Danielle, nanny - LU6 Edlesborough

I absolutely love working as a nanny!. I look after a little 3yr old boy and 18month girl 3 days a week term time only. A 5 and 7 year old on the school run 2 days a week and 8 month old and another 18 month old adhoc hours throughout the week! I am a great fan of arts and craft and anything that gets the children messy! I love taking them out and planning activities appropriate to their development using subjects they are interested in, currently Dinosaurs and Peppa pig!

As a qualified Occupational Therapist and level 3 qualified childcare practitioner, I have worked with a wide range of conditions and children. I have had experience with all ages from babies to adolescents. I have always enjoyed working with children, sharing my knowledge and a providing nurturing environment to encourage children to reach their full potential. My previous roles have included working as a community paediatric OT, providing advice to schools on handwriting, scissor control and sensory strategies.

Prior to this, I worked as a LSA within a nursery setting providing care and support for a child with ASD. I also participated in the day to day running of the nursery including nappy changes, activity planning and observations. I have previously work as an au pair in Paris and have an A-level in French and am always looking for an opportunity to develop this or teach the children French rhymes and general conversation if they are interested.

I am happy to any light housework including ironing, hovering, polishing, cooking nutritious meals according to parents preference etc.

Always happy to babysit, from 6pm till 11pm during the week and from 6pm until the early hours on a Friday or Saturday night.

Not currently available during term time, but during holidays, weekends and babysitting.
