Presentation

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.

Samantha worked for me in my pre-school. She was excellent with the children, and they adored her! She knew exactly how to care for them and would happily role her sleeves up and get on with the mucky parts of the job. Samantha was also well liked by the parents/carers and staff and was very approachable. She is a happy, bubbly out going person. I would employ her again without doubt!

Samantha looked after my two children before and after school. They were well looked after and happy to go to Samantha. They played and learnt from other children in Samantha's care. Such a lovely caring person.

Johanne A.

Sam looked after my son in a childminding capacity when i went back to work. She was fantastic with my son and used her experience to bring him out of his shell into a confident little boy. Sam supported me as a first time mum and was always available to give non judgemental advice when i needed it and also gave me assurances when i felt i wasnt coping well. My son had hearing difficulty and it was Sam who highlighted this to me. Whilst he was being reviewed by medical experts, Sam adapted her communication with him and ways of learning. She taught us both the basics of sign language which allowed consistency in what he was used to at home and in her care. Nothing was ever too much for Sam. She was wonderful. We only stopped using Sam when i moved out of the area.
