Joan Derder

I am a hard-working, professional dedicated person. I approach life with a smile and believe people see this in me. I love my job and to make a difference to each people's lives. Throughout my 15 years of experience of being a nanny, I focus on offering a safe, nurturing and happy environment.

I am also a very much capable of what I do and have the responsibility and knowledge to look after other important parts of household life on behalf of the families I work for. With these skills, I greatly enjoy working within a strong, loving, family environment.

This has included regular outings to local playgroups, parks, and soft play, encouraging social interaction and active play. I have worked closely with the parents to ensure continuity of care and open communication, adapting to the family’s changing needs and routines as he has grown.
