Experience & Qualifications

Introduction:

Hello! My name is Alex and my main aim is to ensure your children have a better holiday than you! This is my second winter nannying in Morzine and I know all the best spots - whether it’s for a crepe, a trip to the giant ball pit, the best sledging slopes or a walk to see the ponies! I have a degree in music and would love to offer any music making your children may want to do, I know about 1000 games from my time as a Kids' Club Rep and entertainer for Tui, and most of all I love nonsense and fun!. Having worked in a holiday and educational environment I am happy to employ a reasonable amount of discipline should it be needed, but we're on holiday and here to have a great time! I've grown up skiing and spending time in the mountains and love exploring should the children wish to spend time outside. I'm happy to prepare activities and would love a list of your child/ren's interests beforehand to tailor our time together accordingly! Looking forward to meeting you :)
Qualifications:

I have a degree in Music from the University of Southampton.
I have 3 A Levels in Maths, Physics and Music
I have experience as a private Nanny in the UK, a Kids' Club Rep in a Tui all inclusive hotel for a summer, a Maths After School Club Leader, a music teacher and various other roles involving childcare and entertainment.
I also hold a valid 1st Aid Certificate and have previously held Pediatric First Aid.
Fully DBS checked.
Experience:

This will be my second season nannying in Morzine! I have been responsible for KS1 up to 30 children at a time, and as a Kids' Club Rep working with groups of 3-5s, 6-8s, 9-11s and 12-15s (at a ratio of 1 rep to 8 children). I have also worked as a 1:1 with autistic children, and as a private Nanny, music tutor, and tutor to autistic children outside of mainstream school.

My References

Reference Received from: Joe Teenan

Reference:

"Alexandra was big part of the team. As a lead instructor I was in-charge of the team and having Alex in my team was always a bonus. Not only is she incredibly hard working, she was always enthusiastic and helpful, to both customers and co-workers. She never let anything get in the way of her work and always brought laughter and happiness into work. She was especially good when working with younger children, she brought them out of their shell and showed them it’s okay to work outside of their comfort zone. I believe Alex will be a great addition to Alpine child care."

"Alexandra is a very kindhearted individual who can only be described as a bundle of energy. She has an infectious personality and I have observed her work with a variety of ages from 3-15 and also observed her build great rapport with adult guests. She is incredibly reliable and has a very can-do attitude by putting her all into every given task and adapting to her surroundings easily. She is a credit to any team she is a part of. "

"Alex was absolutely fantastic with our children - we felt confident leaving them with her knowing there would be taken out for lots of fresh air including to see the horses and up the mountain! The kids had a great time playing in the snow and Alex had no problem navigating the 6 (!) children under 3 years old. Would highly recommend!
