Nannies in Blackwood

| I enjoy the outdoors, for example walking, jogging, exploring new places. I enjoy family day trips and i have a keen interest in children developing their hands-on skills. As much as i love the outdoors, i also enjoy a watching a good movie, reading books, cooking/baking and playing games at home - whether its board games, or hide and seek. I have a natural empathetic nature, and i care deeply about children's mental well-being, as much as their physical well-being. 'The greatest gift you can give someone is your time' (unknown). I have experience in looking after twin baby girls on a fortnightly basis. (I am a nanny to my sister's children.) Furthermore, i have experience in supporting families and children through my work with Homestart, of whom i worked for voluntarily for 18 months. Collectively, this gives me a vast amount of experience with children.

| I have been working with children for 10 years, beginning as a baby sitter, which fuelled my passion for childcare. I have a Cache level 3 diploma in Childcare and Development and a BA Hons Early Years Education degree with second class honours. I've spent the last 7 years working as a Nanny helping to run a busy households and taking on sole care of the children of varying ages. I plan activities both fun and educational as well as ensuring all reading and homework is completed every day alongside extra curricularactivities, such as Spanish, swimming and rugby training. The house is always kept clean and tidy and all washing and food preparation completed before the end of the day. Throughout my childcare training and career, I have worked in a multitude of different nurseries and schools, from babies to pre- school upto more mature children. I am confident in working with any child and believe I have a firm but calm approach to behaviour and discipline preferring to use praise and recognition to support a happy, healthy environment.

| I am currently providing full home support, looking after 2 children (6 and 10), including morning and bedtime routines, after school clubs/ activities, laundry, housekeeping and providing care support for elderly mother. Looking for a new nanny role due to reduction in hours.

| Hi there I am a cssiw registered nanny with over 20 years in childcare. I am experienced in looking after newborns, twins, special needs. I am very hands on and happy to run errands to making any parent/carers working life easier!! I love my job and enjoy creating a safe fun environment! I am qualified with all relevant training including paediatric first aid and an enhanced DBS on the update service. I am currently working in a curiosity approach nursery but am looking to return to nannying. My husband was made redundant in the pandemic so I'm the breadwinner so to speak and would be looking for a long term position with a minimum of 30 hours. Thank you for reading Fiona
