Compassionate and reliable nanny with over 9 years of experience, complemented by a background in Primary Education. Skilled in creating engaging, developmentally appropriate activities for children from infancy to teenage years.
Experience with tasks such as bottle feeding, sterilizing bottles, winding babies, changing nappies, getting babies and children ready for their night-time routine, pureeing foods to spoon feed, and providing a nurturing, enriching environment for children in my care.
