Rebecca, nanny in Scunthorpe

My name is Rebecca Dix, I am 24 years of age and have a wealth of experience caring for children. I hold a CACHE Level 3 qualification in Child Care and Education and I am shortly to become a BA (Honours) graduate in Early Childhood Studies and Psychology, (I graduate on 20th July 2016). I am now seeking work as a nanny (within the parental home).

My personal achievements and experiences make me an ideal candidate for the role as a nanny. During my time as a nominated foster carer, I had the responsibility of caring for two teenage children in their foster home. I have taken on this role with enthusiasm and I believe I have provided a happy environment, in which the children feel comfortable and safe. During the occasions I have taken care of these children, I have felt confident in my abilities and have handled difficult and challenging situations with care and consideration. I have also written a progress and care report for the children and the families social worker has expressed gratitude for the work I have done.

I have also worked as an Early Years Practitioner within a nursery and a Teaching Assistant within a Primary School. Due to this, (along with my college and university training), I have an excellent knowledge of children's development, the EYFS, the National Curriculum and of safeguarding procedures.

In terms of my knowledge and skills, I am well-mannered, personable, and keen to see situations from others' perspectives. These are essential qualities to possess when working with children. I possess a vivid imagination and a passion for literature; an excellent quality to have in order to relate to the excitement and innocence of a child's mind. I have very good communication skills (with both adults and children). My written skills are very high, as is evident from my excellent progress at university; therefore I an capable of providing detailed care and development reports for the children in my care.

I have a caring, compassionate nature and I have an ideal temperament in order to care for and inspire and motivate children in their learning.
