Friendly and energetic nanny with 32 years in child care. Supplies loving care while making sure to meet milestones and educational goals for each child. An ability to develop close relationships and good communication with both children and the families I work for. I give 100% commitment and loyalty to my positions and my experience ranges from newborn up to 12 years old. My general duties have included making nutritious delicious meals, children's laundry, keeping the children‘s rooms clean and tidy and weekly shopping. I am well versed in bottle sterilising, dummy and white noise weening and having a daytime routine in place, which then has helped them sleep through the night. I have guided the children in my care through various stages of development, such as weaning, toilet training, cot to bed and starting nursery and preparing for school and home work. I have organised daily activities which have included interactive museums, petting Zoos and farm trips. Physical and social development has included swimming, trampoline parks, music classes and baby gym. Activities at home have included cookery, arts and crafts, role play, reading and play dates.
Whilst in my governess role I organised age appropriate lessons for the 4 year old which included English, Maths, science and general knowledge. When I worked with the 11 month old brother I used flash cards to help his language skills and role play games.
I have a compassionate and caring approach to childcare that has been rewarded with seeing the children in my care grow into polite and confident young adults that I still see today.
