Loving, caring, happy babysitter
| I started working with children at the age of 14 when I was still in school and got the opportunity to do work based learning. In the last 15 years I have gained a level 1, 2 and 3. I have worked in nurseries, done lots of babysitting jobs, been an Au-pair for 6 months and also was a party host at a bowling alley. I am very passionate about children and teaching them the best for the future. Children are amazing and very clever. Each child has different abilities and I love working with them to help them get better. I love teaching and learning with children in different ways depending on there age. With babies I love doing messy play using shaving foam, paint, water, rice, pasta etc. Older children need you to teach them what might be coming when they start school such as adding and taking away, counting and their alphabet.

Lucy - Private Nanny
| Hi all, I am Lucy and 34 years of age. I have been a Nanny since 2014 and I feel so blessed to be in the job that I am. I have worked for three years in my Nanny career and we have all remained in touch and it is lovely to see the children from time to time. It always amazes me with how much they have grown and developed since the last time I saw them. My first position was with a little baby from 3 months to 2.5 years. I then looked after a little girl from when she was 1 years old to 2 (I am also her Godmother) and finally I am now with a family who I have been with for 4 1/4 years and sadly the position is coming to an end as the girls are 7 and 10 this year and much more self sufficient and at school for a lot longer. Throughout the day I am happy to take the child to playgroups, music classes, the park, play dates etc - I love to be busy and keep the children having fun at all times :) If you think that we could be a good match then please do not hesitate to get in touch, I am looking for two/three/ four days a week. Thanks :)
