About Me

Hi, my name is Laura and I am 37 years old. I live in North Baddesley with my partner, our two sons and our little toy poodle. I am currently looking for work to start from January 26.
My youngest son will be starting preschool with his older brother and I will need to pick them both up for 4pm. I am flexible on start time as my partner will take them to preschool.
I will be available to work Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from Jan 2026.
8am-3pm or 3.30 depending on where you live. My boys have the holidays off preschool so I would prefer to work term time only However if you’re flexible to allow my children to join during the holidays then I can be available. I have plenty of experience of brining my children to work so it doesn’t interfere with me doing my job.


In my spare time I enjoy reading, walking, days out with family, Photography and travel. I like to keep healthy, eat well and try to be as active as possible. I enjoy walks with my family and our dog and love being in nature. I am kind and caring and a real people person. Children are naturally drawn to me as I respect and value them. I give them space to come to me in their own time and don’t overwhelm them. I can become part of the family whilst remaining professional at the same time. I have worked with many different families with differed values and discipline styles, so therefore I completely follow mum and dad’s wishes when it comes to approaching these things. I myself am a gentle parent (I don’t need to shout, however I am firm but fair). I believe in setting boundaries to keep the child safe etc.

I am ideally looking for 3 days. I am very experienced with all age groups and have been a nanny for 17 years.
I have fantastic knowledge of the early years foundation stage and ( If you’re interested) I can plan activities and outings accordingly to your child’s age. This will ensure they’re meeting their age appropriate milestones. I have worked with children from newborn to age 16 and as a people person, I feel that this comes naturally to me. Including having a cup of tea with granny every week! I am happy to socialise the children as often as you like as I have a fantastic network of nanny friends around me. We are all a tight knit group and the children have made great friendships.
I have worked in many settings including nurseries, holiday clubs, private households with all ages. I have also had experience with a range of special needs and disabilities.

My Experience

I have 17 Years experience with children professionally but even more in general. I have studied and gained my qualifications but I have also worked in nurseries for many years and with families as their nanny. I Can provide many glowing references.

My Qualifications

Level 2 in childcare learning and development
Level 3 in childcare learning and development
First year of a BA hons degree in Education and early years (I wanted to be a teacher but changed my mind) this works out as an equivalent to level 4.
Level 2 in counseling

My Availability

I would ideally like to work 3 days a week.
Please message If you would be interested.

We have been absolutely delighted with Laura's service. Her wealth of experience with kids is evident in her exceptional care and attention to detail. She has a natural ability to connect with kids, making them feel safe and happy from the very first meeting. Her professionalism is outstanding—always punctual, organized, and thorough in her communication. Knowing that my daughter is in such skilled and compassionate hands gives us tremendous peace of mind. I highly recommend Laura to any family in need of a trustworthy and experienced babysitter!
