My Summary
About Me
Hi, I’m Sophie! I’m a qualified primary school teacher with QTS and experience teaching across Early Years, KS1 and KS2, including Nursery and Reception. I also have several years of private babysitting experience and a strong understanding of child development, learning and safeguarding.
I’m now a mum to a baby boy and am looking for a warm, welcoming family who would be happy for him to accompany me while I nanny. I offer nurturing, attentive care with lots of play, outdoor activities, stories, music and age-appropriate learning. I’m also available for private primary tutoring and piano lessons.
I’m reliable, caring and passionate about creating a calm, happy environment where children feel safe and supported.
My Experience
I am a qualified Primary School Teacher with QTS and experience teaching children across Early Years, KS1 and KS2, including Nursery and Reception. Alongside teaching, I have several years of private babysitting experience, caring for children from newborns upwards.

I am now a mum myself to a baby boy, giving me additional hands-on experience of caring for a young baby. I also have a musical background and have taught private piano lessons to children.
I am currently looking for nannying, babysitting, private tutoring and piano teaching opportunities.
