My Summary
About Me
Hello, My name is Julie, I am a very kind and caring OFSTED Registered Nanny, and I enjoy helping people. Advanced DBS Checked, Advanced Child Protection Certificate, extensive OFSTED approved childcare qualifications, clean driving license, Level 3 Paediatric First Aid Certificate, and professional first aid kit. Anaphylaxis adrenaline pen trained and defibrillator trained. I live in Harrogate and have two lovely children aged 23 and 21. I decided to become a nanny because I love working with young children. They are inspiring, inquisitive, and amazing. I find it incredibly rewarding watching a child grow and develop, and I would like to play a role in helping children reach their full potential. Your child will be welcomed into my loving care and made to feel safe, secure, and extremely well cared for. I aim to provide a wide range of stimulating and educational activities that will be based around your childs' current interests. We will have regular outings to local baby groups, the library, play parks, and lovely walks. I currently or have recently worked as a volunteer for six charities including The Air Ambulance, Harrogate and Knaresborough Toy Library, Age UK, Hearing Dogs for the Deaf, Medical Detection Dogs and Springboard Harrogate Homeless Project. I love to take extra special care of children from birth upwards. I am a very dedicated nanny who takes great pride in her work. I specialize in caring for newborn babies up to primary school age. I was awarded the Childcare.co.uk Certificate of Excellence. Thank you for reading my profile, and I look forward to hearing from you.
My Experience
I am currently looking for my next lovely long-term family as my last one has just started school. So I have good availability at the moment. I work as a Sole Charge Nanny and in a Super Nanny role, helping a range of families to resolve problems and issues regarding their children. I have had twenty three years experience in childcare and as a full time mum bringing up my own two lovely children and I have always helped to run Toddler groups, Play Schools and after school clubs which my children attended during that time.

We’ve had the pleasure of having Julie provide ad hoc babysitting for our children and we couldn’t be more grateful.
From the very first visit, she brought along a delightful array of games, books, and toys that immediately captivated our children. Her ability to engage them in creative and educational play is truly remarkable. It’s evident that she takes the time to understand each child’s interests and needs, as she quickly formed a genuine connection with them.
What stands out most is her approach to childcare, she makes the children feel comfortable and secure in her care. Her warmth, patience, and enthusiasm have made her a positive impact on the household :)

Dear Helena (Real name)
Thank you for your lovely review, It is greatly appreciated. It is a pleasure to continue to care for your lovely family and I hope to make it a more permanent position from now on.
Kind regards

Julie comes on an ad hoc basis for my 2 year old. She always brings lots of toys and games. On her last visit Julie was with us all day so took George to the library and Harlow carr. George is always really happy to see Julie and I really appreciate Julie keeping me updated with photos and texts so I can see how they are getting on.
Julie has fitted in really well to our busy family life. Thank you Julie.

Hello Ann
Thank you for your lovely review, It is greatly appreciated.

Kind regards

Is what my 5 year old is always asking us. She loves Julie’s visit and is so excited when she comes to babysit. Our daughter loves how she comes with a huge bag of books to read her before bed. It’s invaluable knowing that both our 2 and 5 year olds are in safe and
reliable hands. Even when our 2 year old has woken up Julie has settled him back to sleep without issue. We’re so glad to have found Julie!

Julie is amazing, so warm, friendly, professional, punctual and most importantly our kids love her!
Julie has looked after our two children (3 yrs and 6 months old) for the past 5 months, ranging from daycare and evenings.
We are super happy with Julie’s care, she is knowledgeable, kind and has a warm nature and very capable person. Our son loves her ”Julie toys” and she can keep him entertained for hours. Our 6 month old daughter enjoys her time with Julie and is so happy with her.
Julie has been my rock when I have felt motherhood a struggle with 2 young kids, she has supported me and our family in more ways than one.
Thank you Julie for always being there when we need you :)

We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Julie as part of our family for the past couple of months. She has been a great support, providing not only care for our babies but also making my life much easier.
Julie is warm, compassionate and reliable. She reads exciting stories to our babies and comes with new books each visit. The girls enjoy play time and story time with Julie.
On top of her childcare skills, she’s also been an incredible help around the house. From tidying up to keeping things organized, and keeping me going with cups of tea she always takes the initiative and ensures our home runs smoothly.
I would recommend Julie to any family in need of a kind, reliable, and hardworking Nanny.

We have four children and have never had a nanny. it was a concept that is quite alien to me and I’ve never thought I needed and just battled on with the juggle of work, family life and a very hectic child schedule.
However, as our children have grown up daily life has become more challenging and demanding with activities, school work, a new baby and also some neuro diversity thrown into the mix!! We desperately needed help!! Julie has just stepped in and worked wonders. She works effortlessly around what we need from helping our children with their homework. Julie is meticulous & consistent with this and they have both developed tremendously. I no longer go to bed on an evening with a knot in my stomach that they haven’t done their reading or spellings or maths work. Consequently I have been able to focus alot of my attention on our teenager who needs a lot of help currently and also our 9 month old. I get to enjoy the start of the weekend without stress over all the work that’s built up over the school week.
In addition to the above Julie is very traditional in her approach and will read stories, play board games and identify areas that could really benefit the family except she does all this without judgement and just her experience. I’ve been able to instill new ground rules in our house that have helped me and benefited the children significantly.
I feel like I’ve got a friend and back up in the house to support me when everything is just getting too much, she really is wonderful!

Julie helped us with short term childcare, looking after our 8 month old son twice a week for a 6 week period. Our son adored Julie and took to her instantly. He loved story time and Julie’s big bag of toys.
I couldn’t recommend Julie more. She is amazing, was extremely flexible, incredibly reliable and was fantastic with our son. We couldn’t have asked for a better nanny and we’re really sad to be moving away.

Julie is totally amazing. Nothing is too much trouble, she will come to help at the drop of a hat. The care she gives is genuine and from the heart and we can really see that in our children after they spend time with her. All four of our children love her and can’t wait for her to come back every time she leaves.
