• Fully engaging and being active with the child on a daily basis
• Working alongside Mum, other nannies, and other staff members
• Ensuring a cohesive, supportive and drama-free environment that allows the child to thrive and fully supports the family
• Planning age appropriate sensory and engaging activities
