How did you become International Nanny of the Year 2016?
My employers nominated me. I had to produce a 60-page portfolio answering questions, providing certificates, references and photographs. This then had to be bound and four copies sent to the International Nanny Association in the US. I then attended their conference in Washington DC last May where I received my award.
Is there a field you specialise in?
After qualifying as an NNEB nanny in 1991, I nannied until 2000 when I branched out and specialised in newborns working across the globe supporting new parents. I also took care of twins and triplets during this time. In 2015 I returned to nannying, caring for a little girl aged six months and I am still with her two years on.
