Marine biologist turned nanny/housekeeper/cook with worldwide experience :)
| 6 years experience with children ranging from 6 months (my best little friend in the photo) to 15 years (!), including cooking, home schooling, dancing and singing and driving my little (and sometimes not-so-little) charges to their extracurricular activities. I’ve been lucky enough to care for children all over the world and have learnt as much from them as I hope they have from me. Ive worked with Asperger’s children, children with anxiety, and have experience in all types of care styles, religions, foods, etc. Whilst in Australia I obtained my working with children check and also have my police check. I’ve been both a live in and live out carer, I’ve helped make costumes and paint faces, as well as the clean up afterwards. We’ve made pizzas and dress up castles and attended conservation lectures. Children are our future and need to be cherished

Working History
| I am a mother of 2 grown up children. My daughter has just finished at Bristol University and got a first class degree in mathematics. My son is studying for his A Levels. Recently i have looked after a one month old for 5 months and a 5 month old for 9 months. My last job was looking after a premature baby for a professional couple who work at Bristol University. I looked after their daughter from the age of 4 months until she was 16 months. I took her to toddler groups/the zoo/parks/libraries and for vaccinations. I worked at a Nursery for 11 years as an SMSA. I worked there for my NVQ Level 3 in Childcare for one year too. I qualified in May 2013. I worked in a Primary School after school club for 3 years. I was a Nanny/Mother's Help for six years. The family had a 3 and 4 year old. A few years later, mum had a new baby and I had sole charge after six weeks. Since I have had my own children, I have always looked after other people's children alongside my own, in my own home and in theirs. I have also looked after children after school. I love helping/nurturing children to achieve their full potential. I am very much looking forward to my next job in childcare.

Energetic student seeking part time childcare work in Bristol - experience with special needs
| I am a Bristol-based student with a lifetimes worth of experience in caring for my brother with special needs, and an additional 3-4 years experience in professional childcare (including care for a special needs child). I absolutely loved my childcare job in Suffolk, and I remain very close with the families and continue offer casual, one-off care whenever I am home. Given how rewarding and enjoyable I found these jobs, I’m looking for a similar arrangement in Bristol. I gained extensive experience in looking after the children independently for long periods of time; preparing meals; assisting with bath times and personal hygiene; helping with homework tasks; administering medication; etc. I have a driving license and a car, and I’m happy to help with school drop-offs and pick-ups alongside taking the children for days out.

Experienced Nanny looking for Summer work
| I am an incredibly warm, bubbly, and empathetic person - traits I can guarantee you will notice instantly upon meeting me. I have 8 years childcare experience, and have three siblings myself. My hobbies include outdoor activities, art, climbing, debating, swimming, baking and drama. I love to organise day trips, such as seeing animals or museums, but also enjoy indoor activities such as puzzles. I am currently an English literature graduate and Samaritans volunteer and have worked with Suicide Prevention Bristol. I have previously worked as a teaching assistant in a range of primary schools in Bristol, teaching ages from 4 - 11 and as a one-to-one support worker for children with additional needs. I have just spent the last 8 months working as a nanny for two children - aged one and four - I only left this position because I have moved back to London. This role has given me a plethora of childcare experience and joy, therefore I would love to get another nanny job! I really hope you will consider me as your nanny :)
