My Summary
About Me
A confident, compassionate and creative nanny / babysitter and tutor, with 120hr TEFL certification. Previous teaching experience as a passionate poetry and art teacher at Zeal Hayne School, and an English tutor to numerous students with MyTutor.
Previous experience in babysitting, where I create a nurturing, engaging environment where children feel confident and inspired—whether that's through storytelling, creative play, or educational activities.
In my own time, I enjoy crafting, writing, reading and cooking, activities I often incorporate into my childcare approach. I’m responsible, caring, and always aim to make every child feel safe, heard, and happy.
I’m happy to work weekdays and weekends. I understand how busy family life can be, and I’m here to help support your needs with flexibility and care.
My Experience
I’ve built up a wide range of childcare and teaching experience over the years. I’ve babysat young children for 5+ years, as well as regularly caring for younger family members. I hold a TEFL qualification and have taught English abroad in Nepal, which was an incredibly rewarding experience.
As part of my creative background, I’ve also taught poetry workshops to secondary school pupils and led art sessions for a group of children with special educational needs, something I found especially meaningful. These experiences have helped me develop a patient, creative, and adaptable approach to working with children of all ages and abilities.
