About Me

Hello! I’m a caring, creative, and dependable nanny with a lifelong passion for supporting families and nurturing young minds. As a mother of three grown-up children, I bring both personal and professional experience to my childcare practice.

Over the years, I’ve worked with more than six families in nannying roles, often alongside my teaching career or during periods of study. I’ve consistently received glowing feedback and hold strong references from all my previous families. I’ve also been a trusted regular babysitter for many years.

I’m known for being organised, hands-on, and fun to be around — and I’ve often been told I’m a great cook! I love planning engaging activities, helping with homework, and encouraging learning through play. I'm also happy to assist with light household tasks like ironing, cooking, and tidying, if time allows.

Whether you're looking for dependable day-to-day support or an experienced pair of hands for occasional childcare, I’d love to help your family thrive.

My Experience

Hello! I'm a warm, experienced, and highly capable childcare professional with a lifelong passion for working with children and families. I’m a qualified teacher with a rich background in education, community development, and one-to-one childcare. I'm also in the early stages of a distance-learning PhD in English and Creative Writing, which allows me the flexibility to support a family in a nanny or babysitting role while continuing my academic journey.

My career in childcare began as a nanny — a role I loved so much it inspired me to go on and gain teaching qualifications. Since then, I’ve worked extensively in schools, community settings, and universities as a teacher, lecturer, and youth support worker. Throughout, I’ve continued to provide childcare to families, and to date I’ve worked with over six families in a nanny capacity, all of whom have given excellent feedback and provided glowing references. I've also regularly babysat for a wide range of families over the years.

I'm a proud mother of three grown-up children, whom I raised largely single-handedly, and I’m incredibly proud of the people they’ve become. My life experience and professional training mean I bring empathy, resilience, and a nurturing approach to every family I work with.

I offer a calm, creative, and organised presence in the home, with a strong ability to engage children in fun, stimulating, and educational activities. Whether it’s helping with homework, cooking healthy meals, storytelling, imaginative play, crafts, or outdoor adventures — your child/ren will be supported to thrive. I also gently encourage healthy eating, care for the environment, and good manners, and always aim to foster kindness and confidence.

I am looking for regular, flexible work to complement my PhD studies. I hold a current enhanced DBS certificate, Level 2 Food Hygiene, and nanny insurance. I'm also happy to assist with light household tasks when time allows, such as cooking, ironing, and tidying.

If you have any questions or would like to know more, please feel free to get in touch — I’d love to hear from you!
