Letter to the family

My name is Lucy and I'm a 21 year old student at Durham University studying a degree in Biological Sciences. I have experience with children from working in a boarding school and from various nanny jobs. I would love to au pair over the summer because I love hanging out with little people and helping them grow and learn. I have had nanny jobs in both the UK and Jersey but I'm keen to take it further and go abroad whist doing the job I know I love.

I take an easy going, fun and creative approach to nannying. I'm passionate about getting outdoors and in the world. I currently live by the beach in Jersey - last summer I loved nannying on there and taking the children to the beach. As long as there's a washing machine, I'm always keen for some messy play and lots of fun. I can also help with school work and tutoring, I scored 40/45 in my IB studies.

All in all, I'm looking for a relaxed family, where I can be an extra pair of hands and help out wherever needed. I am always sensitive that being a nanny is not the same as being a parent, I would like to be bale to integrate and feel welcome in the family whilst remaining respectful of my role.

Experience

I spent my gap year working in the boarding house at an all girls prep school in England. I was responsible for waking the girls up, helping them get ready for school, making their snack, helping them with homework and then putting them to bed - to name just a few of my jobs! My role was sometimes described as a "paid big sister".

Following this, I have nannied privately for a few families over the last few summers. I have supervised swimming, prepared children meals, taken the children out in my car for day trips and joined the families on days out.

I really enjoy nannying but I am keen to do something different this summer and so I considered going abroad, I know I love the job so why not learn to love somewhere new?
