My Summary
About Me
*I currently have work Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday*
I am a creative, passionate and organised individual. Since taking a year and a half out to travel the world, I have recently moved to Llanrwst. I’m hoping to embed myself in the local community and find work in which I can expand my current skill set and utilise the experience and training I’ve gained so far.
I am available weekdays, weekends, evenings and overnight.
Since finishing university, I have been committed to working with children and having studied Art I find it easy to utilise and transfer these skills thus providing creative and exciting activities and furthering artistic experiences.

Sophie looked after my baby from newborn to 2 years old and I can’t recommend her highly enough! She carried out nannying, babysitting, housekeeping and even stayed overnight for me on occasions.
A fantastically, kind, caring and thoughtful lady who brings such a burst of sparkly positive energy into everyone’s lives.
Sophie is proactive, flexible and enthusiastic. She anticipates yours and your child’s needs well in advance. She was always there when I needed her the most and had already thought of things I hadn’t even considered. She is also wonderfully creative and can keep children occupied and interested for long stretches. My baby thrived under her care.
As a single first time mum, her experience was invaluable to me and I will be forever grateful. She has a natural empathy with children and my daughter absolutely loves her.
She is sorely missed and I hope she will be available for childcare again when she finished her world travels.
I would say she is like a real life Mary Poppins but she is actually better than that!

Sophie only worked for us for a few days but the children really liked her. Both of them were very comfortable with Sophie. She is very flexible, clear on what she can and can't do and made us feel at ease when we left our children under her care, particularly our younger one who has special needs. Would definitely recommend her to any family!
