Hello I am a friendly creative nanny offering nannying services in the West Yorkshire area.
| I have 3 years combined experience working in childcare from my role as a play assistant and also as a member of a foster family specialising in caring for children ages 0-3. I am an creative and outdoor loving nanny who enjoys introducing children to diversity that nature has to offer in the hopes of creating inquisitive young thinkers . I enjoy using my qualifications in fine art and photography to create crafty and stimulating learning activities catered to your child’s individual progress. From working with 0-3 year olds I have experience in providing daily care routines such as : bottle feeding, developing and supporting sleep routines, baby Led weaning and providing healthy meals and snacks, supporting cognitive development using age appropriate playful activities, promoting language development through reading , sing and storytelling. I think in my role it is important that I record and monitor milestone achievements and behaviours as well as communicating back daily cares.
