About Me

Hi-ya!

My style is to get out & about exploring and playing, looking at & chatting about things on nature walks (& jumping in puddles!), going to playparks & museums.
I was brought up absorbed in a lot of nature facts & folklore and I love to share this with the children.
I enjoy encouraging the children to learn new skills such as going on the slide safely or riding a balance bike.
I love reading books, playing games, building jigsaws & doing arts & crafts with children.
During evening babysitting duties I am happy to watch some tv or read a book and to check on your children (frequency at parents/childs request & trusting my own gut instinct) to ensure they are safe & sound.
I always request children’s personal information & 2 emergency contacts in case of an extremely rare event of anything unexpected arising.

My Experience

I have 4 children & 2 grandchildren.
I have been a homemaker, a home helper, a home educator, a pet owner, a carer, previously a registered childcarer, previously a registered care assistant for the elderly & disabled experienced in the community & in a care home, baby massage instructor, a massage therapist for adults, a private house cleaner, a private parents helper, previously sold baked goods at a market stall & as a homemaker I am a reasonably good cook.

Life saver!

5 stars

Been let down by a few other babysitters and gave Michelle a message as a last effort to have someone reliable and trustworthy on hand. She made me feel at ease immediately and was very professional, totally fits the bill. Cannot wait to have her round again, feel like I have a little piece of my own life back and no longer stress about arranging reliable childcare when needed. So Thank you Michelle!!! 🥰

Michele is a wonderful childminder, she is highly professional, conscientious and caring. I have found that children love her genlte, playful nature. Michele is very kind, and well experienced with children of all ages and I know my children are always in safe hands when she minds them. I am very lucky to have found Michele to look after my children when I need her to, she is very flexible and always tries her best to accommodate our needs.

Thankyou for this heartwarming review!
The boys are lovely friendly active children, full of giggles! Such fun to care for. Looking forward to more fun times ahead.

Very good and reliable !

5 stars

Michele has been minding my child for more than a year now. We’ve had a very positive experience with her. My child loves going to her and enjoys all the activities Michele plans. Michele sends us pictures during childminding sessions of the child getting along so well and happy. She is very friendly,organised and follows a child-centered approach.She lets us know via text or call of she’s running late to bring back the child, which is very rare. She is very much reliable. She is flexible with timings and happy to mind at short notice when suits.I strongly reccommend Michele to anyone who is looking for a childminder whom you can trust.

Thankyou very much for your lovely review!
It has been a pleasure to watch your daughter grow into the beautiful little person she is now! Incredible how much she has grown & learned this past year, she is a real credit to you.

Unreliable

1 stars

Michelle is good with children my two girls enjoyed being with her playing, going on trips ect. However she has been unreliable and unprofessional with regards to lifting them from playgroup and school. Running late due to having too many young children to cope with, not turning up causing the child anxiety, forgetting the time, sleeping in, being in a incident and not contacting us at all until after 9pm. This caused our family stress whenever we were both in work.

Very fortunate to have found her

5 stars

Felt so fortunate to have found such an incredible babysitter for my little one! Not only is she always punctual and reliable, but she truly cares about the child's well-being. Her nurturing nature and genuine love for kids shines through.

She goes above and beyond to create a safe and engaging environment, wether it is trips to a park, getting books or getting the children to play together, Michele has kept my child entertained and stimulated. I can tell that she genuinely enjoys spending time with little ones, and that brings so much peace of mind.

She's well-prepared and knowledgeable about child safety, and I appreciate how she takes the time to communicate and sends updates.

I still feel lucky to have found Michelle, she is great , makes us at ease.
We were intially stressed about arranging childminding, times etc. but Michelle is very flexible and gave us great ideas. She also sent me pictures of my child settling well and happy on her first day with her, while I was at work, which was so thoughtful of her. She is also great with communication and very approachable

Thanks very much Christy. Your daughter has settled well with me, she’s so cute!

our childminder

5 stars

Michele comes to our house most school mornings to provide childcare for our 2 girls aged 3 and 5 depending on our shifts. Michele is very friendly approachable and brilliant with children. Our 2 girls have been very fond of Michele from the very start which makes it easier leaving them. Michele is organised and able to get the children into routine with ease. She puts the children first, plays games with them such as I spy and is focused on their development and well being. Michelle ensures the girls are dressed neatly, does their hair (which they love) and takes them too school. We are so thankful we found Michele as she is perfect and it is very difficult to find early morning childcare. She has also minded the girls on school holidays and they enjoy the adventures that Michele organised., Going to the park, soft play, folk parks, planetarium and other enjoyable educational age appropriate places.
