Olivia Hudson

I am a young, energetic 21 year old female Nanny, who is dedicated to offering my highest level of care possible. I am patient, loving and only have your child’s best interests at heart. I do own a car and I am extremely safe and a responsible driver, this means pick up and drop offs are available. I have worked in 2 nurseries in Stamford since I was 15 and have gained lots of experience working with children from birth to 8 years old. I have also gained a level 2 SEND qualification during my time at my most previous nursery, which had enabled me to further my knowledge for SEND children and how best to support them as well as the families.

I love messy play activities, arts and crafts and being outside as I feel these are some of the best ways children learn most. I completed cooking through secondary school and passed with a grade A* and continue to enjoy cooking family meals, meaning I am more than able to prepare and cook healthy, balanced meals for your children.

I am able to do longer hours if need be and can be extremely flexible with hours to suit your family needs. Hourly rate is negotiable and the days you would like me to work are also negotiable.

Currently I am a full time live out nanny for a family with 2 young children, however their requirements have changed and I am no longer able to meet them unfortunately, so I am seeking a new, long term position with a family in need of a dedicated and reliable nanny.
