My Summary
About Me
I’m a dedicated and caring nanny with over 13 years of experience working with children from infancy to 16 years. I hold a CACHE Level 3 Diploma in Childcare and Education and a Child Psychology qualification.
I currently care for three children age ranges 3–8, planning creative activities, outdoor adventures, and routines that support learning and confidence. I’m experienced in promoting positive behaviour, maintaining structure, and helping with light household duties.
I’ve also supported a young adult with additional needs, helping to build social and life skills through enjoyable, confidence-boosting activities.
I’m passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can thrive.
My Experience
I began working from a young age, gaining valuable responsibility and people skills from my first job in a café at just 13. As I developed my childcare qualifications, I focused my career on professional nannying. Over the past 13 years, I’ve worked with children from infancy through early teens, building strong, trusting relationships with families and supporting children’s growth at every stage.

Jodie looked after our daughter Nila, now 2.5 years old, for nearly a year, and we feel incredibly lucky to have had her support during this important stage of Nila’s development.
She is a warm, attentive, and highly responsible caregiver. Jodie helped Nila learn English through everyday communication and play, and engaged her in a wide variety of enriching activities — from attending educational playgroups and library visits to painting, crafting, building bug houses, and playing outdoors, including beach trips. Each day with Jodie was both fun and educational.
Jodie’s lovely daughter Bea also became a great playmate for Nila, which really supported her social development in a natural, joyful way.
She took full responsibility for Nila’s meals, preparing healthy lunches daily, and was instrumental in her potty training journey. Jodie also helped by taking Nila to nursery, which gave us much-needed flexibility in our work schedules.
Jodie is a truly exceptional nanny — reliable, creative, and deeply caring. We are only parting ways because of a family move, and we will miss both Jodie and Bea very much. We recommend her wholeheartedly to any family.

Jodie was absolutely fantastic! She went above and beyond when our baby was unexpectedly sick with gastroenteritis and is just such a lovely, dedicated person. She was so gentle and caring with our baby and we would use her again 100%.

my 1 year old loves spending time with Jodie, she comes once a month, often joined with her sweet daughter and my son ( and me ) are sad to see to them leave everytime.
Jodie makes you feel comfortable about leaving your child in her care, peice of mind is so important and she really is very considerate, professional and friendly. I'm so glad I found her!
I highly recommend Jodie for your babysitting or nannying needs.
