Hello Parents!
My name is Deborah,
I possess a genuine enthusiasm for looking after children in addition to aiding their development and watching them thrive.
Equipped with knowledge that focuses on developmental studies, I continue to learn about and keep updated with the key stages and care of children.
Gifted with empathy, compassion and the ability to develop and maintain a positive rapport with children and parents alike, I encourage children to explore their talents and interests through various activities as well as providing additional support for families.
Strong communication and listening skills are amongst those I have acquired. Additional skills include a high level of emotional intelligence. I possess excellent organisational skills plus the ability to use initiative.
I am confident when faced with the opportunity to meet and liaise with new people and can adapt to various environments with ease.
I have completed a full, up to date DBS check and am fully First Aid trained.
I have also worked as a tutor and mentor for teenagers and young adults. Responsibilities included providing emotional support and pastoral care for students that exhibited challenging behaviour.
Hobbies include writing , baking and listening to music. I am an avid reader, and am interested in innovative ways to provide children with a safe, edifying and warm environment , giving them the opportunity to look forward to a healthy and fulfilling future no matter what labels or limitations have been attached to them.
All in all, I am eager to learn and develop new skills as well as strengthening existing ones. I hope my passion transcends within this role.
I look forward to hearing from you!
My Experience
I have years worth of experience as a babysitter, looking after various ages, ranging from 3 days old to 12 years old in addition to multiple children. I have experience of working with high profile clients, ensuring discretion and confidentiality.
Through various roles as a private nanny, I have taken sole charge of managing the morning routine, school drop off, school pick up and food preparation, plus facilitating additional activities.
Working closely with children, teenagers and young adults for an extended period of time has equipped me the knowledge and confidence to demonstrate basic understanding of child development and learning in addition to the ability to relate well to children and adults.
My most recent role (July 2024) includes working as a Night Nanny for a newborn, with a high profile client. I took sole charge of the night time routine which consists of feeding, changing, providing comfort and general care, allowing for mother to rest and recover.
Due to my former role as a Learning Support Assistant (SEP 2020), taking place in a school setting, I have developed a general understanding of the National Curriculum and other basic learning programmes.
From September- December 2018, I took on the full time role of Nanny, with sole charge of managing the morning routine, school drop off, school pick up, food preparation, plus additional activities.
I also have experience in childcare, as an Early Years Support Worker, working in a nursery from March 2018. I assisted with the care of children from 0-4 years.
This included the supervision of activities, such as messy play, arts & crafts, cooking, reading and outdoor/physical pursuits and the planning ,observation and record keeping that inform parents and carers about their child’s day. Additional responsibilities included preparing and serving suitable meals, snacks and drinks as well as teaching general life skills, such as basic hygiene and manners.
Over the summer of 2017, I undertook two different stints in regards to childcare. The first required looking after two children, giving their parents the option to enjoy an occasional evening out. The second involved working closely with a family, engaging with their two children whilst their parents completed busy schedules at work. Responsibilities included taking the children to school in addition to picking them up at the end of the day, preparing their dinner, and helping with homework in addition to other activities.
I have had extensive experience with babies, ranging from personal to professional. Duties include nappy changes, feeding both milk and solids, facilitating sleep routine and general interaction.
The additional benefit of studying a psychology degree, where developmental study was heavily involved has helped greatly.
I look forward to meeting you and your families !

I was visiting in London for one night with my two year-old and needed someone trustworthy and adaptable to look after her so I could catch up over dinner with a friend I hadn't seen before my child was born. I am a single mum, so opportunities to meet friends are rare when you don't family around to mind your little one!
Deborah was good communicating prior to coming to us and throughout the job. She arrived in good time and was very receptive to instructions. She was confident asking clarification questions, and most important of all, she was great with my child: talking to her, accommodating for her needs, and putting her first. I recommend Deborah for babysitting because she is really good at communicating, reliable, adaptable, flexible, and able to quickly understand the needs of a little one.

Deborah made herself available on short notice and dove in at the deep end straight away by looking after our 8 months old son during our Christmas Party. She was great with our baby, very punctual, precise and just a pleasure to be around. We have since then used Deborah’s services again and will be doing so in the future. We feel very lucky to have her in our neighbourhood and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone!

Deborah is a lovely person and really helped us with looking after our two daughters. She usually arrives well before the given time. She gave us regular updates with messages, calls and photos, which made us comfortable.
She was very patient with our kids and she built a good relationship with them. My kids were comfortable with her too.
Specifically help her given to us at a very short notice shows her dedication to work. We highly recommend and will continue to use Deborah's excellent service.
