My Summary
About Me
A little bit about me....
I am a very happy, active person who likes to keep busy.
I live with my partner, our 6month and five year old daughters, two friendly dogs and three beautiful cats.
I love the outdoors and especially like Kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming, cycling, going to the beach, walking the dogs, spending time with friends etc
I have always loved working with children and like to find different ways to keep them occupied and happy.
I have excellent references and I am happy for any of my jobs to be contacted. I have always had a very good relationship with family's I have worked for and look forward to finding new family’s to help with.
My Experience
I have been in child care for 19 years.
I started off working in a nursery and after a year I started nannying for 2 lovely girls (who were 6months and 3years at the time) I have been part of this lovely family ever since.
I then nannied part time:
- 1 year part time with twin girls of 8 months and their brother aged 4.
-2 years with an 18m boy and his newborn brother.
-5 years with a girl aged 7.
My next nanny job was with 3 lovely girls (aged 1 and 3 at start date and a newborn, born February 2016) who I was with for 6 years.
During this time I also looked after a gorgeous girl (aged 7months at start date) and her twin brothers were born November 2015, I was with them for 4 years. I do also very occasionally still look after them at weekends.
I then worked part time for lovely boy/girl twins (age 5months when I started in November 2017). I have been with them for for over 5 years now and it’s just been amazing with my little girl as they have become such good friends and learnt a lot from each other.
My last nanny family was part time for a lovely family with a baby girl and 6 year old boy (since January 2021). I now childmind for them.
I also worked with another amazing family, working overnights with a newborn, who then came to me for childminding.
I am now an Ofsted registered childminder and currently working part time with a limited number of children, including some I have previously nannied for.

Kerry helped me with childcare when i needed the most.
I met her briefly and was quiet anxious to leave my child to someone completely new.
But i am really glad that i found the right person, she is a lovely and very responsible person.
She Looked after my ~13 months old boy on a last min call.
Wadaan was super happy and he really had a good time.
She is the one you can leave your child with peace of mind ,that your child is in safe hands.

We used Kerry for the first time to babysit in the evening the other night. She was really polite and no trouble at all. We felt confident that we left our toddler in safe hands - we will be using her again!

I found Kerry on childcare very last minute and she helped me massively, whilst originally booking her for the evening for a few hours , I then asked her to stay on for me which she happily did. She’s very polite, good with timekeeping,and my little one seemed to warm to her right away. Would highly recommend Kerry.
