My Summary
About Me
I am a trained and qualified childcare provider with years of childcare experience. I'm a friendly, calm person who believes in a child centred approach, treating each child equally, but as individuals. I believe in safeguarding each child, as well as maintaining high levels of confidentiality. I believe in creating a safe, happy place for children to thrive and be their true selves. Childcare is a very rewarding career, which I enjoy working in.
Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new places, adventuring on days out, and capturing memories along the way with my phone camera. I also enjoy the simpler things in life, such as curling up with a good book or catching up on movies/series I've been meaning to watch. I also like to spend time with my kitten and visit family/friends when possible.
My Experience
When I went into childcare as a full-time profession, I was able to fulfil my dream of helping others and teaching future generations. Working in childcare is so varied that no day is the same. Watching the future generations become their own selves is inspiring, and knowing I was a part of their journey is very rewarding.
Alongside my experience of working with children in various settings, I have private experience of babysitting/nannying from 0 to 16. I have done this for several years, and I am happy to provide references from families I have helped.
My Qualifications
I have a level 3 in Early Years and Education.
I have an enhanced DBS, which is on the online update service.
I am paediatric first aid trained, with basic adult first aid included.
I have undergone various safeguarding training courses, online and with bcp Council back in 2021.

I’m truly grateful for Imogen, today was the first time Imogen has looked after my daughter while I was away at a conference today. Usually I would be so nervous as it was the first time but I was calm from the first conversation to trusting Imogen to pick up my daughter from nursery while I was outside of Bournemouth. I’ve truly never come across a babysitter like Imogen and I’m truly blessed as I’ve found her at a time I’ve cut contact with my family and no longer have family support. I don’t know how I would continue my career as a dj and a single mum and I truly came close to quitting my dream but life truly has a way of working out for the better. Being a single Mother feels more of an honour with Imogen in mine and my daughter’s life. Especially when single Mother’s put so much weight on themselves. I’m writing this with my daughter tucked in bed after a 3 hour journey home and usually my daughter would still be awake! I came home to Imogen picking up a few bits from the shop that I didn’t have time to get. Communication, punctuality and trust has been impeccable from the beginning. It feels incredible to have found my daughter’s babysitter especially when it’s so hard to find a babysitter who truly loves and wants to look after children. Thank you so much Imogen, my daughter and I are blessed to have you! You are an incredible babysitter and beautiful soul <3

Thank you for such a glowing review. It was so lovely to meet you both today and I look forward to working with you in the future x
Imogen has sat for my son 3 times, including during our wedding reception and overnight.
She has always been friendly, punctual, reliable, professional and most importantly has been fantastic with my son. She is engaging and attentive with him and he has always seemed very comfortable with her as a result.
It was very important for us to know that our baby was well taken care of on the night of the wedding, a night that could have been very overwhelming for him, and she gave us the peace of mind to be able to relax and enjoy the celebrations knowing he was in good hands.
Thanks Imogen, we will definitely be in touch next time we are looking for childcare 😊 xx

Thank you for a lovely review. I'm happy to hear you are pleased. It was a pleasure to help with your little one x
Imogen is absolutely amazing with my daughter who is 4. First time she helped me out on a very short notice and my daughter was so happy when she came back from hers. She get’s so happy and excited as soon as she knows that she is going to see Imogen. Definitely recommend her to everyone.

Thank you for such a positive review. I'm glad to hear she had fun :) x
Imogen looked after my 10 month old son. It was the first time I’ve left him with anyone other than family so I was super nervous but Imogen kept me updated the whole time and I was reassured. He came home very happy and smiley and Imogen provided lots of activities and playtime with him. we even got a painting he made which was so special. Thank you so much! Will definitely be using Imogen’s services again :)
