About Me

I am mum to 2 lovely daughters aged 17 and 20 years. My girls, their Dad and I live in Tongwynlais with our very much loved cat. I help at my local toddler group and as a volunteer for Safe Families. I like a challenge and when my girls were little, I set up 'The Wooden Toy Company'! I am a non smoker and car owner. I am a professional career Nanny offering bespoke daytime, evening and night time freelance Nannying. I can be available at short notice and can offer ad hock Nanny cover, babysitting and Proxy Parenting.

My Experience

I have experience of new born babies and older children too. I qualified as a nanny at the age of 18 and have continued to build on my professional knowledge with the addition of children and families work related courses and learning though out my working life.
Since 1990 I have worked for families here in Cardiff, London and Brussels. I also worked for 4 years as a Nursery Nurse and Deputy Manager for a local Daycare provider and I have been an approved Kinship carer. I have gained a wealth of experience and consider myself to be equipped and ready to step into any role.
I have Emergency Peadiatric First Aid training including up to date knowledge of Epipen procedures and first hand experience of children with allergies, anaphylaxis, asthma and eczema.
I have DBS checks for organisations that I volunteer for.

My Qualifications

My relevant Qualifications are:
GCSE Childcare

ADCE (Advanced Diploma in Child care and Education)
A Level Psychology

My Availability

I am a self employed freelance Nanny offering ad hock and bespoke child care cover.

I offer evening babysitting, weekdays and weekends, over nights and 24hr covers. I can provide on-call cover, one-off days if you have an appointment or event to go to or ad hoc proxy parenting if you have work travel commitments or indeed, just planning a little time away.

I can step in as a temporary nanny should your own Nanny call in sick, or if they are on Annual Leave or Maternity Leave.

I am also open to a part time employed position as Nanny, working 1, 2 or 3 days a week.

Feel free to keep my name and number on your fridge for those tricky times! I can be a sort of extension to your family support network!!

Doubling up on my wife's review here as we're so grateful to have Sian as one of the people that can come and look after our girls. Our wee ones are always thrilled to hear Sian's coming to stay, and love the time they spend with her. Sian has been super reliable and quick to respond to our messages about dates, always comes with things for the kids to do, and exudes friendliness and warmth. I don't know what we'd do without her help!

Thank you Joe for this great review. It’s always a pleasure to spend time with your girls and I’m very happy to be able to help.
Note to self…add ‘Superhero’ to my CV! 🤣

Unfortunately, we didn't get to use Sian as our nanny, as our plans changed. However, in the run-up to her taking care of our little one, Sian was highly responsive and open to our required hours. We felt excited to meet her and comfortable with her looking after our daughter.

Thank you for your comments, please feel free to get back in touch if I can be of help in the future, Sian

Sian is highly professional and clearly very experienced yet personable at the same time and seems to know exactly what our family needs and what we wanted from an ad hoc baby sitter. She works magic getting our children to bed and they obviously love her and feel comfortable with her. I feel extremely confident and reassured leaving them with her and she consistently provides detailed updates if that’s what you need. The house is always spotless when she’s been and she even looks after our needy cat too! We can’t recommend her enough and look forward to using her as our baby sitter for as long as she’ll have us!
