I am an energetic, bubbly, reliable, organised and kind person. I have always been around children as I have a big family and truly enjoy looking after them. I am a creative person and I have a great understanding of the early years development so I am able to create activities that are fun but also have a developmental value. I enjoy being outside and believe this important for children’s development. I know simple makaton and enjoy doing this with children, I believe this is a great support for young children’s communication. I have a gentle but firm approach when working with children, I also believe it’s very important to work with the parents so the children are receiving the same approach and support at all times. I worked in a childcare setting in Chertsey and became the manager for the last year of being there. I then moved on to nannying for wonderful families. I have experience with children aged from newborn to ten years old. I am first aid trained and I was the SENCO and safeguarding lead in the setting I worked in. I am currently nannying for a wonderful family fully time, so I am only available in the evenings and weekends for adhoc care.
