About Me

I’m a bubbly, caring, and enthusiastic Nursery Teacher with a real passion for working with children. I love being part of their learning journey — whether it’s introducing new ideas, supporting their development, or simply watching those “lightbulb moments” as they grow and thrive. I’m also naturally organised and full of energy, so I enjoy planning fun, enriching activities like trips to museums, parks, and creative play sessions that keep little minds engaged and inspired.

My Experience

Hello! I’m a dedicated and experienced childcare professional with a BA (Hons) in Childhood Studies and Special Educational Needs (SEN), and over 14 years of hands-on experience supporting children from 3 months to 11 years old.

I’m currently working as a Nursery Teacher in a mainstream primary school, where I support early years children in a creative, inclusive environment. Caring for and nurturing young minds has always been a passion of mine. I began my journey at Small Wonders Nursery, where I gained my childcare qualifications while working closely with babies and toddlers.

Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working in a wide range of settings — including forest schools, primary schools, and private homes. I’ve been a Nursery Practitioner, a sole charge nanny, an EYFS assistant, and held the role of SENCO, supporting children with a variety of additional needs and managing challenging behaviour.

I bring a calm, creative, and nurturing approach to every childcare role. Whether it’s playtime, bedtime, school prep, or emotional support, I work hard to ensure every child feels safe, seen, and supported.

We had Ebony babysit for us a few times, and we found her to be a brilliant babysitter and very punctual. Our four year old son really liked her and she used to read him lots of books which he really enjoyed. Unfortunately, we have now moved to Australia, but we would definitely recommend Ebony.

Thankyou so much Lorna it was a joy to work with you guys :)

This was my first time getting a babysitter, so wasn’t sure what to expect. But felt at ease once i met Ebony and the kids loved having Ebony around. She played games with them and helped put them to bed before we got back. Will definitely be calling Ebony in the future.

Ebony babysat for my husband and I so we could go out for our anniversary and she did not disappoint. We left her with 2 children, a 4 year old and a 6 month old and she got them both to sleep for us. She has a calming nature and played board games with the 4 year old who really likes her. Would definitely hire her again!
