My Summary
About Me
Hello, my name is Mel, and I am an experienced Social Careworker based in South Edinburgh. I am deeply committed to supporting children’s growth and development, combining a natural ability to understand their needs with a compassionate and intuitive approach. With a strong emphasis on empathy, I recognise the challenges that parents face in balancing their professional responsibilities while ensuring their children receive the best possible care. My mission is to partner with families to create nurturing and supportive environments that enable children to thrive and parents to feel unburdened.
My Experience
I am dedicated to supporting children's developmental needs by designing individualised care plans that address each child’s unique strengths and challenges. My approach not only focuses on fostering a child’s growth and well-being but also on providing working parents with the support they need to succeed. With three years of experience as a social Careworker, I have worked closely with children with special needs, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), and Down Syndrome. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychotherapy and a Master’s in Occupational Psychology, equipping me with a strong foundation in understanding and supporting children’s mental, emotional, and developmental health. For added peace of mind, I have a clean DBS check, a full, clean driver’s license, and a child car seat for safe transportation.
My Qualifications
A Bachelor’s degree in Psychotherapy and a Master’s in Occupational Psychology

I am available Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. While these are my primary hours, I may be able to accommodate evening or weekend requests. I am happy to discuss your needs in detail.

Mel has been looking after my three boys (11, 9 and 6) since August and she has been a godsend. The kids love her, she is incredibly calm, kind, thoughtful and patient. She shows no favourites, making time for each child, playing games and encouraging them to chat away about their day. She is incredibly reliable and her communication is excellent. I would highly recommend her to all.

Communication
Mel was our nanny and took care of our 15 month old daughter from Sep until November 2024. She really bonded and build a relateionship with her and we were at ease that our child was in good hands both when we were at home and out. Mel is a kind and sensitive person and I would recommend her to look after your child.
