekly activities of soft play, Moo Music at Mace Playce and rhyme time at Chelmsford library. Just like the many kids I've taught, I love to be a part of them discovering and developing. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you feel I could be the right fit for your family!

Babysitting service
| Hi my name is Maham. I am a 26 year old who enjoys babysitting. I have studied level 3 childcare in college. As I come from a big Asian family, I have always been surrounded by babies and children. As well as this I have experience working with babies and children through childminding, babysitting and in a nursery setting. In my free time I enjoy baking and travelling. I am looking for a babysitting/childminding job. The reason why I enjoy working with children (especially babies) is because I find it very rewarding to help babies/children develop and to reach their milestones. If I can be of any help please feel free to contact me. I have childcare certificate qualifications and a DBS to show. Thanku.

| I’m a Technical Proposal Writer for a company in London (started October 2020) and graduated last July with a 2:1 degree classification in English Literature with Creative Writing. The childcare experience I have is looking after my godmother’s children sometimes when she has an evening out with her husband; three girls ageing between 7-12. I cook them dinner, we play games and I also put them to bed. Also, I’m a student ambassador for my university where I look after groups of primary and secondary school children who come to my uni for school trips, as well as visiting schools and leading talks/classrooms. I’m an incredibly tidy, chatty and bubbly person who loves to read, writing stories as well as drawing, sports (such as figure skating), and I also run 10k and half marathons across the country to raise money for charity. I enjoy socialising with my friends and family in my spare time.

I am a mature, caring, sensible and sensitive lady with years of experience
| Between 1992 and 2003 I was a nanny for 6 private families over this time. The ages of the children that I cared for ranged from new born through to 9 years old. I’m still in touch with families that I nannied for all those years ago. In my previous nannying positions I’ve cared for the children, done food preparation/cooking and feeding, bathing, light housework, taking to activities, school runs, help with homework. I left nannying in 2003 to raise my own family, with running a building company while raising my 3 children. More recently I’ve been in a position where I care for young adults with learning disabilities, but I feel the time is right to return to childcare/nannying.
