My wonderful English nanny is looking for a new role

[notmyduck]

My two year old son will be starting at the Villa in a month or so and his wonderful nanny, Harriet, will need a new role.

Harriet has been with us for over a year. She has become a part of the family and we will be so sorry not to see her every day. She is looking for a role to start in October/November 4-5 full days a week.

Harrie is a mature and confident nanny with a loving nature and a good sense of humour. She grew up in South London and knows the area - and she is a career nanny. She has invested time to acquire qualifications that demonstrate this, something that impressed me from the start.

Harrie always set clear boundaries for my son, which has been reassuring for him and for me. I have particularly valued variety of activities she arranges. We have had one 'organised' class each term and otherwise, Harrie always comes up with a variety of things to do, in and out of the house:

- Various local parks, playgroups, museums, and libraries

- Cooking or reading at home

- Visiting other children for play dates and meals

- Drawing, painting, stickers, songs ...

They also occasionally go in to the museums in South Kensington or the aquarium. In addition, Harrie has a network of other nannies so there are lots of other children with whom to play and socialise if that works for your family.

In addition to all these wonderful personal attributes qualities, Harrie also has the essential qualities of a good nanny:

- She can and does cook a variety of food, combining fresh fruit and vegetables with things like pasta sauces that she freezes in advance. Harrie encourages my son to always try everything and he eats very well

- She has a good vocabulary and grammar, and has encouraged my son to develop his speech. Harrie is always well presented but this doesn't stop her being happy to crawl around the floor with babies and toddlers

- She knows the local area well, and the surrounding ones.

- She is happy to help out with household tasks when she has a spare moment - without being asked - and she keeps the playroom, kitchen etc clean and tidy

Most importantly, Harrie is a kind, caring and responsible person who genuinely enjoys spending time with children and helping them develop. She has been a wonderful part of our family and we hope to continue to see her often.

Please PM me if you'd like Harrie's contact details

Hi, I'm Cristina, I'm from Spain and I'm 23 years old. I'm actually looking for a job as nanny.

I'm already living in London since one week.

A year ago I finished the Degree of Pre-school Teaching and I?m currently studying for the public examinations in Spain, to work as a pre-school teacher or and English teacher. Also I have a certificate in English (First Certificate of Cambridge) and I?m actually studying to get the Advanced Certificate in English.

I was a year between Bradford (England) and Edinburgh (Scotland), studying and performing my placement with young children in different nursery schools.

I have also studied music; I studied piano for five years.

As for my personality, I consider myself a very responsible, orderly, active, outgoing, caring and dynamic person. I like quiet environments, interact with people, enjoy cooking, healthy food, sports, cinema, nature and music. I am not a smoker.

Looking forward to hear from you!
