Trusted, caring nanny available. Excellent recommendations!

Postby lilymcconnell » Tue Mar 01, 2016 1:38 pm

Hello everyone,

Like many I'm posting to find a loving new family to join. I'm currently working off Northcote Road caring for 3 children aged 7, 5 and 3. Unfortunately due to circumstances out of our control the family have sadly had to let me go so I'm now on the hunt and available to start in two weeks. I'm ideally looking for a full time role or nanny share.

My name's Lily McConnell, I'm 25 years old and have worked with children since I was 19. I started in a nursery then I went on to be a part-time nanny while also studying Social Policy and Criminology and working in Whistles on Northcote Road. I loved being a nanny and getting close to the children so much I wanted to do it full time so when I finished my studying I left Whistles and became a full time nanny.

I have a genuine love for what children. I've always known I would have a career with children, even since primary school. I couldn't be more grateful for how well children take to me and me to them. I am a very caring and loving nanny while still able to be firm and set and maintain boundaries, I'm often complimented on my patience. Children trust me which helps me maintain rules set by both parents and myself. I can be very silly, rolling around on the floor with children or playing superheros or hairdressers as well as board games and puzzles when we need some chill time. I love imaginative play and love to encourage it as much as I can. I also love to be creative, doing arts and crafts and bring in learning wherever I can. Children are sponges and it's great fun watching them learn, grow and develop. It's the best part of my job. I'm a really hard worker as I love what I do, I love building bonds with children and having fun with them.

I have previously been part of a nanny share, caring for 4 children two days a week. The youngest being 10 months when we started, the eldest two were 5 and the middle one was 3 so I have experience with having my hands full and having a busy demanding day. I've cared for children from 8 months up until 9 years old, encouraging children's development as well as helping with reading and homework.

I lived in Tooting Bec my whole life, I know South London really well and like to think I know most of the playgroups and events on. I'm very confident with my ability to care for children, meet people and try new playgroups or anything new.

I'm first aid trained, CRB checked and have an NVQ in Childcare, Learning and Development.

If you would like to see my CV and my references please get in touch and i'll send them right over.

Lily

Lily is my current nanny and she is absolutely fantastic. She adores the children and is extremely proactive in finding fun activities that they enjoy. She helps with all their homework and sets up extra learning programmes at different levels for all the children. The children all adore her and she has been great at setting up play dates and taking the children to activities. She is 100% trustworthy, very sensible and and has a great deal of common sense. She has taken on full responsibility for ensuring the children keeps them rooms tidy and knows when to be firm with them. Please PM me if you have any further questions.

Hi, To support the current recommendation, Lily previously worked with my family looking after 2 girls (2 and 6) for over a year. Although only working for us on a part time basis, Lily rapidly became part of our family as a result of her genuine affection for my daughters and enthusiasm to throw herself into all activities with them, particularly when encouraging my youngest daughter to walk. Lily is highly flexible in her work hours, always happy to stay on a bit longer when needed. I can safely say that Lily was the best nanny we have had and if you are looking for a nanny I would 100% recommend her. Any questions feel free to PM me

Hi Lilly

Great to read your post just now and I was wondering if you fancied meeting up for a chat? I'm looking for a nanny to start end of March. Details of what I'm looking for are on Nappy Valley Net - I'm Twigley, with my three kids, looking for 30-35 hours a week for three days a week, going up to five days a week from September. Do let me know if you're interested. I could meet up for chat tomorrow or Saturday, if you're free?

Hope to hear from you: I'm on 07985 482 650,

All best,

Tara

Hi everyone,

I'm back on the hunt for another new family to join. Since my last post I have been in a nanny share between Colliers Wood and Wimbledon for two 2-3 year old girls. One of the girls is going to nursery and the other family has a baby due in February so I'm not needed anymore.

I'm back to looking for the same thing, full time role or a nannyshare. If you're a family looking for a nanny but would consider a nannyshare I'll be happy to help hunt for a second family to join if needed to. I'm also happy to split my week with two families.

Looking forward to hearing from you,
Lily :)

Lily is our current nanny and is absolutely brilliant. I'm expecting a second baby in February and unfortunately cannot afford to have childcare over my maternity leave otherwise I wouldn't hesitate to hold onto Lily.
Lily is a very diligent, reliable nanny with all the requisite qualifications. What makes Lily stand out is her fantastic creativity, boundless energy and very very kind heart. She is constantly looking for things to do with the girls that stretch them and that they enjoy. She is always mindful of what we want as parents yet suggests things we wouldn't have thought of for our consideration before doing them. Whether it's visits to museums, outdoor activities, bike riding, arts and crafts, learning at home or playing at home, Lily approaches everything with absolute professionalism and in the caring way you would want for your children. If anyone would like a reference I am more than happy to provide a written/verbal reference. We shall be extremely sad to lose Lily.

Hi lily,

I am looking for a nanny 2 days per week starting from Feb. We have a boy and girl (2 3/4 and almost 1 respectively), they are very sociable and fun loving! we are just near Wandsworth common. I would be open to a nanny share with another local family (or equally I have a friend looking for a part time nanny also) if that was something you'd consider?

Best wishes
Jess

Hi mums and dads,

Thank you so much for your interest. I think I'm having trouble sending private messages so not sure if everyone is getting my replies. If you've not heard back from me, because I have replied to all of you, please email me on mcconnell.lily@outlook.com with your information and I can send over my cv and more references to add to these above.

Thank you,
Lily

I’m back looking for a new position as my current position is coming to an end as the youngest is all settled in reception and not as many hours are needed. Since last looking I have been caring for three girls aged 3, 4 and 5 when I started and now 5, 6 and 7. It’s been amazing and I’ve loved hanging out with them.

I am now 28 and even more confident in my ability as a nanny. I’m often complimented on my patience and nature with children. I am truly passionate about children and that shows in my relationships with them. I adore watching them grow and develop into little humans. I love being apart of it and contributing to it and watching them achieve things and see how proud of themselves they are. Im really bubbly, with lots of energy and love getting creative and enjoying all kinds of trips and adventures. At the same time I’m confident in my ability to set boundaries and maintain them while still keeping a strong bond which benefits us all.

I’m looking for full time hours, a nanny share would be great. I’m happy to help find another family if you’re interested in that too.

If you would like to see my CV and chat more, please get in touch.

Lily
