ABOUT ME

Hello, I am Emily. I am a responsible, mature health and social care graduate who is experienced in both private childcare and working with children, adults and families within the charity sector. I have undertaken sole charge and shared care of children from newborn to 16 yrs with experience of holiday nannying, multiples, and varying learning and physical abilities. I am a calm, flexible and caring person who loves being with children and helping them to navigate life and become the best that they can be.

My Experience

I have been involved with caring for children for over 15 years. Originally helping out local families after school and in school holidays. Then when leaving school I went into retail management but continued to babysit, help out part time and do voluntary work with children and families around my job. After 8 years of retail I decided that it wasn't what I wanted to be doing for the rest of my career and moved into childcare instead. I spent 3 years working as a part time nanny/mothers help with 3 amazing children whilst completing my degree in Health and Social Care and Counselling. 

On completion of this I got involved in being a holiday nanny in a ski resort which I loved. I have now done three years in Samoëns part of the Grand Massif ski area, caring for children whilst on holiday from 13 weeks to 13 years old. It was here that I realised that looking after children, helping parents and seeing new places could all work together and the idea of Sun and Snow Childcare became reality.

In 2015 I decided to expand my knowledge of working with newborns and undertook my postnatal maternity nurse training. Giving me the opportunity to gain more experience and knowledge in helping mums and babies get acquainted and into a good routine. I have been lucky enough to have worked with lots of twins both breastfed and formula fed babies. I have also worked with babies who suffer with reflux and colic.

I now have the opportunity to spend the winters in my favourite ski resort and then spend the rest of the year alternating between maternity nursing, holiday nannying and getting away and travelling when I can.

​

I always like to be learning something new and regularly sign myself up to new training courses. I love to develop and update my skills and plan to study for sleep training qualifications in the future and intend to specialise in this area of maternity nursing and nannying.
