My Summary

My Experience

Experienced and nurturing childcare professional with over 12 years of hands-on experience supporting children from birth to 16 years. My background includes private nannying, nursery settings, and early years activity groups. I provide age-appropriate care tailored to each child and family, with a strong focus on emotional wellbeing, development, and routine.

I build long-term, trusting relationships with children and parents alike and adapt easily to different household dynamics. I specialise in supporting early years development through play, as well as managing school-aged routines including homework, meal prep, and activity drop-offs. Currently offering part-time nanny care alongside my work in hairdressing.
