Nanny Nurture

So after 14 years in my role as a Nanny and a period of not working with children at all, I have landed a new role at a beautiful little Preschool. This Preschool has big plans that truly excite me to my core and I am so happy I will be part of their team and their move towards their dream!
I can't wait to share my journey into this next chapter with you 💖

We have reached a monumental moment in our home ed journey. Jacob has found a love of comic books. He is able to sit and read it all by himself 🥺 he sat like this for ages and then asked if we can take it home. This is a first! and the result of letting him go at his own pace with zero pressure. Ignoring the naysayers and the comments from people who think he needs to be doing what everyone else is doing at the same time as everyone else is doing it.
Keep going at your own pace my boy. I support you all the way ❤️

When im not taking care of children, im usually sitting quietly in the corner knitting and crocheting ✌🏼 😎

Hello everyone.

I just wanted to do a quick "getting to know me" post, as i have realised that many people find me on facebook, but they initially have zero knowledge of my professional background or who i am as a person. So here it goes. 🫶🏻

I have been a childcarer for 16 years. Working in a nursery setting and also as a Nanny.
I hold an NVQ3 in Childcare,learning and development, but realistically my years of hands on experience working with children and their families and also having my own children (aged 6&8) is what makes me who I am professionally.
I am very comfortable in my role, working with children of all ages, from Newborn to Teens.
In addition to my NVQ 3, I undertook kids yoga training and a diploma in Child Psychology.
I am about to embark on my studies to become a Psychotherapist. I have a vision to work with children in this capacity, but I am also quite passionate about working with parents as well.

I believe in gentle parenting, naming feelings to tame them and allowing the automomy for self expression. I am not a believer in naughty steps and time outs. Connection and trust is important and is how I navigate relationships with the children and families I take care of, whist maintaining respect (both ways) and necessary boundaries.
I am fully present in my role. You will not find me scrolling facebook or mindlessly chatting on the phone while im on duty. Again, this goes back to respect and connection.

I am very much a nature lover- I absolutely adore being outdoors in the woods/parks/ beaches taking in the fresh air and energy. I am a very peaceful and gentle soul. I love to read, do yoga and knit/crochet.

I have lots of glowing checkable references and an enhanced DBS.

I hope this helps you get to know me a little better 💗 if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Love, Tori x

Reading practice in the cafe- that's how we roll 😎

Our little Cody is back to stay for the weekend ❤️

This is one of the beautiful things about hiring a nanny who brings her own children ❤️ and how home education fits in with my career right now.
Both children benefiting from the same activity in different ways. Jacob is practicing reading and growing his confidence. G-3 listens to the story and gets the connection she needs ❤️

Guess who’s back, back again. Cody’s back, tell a friend 🐶
Nice to see you again Cody ❤️
