Nicky
Nanny in Wealden (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
I am a calm, patient, fun and energetic child carer. I specialise in ASD and PDA and have a wealth of experience and training.
My Experience
With over 20 years of professional childcare experience, I provide warm, reliable, and nurturing care tailored to each child’s individual needs. I am a qualified Early Years Teacher and former Nursery Manager and Early Years lecturer, with experience working with families both in the UK and overseas, giving me an appreciation of different cultures, parenting styles, and family values.
I am currently looking for part-time nanny work, either full days or after-school care, and I’m happy to support families with flexible arrangements where possible.
I have extensive experience caring for newborns, including working as a night nanny, supporting families through those precious early weeks with feeding, settling routines, sleep support, and providing parents with much-needed rest and reassurance.
I also have significant experience supporting children and young people with ADHD, Autism, PDA, and a wide range of additional educational and developmental needs, always focusing on helping every child feel safe, understood, and able to thrive.
Having worked with Ultra High Net Worth (UHNW) families, I understand the importance of professionalism, discretion, and respecting each family’s privacy. Whether caring for a newborn, supporting school-aged children, or providing after-school care, I pride myself on creating a calm, engaging, and loving environment where children can flourish and parents can feel completely confident that their children are in safe hands.

My sister was in Lewes visiting inlaws for Christmas when her and her 4 month old twins were struck with bad flu. Like a Christmas miracle Nicky was available within 24 hrs to work overnight look after the boys, give them their medication on time and generally restore wellbeing and support to the entire family. From the first moment she was professional and caring and put everyone at ease. The help meant so much and really saved the day until everyone was back on their feet. Really can't thank or praise her enough.

Nicky has been great with our little one - newborn. Nicky has helped us with all duties such as feeding/ burping/changing/ sleep etc and guided us. Feel happy and calm leaving her with baby which has been very important especially as we have had baby loss. Nicky is super lovely to have with us, felt very relaxed having her and been able to get sleep, she is considerate with being quiet as we have a small flat... and we look forward to her coming.

Nicky was wonderful throughout. She came out to meet the children prior to babysitting for us. Our two children thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Nicky cooked tea with the help of our ten year old as sous chef. 🤪 very happy children. Very happy to highly recommend and will most certainly engage her each time we require a local babysitter.
