Hi, I’m Darcy! - The Wedding Nanny Teacher 🤎

I’m a qualified primary school teacher with over eight years of experience, specialising in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and supporting children with a wide range of additional needs, including Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

From a young age, I’ve always had a natural love for caring for children. Whether it was entertaining younger children at family gatherings, organising games or getting involved in imaginative play, I’ve always been happiest when surrounded by children and their wonderful individual personalities.

Throughout my teaching career, I’ve worked across a variety of educational settings, including primary schools, nurseries and alternative provision. I’ve also taken on leadership responsibilities within Early Years, developing engaging learning environments and supporting children with a diverse range of developmental, emotional and additional needs.

These experiences have shaped my calm, patient and adaptable approach to childcare, allowing me to recognise that every child is unique and deserves to feel understood, valued and supported.

I’m a huge believer in child-led learning and play. I love following children’s interests, encouraging their curiosity and creating opportunities for them to explore, have fun and grow in confidence. Whether that’s getting creative with arts and crafts, imaginative play, dancing, games or simply snuggling up with a favourite story, I’m always happy to get involved!

One of my favourite things about working with children is building those special connections. I take the time to get to know each child’s personality, interests and routines, helping them feel comfortable, secure and happy in my care.
 

Outside of teaching and nannying, I’m a very proud auntie to my gorgeous nephew, Palmer, who I absolutely adore! I love spending time with him, and being such a hands-on auntie has made my passion for nurturing and caring for children even more special.

I also love spending quality time with my family and friends, enjoying a little shopping trip and planning my next holiday! I’m a huge lover of sunshine and travelling, with Marbella being one of my absolute favourite places to visit.

Closer to home, I love escaping to Windermere, visiting beautiful Bamburgh and spending time by the coast at Whitley Bay. Whether it's a weekend away, a day out or simply making memories with the people I love, I always enjoy having something lovely to look forward to.
 

I understand just how much trust parents place in someone looking after their children, particularly during such an important occasion. It's something I never take for granted. For me, providing childcare is about so much more than simply supervising children. It's about creating a warm, nurturing environment, building genuine relationships and making sure every child feels safe, happy, included and cared for. I want parents to feel completely reassured that their children are in experienced, loving hands, allowing them to relax and enjoy their special occasion knowing their children are having a wonderful time too.
 

That's the heart behind everything I do at The Nanny Nest Co.

With love, Darcy x
