Nursery World - Nanny of the year awarded by Voice

Teaching and childcare union Voice has named Julie Daniels from Ealing, London, as its Professional Nanny of the Year 2010.

At the union's annual Professional Nanny conference, held on 18 September at Chiltern College, Ms Daniels was presented the award by 2007 winner Heidi McFayden of Buckden Childcare Agency in Huntingdon.

Ms Daniels has worked as a nanny for 12 years and currently looks after three children as part of a nannyshare. She has a BTEC diploma in caring services and nursery nursing from Enfield College in London, and is trained in Makaton baby signing.

She said, 'Being named as Professional Nanny of the Year is such an honour. I am so grateful to the parents of the children I look after for nominating me and I was touched when they told me that they were putting me up for the award in recognition of fantastic work. Without them I wouldn't be where I am today.
