Nannies in East Centre

| Hello! I have worked with young children for 17 years in a variety of setting including schools, nurseries, out of school care, home settings, Montessori and Waldorf environments. I have a MEd in Early Years Pedagogy and a BA in childhood practice. I am passionate about play, outdoors, nurture and creativity in children. I am looking for a change of pace after working in education for many years. I feel that I would make a supportive, nurturing and fun nanny who is energetic, loves outdoors and learning through play. Looking for full time work only - between 30-40 hours.

| I am a nanny based in Glasgow, with 9 years of experience in childcare, and arts education. I have nannied for children ages 1-16, and hosted workshops with children of all ages with local art organisations and community groups. I worked for the last family I nannied for for over 5 years as a part-time nanny for a boy and a girl aged 3-8. I am friendly and approachable, with a very kind and compassionate nature. I always treat children with kindness and respect, and encourage them to do the same with others. In my previous roles I took the children to nursery and any activities they had on throughout the day, collected them from school, played with them and engaged them in educational activities, helped and encouraged them to complete their homework, prepared healthy balanced meals, got them ready for after-school activities, helped them to tidy, and ensured that their emotional and physical well-being was always taken care of. I am able to work flexible hours including weekends and evenings.

I have 12 years of childcare experience including working in nurseries and family centres. I have been working as a nanny to a set of twins for the past two years. They are due to start nursery, hence the reason I am looking for a new family to work for.

| I am a qualified nursery practitioner with an A in Childhood Practice (HNC). I am currently in the second year of my Primary Education master’s degree. I have volunteered and successfully taken part in multiple placements ranging from two-year-old's to twelve-year-old's around different areas in Glasgow over the past three years of living in the city. Originally, I come from the Isle of South Uist in the Western Isles of Scotland and I am fluent in Gaidhlig language. I have worked from the age of fourteen in multiple different areas including catering, retail, and housekeeping. I was also a tutor during summer in a week-long Gaidhlig Summer School called Feis Tir a'Mhurain. I have an intense love for all animals and back home have a dog, cat, two ducks and four horses of my own which has encouraged me and allowed me to be caring throughout my whole life. At the age of sixteen, I sadly lost my mother due to illness. As a result, I was left caring for my father who has a disability after sustaining an industrial injury. This shaped me into the person that I am today and made me extremely empathetic. This experience always gave me an optimistic outlook on life and made me appreciate everything that I have now. Babysitter/Nanny

| I started caring for children 15 years ago while I was living in South Carolina, U.S.A. I have been travelling as a nanny for the last five years and have taken care of children in Australia, Bali, Spain, Italy and France. I've just moved back to Scotland to finish my studies and I'm looking for a family whose needs align with the hours I have available outside of classes. I've cared for new-borns, toddlers and older children to the age of 19. My main experience is with children from 0 -5 years old. My availability is from late afternoon - night (Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri) or full day (Wed, Sat)
