My Summary
About Me
I am a reliable, patient and kind individual who is experienced looking after children aged 2 and above. My services include supporting young children with their development and teaching them ways to look after their own mental well-being. I provide Spanish, English, Music, Art and Yoga/Meditation sessions designed for young children. I enjoy cooking in my spare time, as well as reading, meditating and songwriting. My job is so rewarding and the services I offer are beneficial for the families in both a childminding and babysitting capacity.

Between 2018 and 2021, I produced several student films and graduated from Falmouth University with a First Honors.

We are so blessed to have found Caitlin. She has fast developed a natural rapport with our children and is polite, professional and engaging. We couldn’t ask for a better childminder.

Caitlin is a wonderful and vibrant young woman, who has a very natural affinity with children. Both of my girls are very difficult to engage, but Caitlin worked with this, by mixed learning with play, and so seamlessly, that the girls didn't realise it was work at all!
She has been teaching my 5 year old Spanish, in a way that she enjoys and understands in 3 hour blocks, and my 3 year old number and letter recognition (as well as a lot of fun playing)
Really lovely, and will be sorely missed when she leaves Cornwall, she will be hard to replace.
