Reliable, fun, caring nanny experienced with all ages of children.
| My name is Charlotte, aged 24. I am an outgoing, caring, honest and energetic person who grew up with many siblings so completely comfortable with all kinds of activities. **I have secured a nanny position 2-7pm Mon-Thu with a family in Winchester. I would very much like to find a family who are looking for a MORNING nanny. I have the whole of Fridays available.** Once obtaining a nanny position, I will want to start the 'NCFE CACHE Level 3 Award in Home Based Childcare' course whilst working and plan to complete this in my free time. I have 9 years experience with children of all ages through all sorts of volunteering (see experience), and with a DBS. I absolutely love working with children and I am very confident with all ages and personalities. I hope to be able to help some parents out and provide a very fun, loving environment for the children. I have 2 references.
