Childcare Expert / Professional Nanny with 22 years experience - BA Hons Degree in Early Years.
| Hello, I’m Susannah, an early years expert with 22 years hands on experience of caring for children aged 0-7. I have studied childcare to a degree level, and have gained a plethora of other relevant qualifications over the years. I have up-to-date paediatric first aid training, a clear enhanced DBS, and a full, clean driving license, in addition to a safe and roadworthy vehicle. I implement a gentle, encouraging and positive childcare style with age appropriate boundaries as necessary to keep children safe. I like to keep busy and help with household tasks such as laundry and batch cooking when time allows during the working day. Excellent references are available upon request from some of the many families I have worked with over the years. Ideally seeking a temporary / fixed term part-time role in the Newmarket/Cambridge/Ely area. I work on a self-employed basis meaning there are no hidden fees and am an ultra reliable, organised individual. Please reach out if you would like to discuss your childcare requirements further :-)

As much love and care as physically possible
| I have substantial experience of working with children in various childcare settings, in both educational and social care settings, and am still enthralled and challenged by how children develop, learn and interact. I have worked with children of varying ages and abilities in one-to-one and small group situations, and can offer a caring attitude, patience, an interest in creative activities. One of my recent personal achievements was offering respite care to a child with severe behavioural difficulties, who needed 24-hour care, for a week, to enable her parents to have a break. Through empathy, hard work and developing an understanding of personal needs I built an excellent relationship with the child.

Temi worked at my home as a babysitter for almost 2 years. I believe that she is competent and experienced enough to fit in any child care capacity. Temi took care of my son during my absence. She competently prepared formulas, took Joshua on outings. I have had the highest confidence in her trustworthiness, judgement and always felt relaxed after leaving Joshua in her supervision. In fact, she was more than a babysitter as she proved herself a wonderful babysitter who I would have back any day."

Experienced childminder who can cook and clean and I'm comfortable with any type of pet!!!
| My name is Gabrielle. I have a lot of experience in childcare personally and professionally. I grew up with 7 siblings, they range from age 6-23 and all of them are younger except 1, so I really had to step up and take care of them while my parents were working. I've taken care of a newborn, a 6 year old and a 12 year old all at once so I'm very well versed when it comes to taking care of kids of all ages. All throughout high school I babysat my siblings and other peoples kids as a way to earn money. I know how to cook and I will clean if that's what you need, I also have my own car and have been driving for 4 years. I love animals as well so I would feel comfortable if there was any in your household and I would take care of them too if that's what you needed. I hope you consider me and I look forward to meeting you!!
