My Summary
About Me
PLEASE READ FULL PROFILE X
I am currently only able to offer evening babysitting, ad hoc weekend work & very rare ad hoc days due to me working a part time admin role around being a full time Mum to my own son.
Hey families, I'm Nanny Casey, a freelance Ad Hoc Nanny. What is an Ad Hoc Nanny & why would I need one I hear you ask....
As an Ad Hoc Nanny I provide childcare on a:
- TEMPORARY
- AS & WHEN
- NOW & THEN
- OCCASIONAL
- FLEXIBLE basis ONLY!
You may already have childcare sorted or no need for regular help, but I can be contacted if:
- current Nanny is on leave
- a family emergency
- school & nursery closures/inset days
- last minute work commitments
- dinner plans/date nights
- self care days
The services I offer are:
- Ad hoc day time Nannying for ages 0-5 years
- Occasional evening babysitting for ages 0-10 years
My goal is to build long term relationships with families, therefore I do not take on emergency or one off bookings with families I have not met prior. I am always happy to take on new clients whether you need me ASAP or as a back up option for the future.
I have 16 years experience of working with children aged 0-10 years and find myself to be a motivated, calm, confident and above all passionate individual that aspires to be a successful Early Years child carer. I am extremely passionate about the well-being, learning and development of any child in my care and strive to be the best and give my all and more. I take my role serious and remain professional whilst being fun and energetic at the same time :) I like to believe I am adaptable, have common sense and use my own initiative in my role. As your Nanny (be it ad hoc or temporary) you can expect a good sense of humour, lots of photos & a balanced mix of playful learning at home and outdoor adventures!
My interest in Childcare began when I studied Child Development as one of my optional GCSE's, this led to me babysitting for family and friends. At the age of 19 I started my career full time in Early years settings where I gained experience of working with children aged 2-5 years from all walks of life. During my time in Early Years I have attended MANY types of training including Makaton, Forest School conference, introducing children to early literacy and making mathematics fun however my main passion is providing learning opportunities through play based on the individual child’s interests. After 10 years in nurseries and making my way up to room leader in both settings, I decided to take the leap into Nannying as I wanted to focus fully on the children and not paperwork. So far in my Nanny experience I have taken on part time positions for 4 families, 1 full time & ad hoc work with a handful of regular families with ages ranging from new born to 10 years.
Its best to mention early that as a confident & competent Nanny, I work best with families who (once the role/routine has been explained fully) give their Nanny autonomy over the role, trusting & allowing them to carry the role out without micromanagement.
If I have left anything out, feel free to ask away :)

My Availability
I like to have an initial phone/video call with families before taking on any work, to get to know each other a little better & to explore your needs.

Nanny Casey was an absolute lifesaver for my family and I. I got in touch with her after my second baby was a few months old and I needed a few hours a week to run errands and catch up with work, and Casey came to my rescue. My baby absolutely LOVES her and I felt completely secure leaving him in her care. She was wonderful with him, kept him stimulated with age-appropriate activities and helped with weaning as well which was fantastic. I feel very lucky to have found her and I can't recommend Casey more highly - she is the best!

Thank you Lynn! Finding you guys was a blessing, can’t wait to be back! X
Casey joined us when my twin boys were 2. She’s been with us now for a couple of months and since her arrival the boys have flourished! I can only echo the words of the other reviews and add.
Casey was able to quickly understand both boys as individuals, picking up well on their preferences and needs; whilst bringing her creative flair adding to their lives. She has been amazing at organising the boys toy box and encouraged toy rotation to help engage and drive the boys development.
What sets her apart from others is she is not afraid of mess and cleaning it all up, in fact she encourages it! She’s organised and brings activities with her that she knows will grab the attention of the boys individually. She is involved not just when she is working but takes an interest in the boys even when she isn’t. She is passionate about learning and I can see the wealth of knowledge she has gathered over the years when she engages with the twins.
Casey is someone who is a true childcare professional and has opened my eyes to the difference the right childcare can make to the growth and development to the boys. I highly recommend Nanny Casey!

Casey was always full of ideas on how to make time with our girls fun. They warmed to her instantly and she has a real skill of meeting children on their level.
Casey is most definitely a self-starter who is able to craft a daily itinerary that's varied with a large focus on play and getting outside.
Not only that, but Casey was really helpful in helping with my overflowing laundry basket; putting a wash on a folding clothes while my smallest baby napped.
Casey is warm, honest and ambitious, and clearly cares so much about the profession she's in.

As soon as we met Casey we knew she was right for our family. My nearly 2 year old and nearly 1 year old warmed to her instantly! While Casey was with us (we moved too far away!) Thole kids loved going to different playgrounds , singing songs playing games and Arts and Crafts with her. She has definitely been missed!

Casey is a lovely Nanny, our 2 year old daughter took to her straight away, it was like they’d known each other for ages! Casey was great at entertaining our daughter and making sure she was fed and changed regularly. Would definitely use Nanny Casey again :-) xx
