About Me

A highly experienced, versatile childcare professional with a unique blend of skills gained across 18+ years in
both private and educational settings. I bring eight years as a professional nanny caring for children from
newborn to teens, alongside six years as a qualified UK primary school teacher (Reception and Year 1), and
four years as the founder and manager of a successful private childcare setting. Confident in all aspects of
early years and infant care, I have supported numerous families with routines, developmental milestones,
weaning, toilet training and behavioural guidance. I specialise in gentle sleep training and have a proven track
record of settling multiple infants simultaneously—my personal best being six children aged 11 months to 3
years, all asleep within 20 minutes!
As a passionate Early Years educator, I create nurturing, play-based environments where children feel safe,
valued and excited to learn. I am deeply committed to helping children reach developmental milestones
through outdoor exploration, structured play and age-appropriate academic activities. Known for my warmth,
consistency and patience, I build strong, respectful relationships and maintain a calm, positive presence.
