About Me – Supporting Nannies, Families, and Nursery Staff

Hi, I’m Sam! With 18 years of experience in childcare—15 as a nanny and three in a day nursery—I’ve had the privilege of caring for children in various settings. Holding an NVQ Level 2 in Childcare Education, I’ve dedicated my career to nurturing young minds and building strong relationships with families.

One of the most rewarding aspects of my journey has been finding the perfect match between nannies and families. Having personally navigated the job search process—both through agencies and self-advertising—I understand the challenges candidates face and what families truly need in a nanny. My experience allows me to support both sides by offering guidance on:

For Nannies: I can help you create a standout CV, prepare for interviews, and understand what families look for in a great nanny. I can also offer advice on contracts, setting professional boundaries, and ensuring you find a role that aligns with your values and experience.

For Families: Finding the right nanny can be overwhelming. I can guide you through the hiring process, from writing a clear job description to conducting interviews and trial periods. My experience working with families helps me understand the qualities that make a great nanny-family fit, ensuring a long-lasting and positive relationship.

For Nursery Staff: My time in a nursery setting has given me insight into team dynamics, child development, and creating engaging learning environments. I can offer support with best practices for managing a classroom, building strong relationships with children and parents, and navigating career progression in early years education.

Now, as a parent myself, I have a deeper understanding of both the nanny and family perspectives. I’m passionate about helping nannies, families, and nursery professionals build meaningful connections and create positive, lasting experiences for the children they care for.

Whether you’re a nanny looking for the right role, a family searching for the perfect childcare provider, or a nursery professional seeking career support, I’m here to help guide you through the process with confidence and ease.
