About Me

Profile - Gemma Perez

I trained and graduated from the world-famous Norland college, Hungerford, in 1996 and immediately commenced full-time, private nannying, caring for babies and young children. I have had a successful nannying career which spanned 10 years where I have gained valuable experience working in close proximity to families with young children, both as a "live-in" and "daily" nanny. The roles varied from sole charge, shared care, plus a mix of full-time and part-time with different families. I have worked with single parents and also as a proxy parent. I have experience working with children from new born through to 14 years of age, as well as special needs and twins. I took a career break to have my own two sons in 2008 and 2010. I now specialise in night nannying for new born singleton, twins and triplets and offer troubleshooting and sleep training on a consultancy basis. This enables me to combine my own family commitments with my years of experience and knowledge to help other families make positive changes to better enjoy their children's early years.
