Nannies in Meadows/Morningside

| Hello! My name is Jessica and I am 24 years old. I have been working with children on a regular basis for the past 5 years. I have recently graduated from the Open University and am also studying towards a HNC/ SQV in childhood practice. I have worked as a part time nanny for the last 2 years as well as a little volunteering at my church's kids club. I have done work experience with health visitors, nurseries and hospitals as well as volunteering at a youth group for children with disabilities. I have a full PVG allowing me to work with children and vulnerable adults in addition to basic first aid skills. I am very flexible regarding hours, please don't hesitate to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you!

| I am a very happy, kind and bubbly person, I love to be outdoors, so will be taking your child in lots of adventures! I am very patient, organized and reliable. I have experience with all age groups, including newborns. In Brazil I worked in a Canadian school for infant education where my age group varied from 2 to 4 years old. I also worked as an English teacher in private schools in Brazil varying from 6 years old to adults. I worked as a nanny for my aunty, where I lived with her, from day 1, first baths, first baby food, getting her baby off breast feeding to sleeping at night by herself, she was a very demanding child so gave me lots of experience on how to deal with demanding babies. In Edinburgh I have worked at a nursery in Brunstfield for a couple of years floating between rooms, babies, tweenies and toddlers so I have lots of experience with nursery rhymes, making age appropriate activities, setting routines, encouraging your child to learn and to be independent.

| I am a 23 year old postgraduate student looking for a part-time role as a nanny alongside my studies. I absolutely love kids, having two younger sisters aged 5 and 11. I am originally from Manchester, but now live permanently in Stockbridge after studying at the University of Edinburgh for the past four years. After my Mum passed away in 2016, I had to step up to the role of full-time carer for my younger sisters for 5 months, while my Stepdad returned to work. They were 1 and 7 at the time, so I have lots of experience in looking after these ages. This involved cooking, cleaning and keeping them entertained with fun activities, such as arts and crafts and baking. I have also worked with a company called Fun Scientists, which involved teaching young kids (age 5-6) about science through fun, interactive classes. I am therefore an expert in slime and other fun science-y activities. I am looking for a part-time role (10-20 hours a week) with some flexibility in the hours I do. On Mondays and Tuesdays I have uni classes, so I am not available until 4pm, while on Wednesday I look after a lovely two-year-old boy until 3pm. Other than that, I’m free whenever needed. I hope you will consider me :)

I have experience working with kids age 4-12 both in one-to-one situations and leading a large group. I’m very creative and enjoy playing sports with kids. I am very fun and engaging and enjoy coming up with activities and games. I’ve also been told I have a good story voice! :) I understand learning from home can be very difficult and I would feel very comfortable helping with school work!

In Spain I have worked in a nursery school with children of the age of 0-3 some of them with special needs, during 4 months. While I have been studying I have worked as a nanny in diferent families: ####-####: each summer taking care of a girl (now is 8 years old), preparing breakfast and lunch, playing with her, making crafts, going to the swimming pool and going to the park. - ####-####: taking care of a girl 4 years old and a boy 6 years old. I picked them up from school and went to the park and played together. - ####-####: same boy and girl. But this year I took care of them in the mornings. I woke them up, prepared breakfast, helped them to get dressed and ready for school and took them to school. - ####-####: taking care of two boys (2 and 6 years old) every Friday. I picked the older one up from school and went home to have lunch. Later, grandparents brought me the 2 year old boy from nursery.

Around 5:30 I prepared some afternoon snack and after that we got ready to go to the park. I can provide references.

Over the past 9 months I have been working as an assistant at Gymboree, workings with 0-4 year olds. I have a passion for working with children, this began at a young age and developed further when I started to babysit my 4 cousins over my summer holidays. I hope to work with children in the future by becoming a Primary School teacher.

| I am a student at Napier University currently studying International Business Management. I am a very active person and passionate, I adapt rapidly to new environments as coming to live to Edinburgh from Spain helped me develop such skill. I have taken care of children throughout the summers since I have been 17 to earn extra money.

| I have over 9 years working with children aged 2-17 in varying roles such as childminding, teaching, and have spent the last two summers working at a UK summer camp. I truly love working with children and know that I could make a positive difference to a family’s life! I’m very excited to start. I have excellent interpersonal, communication and management skills, honed in a range of work environments. I am mature, reliable and experienced with a wide range of skills to share with your children. I connect quickly with children on their level and naturally create a safe, caring and playful environment which makes them feel understood, comfortable and valued. I have spent the last 4 years studying in Edinburgh so know the city very well.

| I am a nurturing, enthusiastic and outgoing individual, with previous childcare experience, looking for a position as a nanny during after school hours. I am available 3 days a week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, with flexibility on hours. Services I provide include school pick-up, help with homework, engaging after-school activities and cooking meals. However, I would be more than happy to discuss any additional requirements or requests you may have. I have 9 months experience as a dance teacher working with children between ages of 6 to 16. I enjoyed ensuring my lessons were engaging while creating an encouraging and fun atmosphere for the children. Prior to this, I additionally had 2 years experience of being a dance teaching assistant. I am currently a student at the University of Edinburgh studying philosophy. In my spare time, I enjoy dancing, singing and creating art. These are hobbies that I believe are also highly valuable for children, as activities that are both calming and help to develop their creativity. I am looking forward to incorporating them into my childcare if your child would also enjoy it! I look forward to hearing from you. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!

| I’m a joyful and bubbly full-time nanny from Australia. When I’m not babysitting I spend my time as a musician and regularly play in two local Edinburgh bands. I love to be constantly on the go and keep us busy with playgroups, classes and exploring the city. When everyone is needing downtime we bake, do craft and play every jigsaw possible whilst there's music playing in the background. Having a trusting bond between myself and the children is the most important thing to me as a nanny. I want to work with parents to create a safe space where the children feel heard by us all. This allows us as a family unit to give the emotional tools they need to communicate and explore their world around them. I am looking to start a new job for August.
