Personal Statement: I have continued to babysit and carry out ad hoc Nanny positions at weekends and school holidays during my P. A. Career. I currently babysit in the evenings and Nanny during the day in the school holidays which I thoroughly enjoy. Having received extremely positive reviews from parents (and that since 1997 I was raising my own daughter and so keeping abreast of the childcare milestones both emotionally and developmentally, as well as being responsible for 314 boys well-being in a school environment) I was spurred on to return to Nannying. Through speaking to parents, I also recognise that there is a growing need (particularly in London when parents may not have extended family close by) for a more mature Nanny - almost like a Granny figure - who has had personal experienced of raising a child and survived! My colleagues describe me as loyal, reassuring, with a good sense of humour and fairly unflappable. Because of my work at Buckingham Palace and various government posts I have held, I have been security cleared at the highest level and also hold an enhanced DRB check and hold the following qualifications: First Aid Certificate, Paediatric EYFS First Aid Certificate and YMHFA Certificate, Level 3 OCR Childcare Common Core and Knowledge, Level 3 Safeguarding Certificate. Enhanced DRB Certificate can be provided. I enjoy cooking, swimming, horse riding and watching: dressage, polo and tennis.
