AN award-winning nanny from South Craven is now also an award winning writer with her first book aimed at helping children and families come to terms with having a nanny.
Maria Culley, who lives in Silsden and who has worked with young children for more than 15 years, says she is honoured to have received a silver award for her book There's a Nanny in MY House by the Literary Titan - an organisation made up of professional editors, writers, and professors with a passion for the written word.
Maria was also a Family Children's Champion Award finalist in 2022 and won the LUXLIFE Parent and Baby Awards- Most Inspirational Early Years Nanny of 2022.
Maria said: "Having worked for many years within the early years sector and most recently the last nine as a nanny there was a clear lack of support for families and children to aid the transition for nanny being an option.
"There are a lot of books readily available for starting a nursery, new school so it made sense that the gap in the market was filled. Its a honour to be a an award winning nanny and now an award winning author too."
There's a Nanny in MY House, with illustrations by Madison Powlesland, can be bought on Amazon priced £7.99
