Nanny who goes above and beyond to care for your little ones needs.
| I am a responsible, reliable, polite and approachable 45 year old female. A confident driver of 26 years and have my own fully insured vehicle. Wonderful with children…patient, friendly, fun and kind, though firm but fair.. My interests are, but not limited to - singing, reading, going to the cinema, keeping fit and socialising. My job title may be nanny, though I am happy to muck in and help where required and I treat each child as an individual and allow them to express themselves. My work ethic is to care for a child as I would expect any child of my own to be cared for and take the role of parent when they are unavailable. Over 24 years of childcare experience in a variety of settings - nannying, babysitting, nursery assistant and family support worker...currently a nanny and have done so for the past 20+ years. I have worked with children of all ages, ranging from newborns to teenagers and have experience of caring for twins (babies/toddlers) and have been based throughout Scotland and abroad. I can work on my own initiative whether it be arts and crafts for all ages or outings to park, parent/toddlers or educational activities. Happy to discuss rates and negotiate on a realistic and fair fee.
