About Me...
I have a genuine love for working with children of all age groups, I have exprience with all ages ranging from 3 months to teenage years through working as a solecharge Nanny, After School Carer and Weekend Overnight Nanny.
I love to actively involve myself with the children by engaging with them on all levels, keeping them entertained and stimulated, orgnaising fun daily outings and age appropriate games in the family home. I am very creative and love music and dance.
I am willing to work in with the parents on their schedule and routine and can adjust to different and varying family dynamics.
There is nothing more fulfiling than caring for children and supporting a family.
