Caring for baby girl from four months old, allowing mother personal time.

• Attend playgroups and organise walks to the park for social engagement.
• Prepare nutritious dinners to ensure healthy eating habits.

I began with this family when the two girls were 10months old and 4years old, supporting both with key milestones and guiding development.
• Organising daily/ weekly routines such as playdates, numerous clubs, teaching the youngest how to swim and many day trips.
• Home schooling the eldest during covid.
• Assist with children’s laundry, changing beds and tidying to reduce parents' workload as well as cooking healthy and nutritious family meals.

• Caring for a 6year old girl, mainly before and after school but helping parents out during school hours with daily housework and meal prep.
• During school holidays care was full time where favourite activities included baking, arts and crafts and socialising.

Caring for two boys once a week from newborn and 1year old until they were 1year and 2years.

• Giving newborn feeds and promoting key skills for mile stone development.

• Taking both children out for outdoor enrichment activities including regular zoo visits and nature walks.

During this six year period, I nannied for two girls who were aged 1years and 3years when I started.

• The girls enjoyed outings to parks, play dates, cinema and after school clubs such as street dance lessons and cheerleading.
• I cooked for the girls and the family as a whole.
• From December 2015, my 11month old niece also came to work with me twice a week so I managed activities for three children as a nanny share

Assisting a single parent caring for two siblings, 5year old girl and 2year old boy.
• Both children loved spending time at Ashridge National Trust, socialising at play dates, art and crafts and music classes.

Caring for two children; one girl and her younger brother, who at the start were 3years old and 2years old.

• Both loved to be in the outdoors come rain or shine.
• When not outside it was a love of drawing, stickers and colouring at every opportunity.
• The family are bilingual (mother is Swedish) so I supported the children in learning Swedish, with the help of books, games and a little help from their mum.

I mainly worked in the baby room which was for children aged from 3months to 18 months. My role included duties such as planning and carrying out age appropriate activities, preparing snacks and supervising nap routines.
