I'm Hope, a loving and reliable nanny residing in Portsmouth. Despite my lack of experience, I possess a natural affinity towards children, particularly those aged between 3-5 years. Always ensuring that the children under my care are safe, happy, and developing well. I am seeking to work part-time, preferably in a live-out arrangement, and I can start immediately. My availability is very flexible as I can work mornings, evenings, nights, and now and then during the middle of the day for most days of the week. Particularly, I’m available every day from Monday to Wednesday and extensively during Friday. As part of my duties, I am more than ready to help with homework, adhere to any special dietary rules, maintain the kitchen's cleanliness, and perform light housekeeping tasks. Additionally, I can also take care of family pets, do the family and children's laundry, iron children's clothes, and run errands including grocery shopping. When it comes to meals, I can prepare both for your kids and the general family. I have a college education and am seeking work as a Babysitter, Childminder, Nanny, Nanny/Housekeeper, or even a Virtual Babysitter. Ideally, I would love to work with a family with up to two children. I look forward to creating a warm and nurturing environment for your children, and becoming a trusted part of your family. I did some work experience at the nursery.

I am a 19yr old University student. I am going into my 2nd year studying Sport Psychology. I am studying at Winchester however am originally from Portchester and return there for the holidays. I absolutely love sports and being outside whenever I can exploring new places with my dog. When I finish my degree I will hopefully go into working with children either at a primary or secondary level and encouraging sport engagement whilst aiming to engage with them on a personal level and help with their psychological wellbeing and attitudes towards sport as it is more important to me how they feel about/when participating rather than whether they do or not. I have always volunteered to work within primary schools when it has been an option for me and I have worked with a range of ages and a range of behavioural challenges. I also have a cousin with autism and I absolutely love to spend time with him and taking him out and seeing him enjoy himself and being able to see how much of a positive affect I can have on him is just the most rewarding feeling! I feel I am very committed and I will devote my full attention to your child/children. To do this to my best ability I have put 2children max as I have never had to look after more than 2 children on my own and, whilst I feel I probably could, I wouldn’t want to take that next step without being 100% confident. I know that 19 is young and I understand if there is any apprehension however I wouldn’t be willing to answer any questions, call or I can even come for an initial visit so you can see if I would be a good fit for your child and within your home. Although I am 19years old, I have been a trusted baby sitter for family and friends since I was 16. This has included staying overnight with the children and also taking them out for the day. Whilst I will be working with the children I will be working for you so whatever arrangement is most suitable for your work, I can happily work around. I also have experience in sport coaching with children from the ages of 4-14 and I absolutely love sports and being outside so (weather permitting) would try to engage the children in physical activity as I believe it to be such an important thing for kids. I admittedly haven’t got as much experience with academic engagement however I have spent time in primary schools helping with simple maths, reading and science work and feel confident that I could be helpful with children up to 13/14yrs academically, I received exceptional grades myself so believe that I could provide adequate teaching. Should there be anything specific that you would like for them to learn I would also be more than happy to educate myself beforehand to ensure I can confidently pass this on and help them to understand. I have such a passion for working with children and it is an area that I would love to go into after I finish my university studies. I am available immediately until the start of September. I unfortunately can’t drive however I am confident in public transport so, should there be a route to get to you, it shouldn’t cause too many issues. I am located in Portchester so am local to Portsmouth and Fareham however can also travel to surrounding areas (again provided there is public transport) I would also be willing to do overnights should that be necessary however I would prefer to spend time with both you and the children first (no overnights straight away)

I am a 16-year-old girl named Maggie. I am very good with children, and because I am young, I believe I can better understand children and have a stronger relationship with them. I will be leaving school next month, but I am very reliable. Just because of my age does not define how well I can care for your children. I worked in a nursery for a couple of days, and I have had younger siblings and cousins whom I have helped bring up.
