I came to Australia from the UK in 2011 with my husband and 2 girls.
I am a dedicated and experienced nanny with a strong passion for childcare and child development. With extensive experience working with babies, toddlers, and young children, I provide a nurturing, safe, and stimulating environment where they can thrive. My role goes beyond supervisionโI actively engage children in age-appropriate activities that encourage their cognitive, social, and emotional growth.
I take initiative in planning educational and creative play, establishing routines, and ensuring a structured yet fun atmosphere. Working well under pressure, I adapt to the changing needs of children while maintaining a calm and caring approach. I also excel in liaising with parents, providing regular updates, and working collaboratively to support their child's development. Additionally, I mentored and guided trainees, sharing my knowledge and
experience to help build their skills. My goal is to create a positive, enriching experience for both children and families, ensuring every child in my care feels safe, valued, and supported.
I'm energetic and keep fit with a person trainer x 3 a week, I'm looking forward to discussing your needs.
