Amy Elizabeth Quinn

We decided as a family that I would take time out to focus and look after our children, now our children are all in full time school I would love to get back into work.

I am very much a 'peoples person' and enjoy learning new things, I can pretty much put my hand to anything and egar to start this next chapter of my life.

• Created and implemented a solid routine for all children.
• Weaned the babies onto solids using ‘baby led weaning'
• Maintained the cleanliness of the children's area at home.

  My days were spent at local stay and plays, parks, city farms, singing groups and other child focused activities such as messy play, painting, reading, cooking, Jungle gyms and gatherings with other local nannies so the children were given the opportunity to build on their social development.
  Working for two different families has enabled me to work to an excellent standard under significant pressure whilst maintaining a positive, fun and educational atmosphere for the children.
  

Being extremely organised and thoroughly focused on the children I enjoyed the challenge of organising and implementing structure and a daily routine that worked for all the children and their different stages of development, along with working for two different families, I have enjoyed every minute of watching them grow, learn and develop, meeting all their milestones.
I educated the 2 year old to speak English as French was her first language and I made sure the babies had the right interactions and care they needed to reach their individual needs and milestones as no baby/child is the same and all develop differently at different stages.
