Samantha, nanny - BN26 Polegate

Ofsted registered nanny

Hi. I am Samantha a 44 year old mum to two. I am a confident, reliable, trustworthy , caring fun loving person who is firm but fair in my work and care of children.

I've worked in childcare since I was 16. I've had 11 happy years child minding but feel the times right now my children are older to follow my heart. Nanning is where my heart lies. I have a lot of experience with all ages from birth upwards.

I enjoy encouraging and nurturing children’s development, and I use my creativity and initiative to provide fun and educational activities for children according to their age and interests. I am able to adapt to all situations and environments..! I particularly enjoy taking the children out to learn about nature, and to do art and crafts and baking or make up stories on the rainy days. I also like snuggles on the sofa and enjoy a lovely book. Your child's interests will always be paramount.

I am happiest when keeping the children in my care busy. Not only does this keep the children happy it also means a good night sleep for the parents as the children are happy and tired by bedtime.

I give the children in my care all the love and attention they require in a loving and stimulating atmosphere . I consider myself to be highly experienced adaptable and flexible . Being a mum myself I feel really helps in my line of work. It takes a mum to know just how precious our little ones are.

Throughout my childcare career I have worked with parents or worked alone.
