Creative Nanny (31) with previous teaching experience!
| I can care for children in different age groups. I love to teach new things, do crafts, explore outside and most of all create amazing bonds. I want to be able to provide parents with the comfort and security of having someone trustworthy watching their little ones. I worked as an English Teacher in Yangon, Myanmar for just over three years. So as well as general childcare, I can also help with homework tutoring and teaching younger children how to read. I've worked with ages 4-14 and I love to learn all of their different personalities and interests. Managing multiple classes takes organization, adaptability and proactivity; whilst always allowing time for fun! These assets and experience, I can bring to a family in the best way you require. I have further experience in looking after younger children with my energetic nephew (4yo) and inquisitive niece (13mo), whom I care for regularly. Just like the many kids I've taught, I love to be a part of them discovering and developing. I am also in the process of becoming an OFSTED registered nanny. It's very important to me that I can offer this level of care and assurance to parents. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you feel I could be the right fit for your family!

providing compassionate and personalized support to elderly individuals.
| Childcare experiences involve a range of tasks, from ensuring basic needs like feeding and diaper changes to stimulating activities that encourage learning and exploration. Building trust and rapport with both the children and their parents is crucial for effective childcare. Communication skills are essential for understanding the needs of each child and addressing any concerns or challenges that arise. Flexibility, patience, and creativity are key attributes for successful childcare experiences. Every child is unique, so adapting my approach to meet their individual personalities and preferences is essential. Creating a supportive and loving environment where children feel secure and valued is at the heart of my childcare philosophy.

My name is Laura, I am a happy, easygoing reliable 25 year old. Since leaving school after my A Levels I have worked in a variety of different settings with children, starting from nursery age children, to primary school settings both public and special educational needs. Alongside completing my degree in Sociology and Social Policy. After completion of my degree I worked for 2 years in a school for moderate special educational needs, where I worked on a one to one basis with two boys aged 7 with high functioning autism. I have just recently returned from working as an au pair in Washington DC. I lived in DC for close to 2 years, with a family who had three children aged 14, 10 and 7, the youngest with special educational needs. This was the best two years of my life and I have found this one of the most rewarding experiences, broadening my horizons and building on my skills. Exploring a range of different age groups and experience with special educational needs, has allowed me to forsee a obvious career path. I feel that working with children is where my qualities lie best. My patient, calm, honest and outgoing nature allows me to provide childcare to the very best of my ability.
