My Summary
Local Childcare Provider In Middlesbrough
About Me
My name is Emmanuella Udofia, I am 25 years old and I am the owner of my new business Playful Pals Childcare est 2024. I have been living in the Teesside area for 4 years. I am a BSc Mathematics graduate with experience from a BSc Psychology Degree.
I sparked an interest in childcare during University, where I studied Child Development in Psychology. I love children, interacting with them and watching them learn new words and phrases. Reading with the children is my favourite activity, as this is undoubtly the most important part of a child's development.
I enjoy looking after my family members and my friends' children from time to time, however, during my own childhood, I had a close bond with my own babysitter which I try to carry her loving, thoughtful influence into my work as a nanny.
I'm currently a daytime Nanny for the company: UNA Nannies & Sitters, however, I am also currently training to become a childminder. I also consider myself to be a sociable, confident and an easy going, energetic person.
My Experience
My background caring for infants, toddlers, and youth started when I worked as a Nursery Practicioner during my work experience in secondary school.
During my time in University, I studied Child Development in Psychology and upgraded to working with private families during the weekends and in the evenings. During this time, I gained experience caring for newborn babies, toddlers and older children. Activities during this time included; School Pickups & Drop Offs, Potty Training, Reading, Music & Art, Nappy Changing, Sleep Training and SEN Experience (Autism). I have also been learning British Sign Language to aid with Special Needs Children.
Ever since my graduation, I’ve worked with the Nanny Agency; UNA Nannies, which covers events such as wedding childcare and holiday childcare. I’ve been working in childcare for the last 3 years.

Hi Sabrina, Thank you for your review. I loved spending time with them. Especially on the drive back! They're great kids x
Emma is simply fantastic and has been sitting my baby since she was 4 months old and now she’s 5 months. My little one is comfortable around her and I have no worries at all when I leave her with Emma.

Thanks Ryan! I look forward to seeing you again!
Emma is a great help to us, she has been super understanding and caring to our son with SEN. Punctual and professional. Listens well and implements instructions, and also uses initiative to bring ideas to the table that may help. Emma is truly great to have around and I'm glad we found her again! 🥰

Emma is the only person outside of my family who has ever looked after our baby. She is very personable and interactive, and took time to get to know our babies likes and dislikes/ typical routine. This was invaluable reassurance, and she appears genuinely passionate about child development and care :)

Couldn’t really ask for more, we arrange a prior meeting for Emma to meet the kids and myself. She provided her id and dbs upon arrival and was really friendly and trusting.
She got in really well with the children and upon he coming for the evening I felt so much at ease knowing that they would be perfectly okay with Emma. I couldn’t recommend this lady more!
Will be definitely looking to have her more.

Was very nervous about the whole experience but Emma put my mind at ease the kids loved her and she kept them engaged. They both don't normally sleep all night without waking up but on that night they slept all through. Would definitely recommend

Emma was punctual, provided all her documentation without asking and quickly settled in with our children. She was warm and engaging with both our 6 and 2 year olds who are both looking forward to Emma’s next visit!
