Hannah, baby-sitting à Glasgow G12

I am an actor and have been nannying since January 2018 to support my other artistic projects & endeavours.

I have just moved to Glasgow from London where I have lived for the last 8 years.

I work hard to build a trusting & open relationship with both kids and parents. I like to bring a lot of my creativity to the role and I believe that the arts play an integral part in encouraging children to understand who they are and gain in self-confidence and expression.

I have a good rapport with children of all ages, and I am a big supporter of nurturing their creativity and being fully present with all people - young and old! I strongly believe that this approach helps with the emotional stability of children and helps to build their confidence and self-belief.

I relish being outdoors and in the fresh air, going for walks and runs. On the flip side I enjoy taking time out and reading a good book or watching a film. I am passionate about theatre and the arts and believe they are integral to broadening the horizons of young people, now more than ever.

I was working with two families in London, an 8yr old boy & 6 yr old girl for three days a week and then a 6 yr old girl and 18 month old boy two days a week.

My various roles included school pick-ups and/or taking to & from clubs, making dinner, helping them with homework/reading, organising playdates, occasional babysitting outside of set hours. During the holidays I normally do full days. I have also been with both families throughout the pandemic so took on the task of homeschooling as well. Which was daunting for everybody but we made it through!

I have loved working for both of the families and will miss them greatly. It wasn't an easy choice to leave them but I was in need of a change and a new adventure!

I can provide good references from both families, personal and professional and I can provide full details of my experience on my CV.
