I decided to go down the childcare route at a young age, I left school after my GCSE's and went straight in to do my BTEC in Children's Care, Learning and Development. I enjoyed this so much I went on to further my knowledge at University doing my Early Years Degree. I have worked in nurseries and been a nanny for a lovely family in between studying and have gained a lot of experience working with children! I love my career choice and enjoy building relationships with both the child and parent, and enjoy watching them learn and develop through their milestones. I feel that it is essential for the child to build a strong bond with their key person/nanny in order for them to feel safe in their company and allow them to get the best out of the learning opportunities provided to them. I am coming to the end of my second nanny job now where I have been for the past 3 years. I have loved building a special bondand watching him grow into a confident, happy little man ready for his next big step to school.
