My Summary
About Me
Hi, I'm Ripley, 32 and currently live in Gillingham. I have 11 years experience caring for multiple children from newborn to 9 years, trained and certified in Paediatric First Aid, CPR and DBS.
I am very patient, caring, love to support children with their homework and joining in their activities.
Growing up in a large family of 12, in which 3 of my siblings are full time carers, I am capable to work with children of all ages as well as support them in their learning.

Feel free to contact me with any questions.

I provided care on two occasions. Following the second booking, I made the decision that the role was not the right fit and gave notice the same day.
All hours worked were completed as agreed.
I remain committed to professionalism, punctuality and clear communication in all roles.
Ripley helped us during an emergency and we’re very thankful. She came on short notice and took great care of our baby overnight. She was calm, kind, and professional. Thanks to her, we were able to rest and feel at ease. I would definitely recommend her to any family looking for a reliable babysitter!

I would highly recommend Ripley. She is from SE London and knows all the great places to take the little one(s). We have been working with Ripley for nearly six months and are very satisfied. Couldn't ask for a better nanny.
