I am a fun and patient nanny who enjoys spending time working with children. I have 20+ years experience.

I enjoy being out and about, joining in activities with both children and adults, along with organising days out and playdates during work time where applicable.
My Experience
I have 20+ years experience looking after children of all ages.
I started babysitting triplets when I was 16 years old and the children (in the begining) were two years old. Since then I have looked after many children from one day old up to 14 years old.
I have cared for children at all times of the day. Sometimes from 4am until very late evening and often throughout the night for multiple days at a time.
I have kept them safe and entertained with various activities such as: Bike rides, Picnics, going to the beach/park/zoo/soft play areas, cooking, enjoying arts and crafts, dancing, role play and playing games both inside and in the garden as well as days out at attractions and taking part in various baby and toddler groups.
My Qualifications

AND MORE. Please view my documents.
I hold a full clean driving licence. It is insured for business use.
My Availability

Also happy to babysit during weekend hours.

Thank you so much. Always happy to help.
I can easily recommend Karen, she has been an absolute lifesaver looking after my 2 children aged 7 and 2. The girls have LOVED having Karen look after them, she is fun, kind and caring. She fitted into our home life so easily and was incredibly flexible when work commitments made is late. 5 stars for Karen!!

Thank you so much. Such a shame you didn't have more hours to offer. Don't forget im only down the road any time you need a 'princess x2' sitter ????
Karen has helped to look after both my two children (3& 4) while I have been busy or away. I feel completely content knowing they are safe and happy with her. She's incredibly kind, efficient and calm with them and makes my life incredibly easy. She's a natural with any children and is always willing to please and help with anything.
