Nannies in Inverleith

| I was a self employed childminder for 14 years. I started Valley Childminding with a friend in October 2007 as we wanted to work for ourselves. Due to health reasons with my business partner we closed the business in April 2020. I'm a hard worker who loves working with children it's all I wanted to do since I was at school and I want to stay in childcare as I feel that's where I belong. Due to my childminding career I have plenty ideas for activities, not afraid to get messy, go out in outings, cook meals and do some housework when necessary. I live near the Western General hospital but cause I don’t drive I would either have to get public transport to your house or walk if possible. Will be starting lessons when it's safe to do so. Due to the pandemic I had to give up my last nanny job due to the uncertainty of the virus & the parents working from home. I currently work in retail but obviousy want to get back in to childcare as that's where my passion lies.

| I am an experienced child caregiver with experience in caring for children in a nursery setting alongside being a nanny to children from birth to 9 years for a number of years. I love the outdoors, creative play and really bonding with a family and also love to cook! I love taking children swimming, setting up play dates and social outings as well as doing fun learning activities taking into account each child's interests. My whole working life had been centered around childcare, until four years ago where I had taken a break from childcare to experience a different field of work. I have worked my way up to a project management role which has given me experience in managing relationships in a different way and has boosted my enthusiasm even more for getting stuck back into childcare.

My name is Fiona and I have a Degree in Art. I have spent many years teaching and doing art projects with ages ranging from 4-11 years olds. I have a fantastic rapport with children and just recently took part in a training course which enable me to teach children Mindfulness. I have worked in schools, art centres and continue to inspire children with fun and art. Excellent references too.

| My name is Andrea, I am a 33 years old and I am from Spain. I am positive,cheerful, easy-going, creative,commited, energetic,reliable and kind. I have been living in Edinburgh for almost 5 years. I have been working as a nanny here in Edinburgh as well as a nursery practitioner in the preschool department for 9 months. I am currently working as a nanny but because the little one I look after starts nursery end of October (the third week to be more accurated) I am seeking for a new job as a nanny.

| I was a primary school teacher for 5 years, and am currently on a career break. I have experience of looking after my three nieces, who's current ages range from 4 months, 2 years and 5 years.

| I have 4 years combined experience within childcare roles with ages 7-12. These 4 years involved a 2 year full time nannying/housekeeping role. I still work with this family ad hoc. I had varied roles and responsibilities over these years including general nannying duties, homeschooling, cooking, batch cooking, laundry, ironing, organising wardrobes/cupboards/rooms, home moves, and keeping the children engaged with activities and games. I also had a live-in Au Pair job in New Zealand for 6 months with a family who had a lovely 4-year-old girl who I helped with writing, the alphabet, maths, swimming, and lots of other sports. I helped with the morning nursery routine, cooking meals, cleaning, ironing, after school activities and adventures to the beach every weekend. I also used to coach 7-11 year-olds sports for 2 years from ####-####. I now currently coach under 10s and 14s hockey at a reputable private school Erskine Stewart Melville. If do this part-time as and have done since July 2022 alongside ad hoc childminding for a previous family. I am highly organised, efficient, and great at managing and helping with family life. I use initiative, have a great sense of humour, and make family life a lot easier.
