My Summary
About Me
Experienced primary school teacher now available again for tutoring, nannying and babysitting!
After 5 years of classroom teaching, I am excited to be back on childcare.co.uk to offer my tutoring and nannying services.
TUTORING
I have extensive experience teaching children from Reception-Year 6 in all primary subjects including reading, writing, phonics, maths and science, as well as a proficient knowledge of the National Curriculum and assessments such as SATs and the phonics screening check.
I am able to tailor my teaching approach to suit different age ranges, learning styles and needs, and have lots of experience supporting children with SEN, including those with ASD, ADHD, DLD and dyslexia.
I currently have availability to tutor children aged 3-11 in any primary subject. I have specialist SoundsWrite phonics training to support children with reading and writing, as well as a wealth of experience of using mastery approaches to teach maths. I can help with everything from writing, to science, to history!
I am also able to offer tutoring for certain secondary and GCSE subjects if required.
As a tutor, I can create a bespoke curriculum to best support your child’s learning and help them to reach their targets. I am also happy to support with homework or tasks set by schools.
NANNYING/BABYSITTING
Before completing my teacher training, I worked for many years as a nanny and babysitter, caring for children from 6 months-16 years old, including those with SEN. I love finding outdoor activities for children to enjoy, reading stories and encouraging learning through play.
As a babysitter/ nanny I am also happy to clean, cook, help with homework and put the children to bed. I am patient, responsible and creative, which are values that I have shown through my work as a teacher.
I am always happy to take children to clubs/activities or to museums/parks/day trips and currently have availability for school pick ups.
My Experience
I am a qualified primary school teacher! In recent years, I have been teaching Year 2, Year 3 and Year 6. I love working with children and seeing them make fantastic progress, but I’m currently looking to gain greater work/life flexibility so have decided to step out of the classroom for now. I am excited to use my knowledge and skills to continue supporting children in different contexts!
I also have experience working as a private online tutor during lockdowns where I supported children with accessing and completing their home learning. I used virtual games to keep these sessions engaging and fun!
I have also worked as a tutor at a learning centre, helping children aged 3-16 with their English and Maths. I thoroughly enjoyed this role, getting to know the members as individuals and seeing their confidence grow!
My Qualifications
I have Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
I hold a full enhanced DBS certificate and have previously completed paediatric first aid training.
I have a First-class degree in Primary Education and achieved A levels in Maths, Biology and Psychology. I am happy to tutor children in various subjects as I received A-A* in 10 GCSEs.
My Availability
I currently have availability for regular part-time tutoring, nannying and ad-hoc babysitting. I have some availability for school-pick ups. Please message if you have any questions!

We have had Bethany sit our 8 and 11 year olds a few times now and intend to keep using her. She is punctual, polite and friendly and while we have not used her for tutoring she strikes me as an intelligent and conscientious person....I am sure she has a bright future in the teaching profession. She has the kids in bed on time with little fuss and they really like her being there. As the title suggests the kids are happy so I am too. Thanks Bethany, I'll be in touch soon

My daughter (now 15 months) adores Bethany. She was a temporary nanny for us over the summer holiday, 2-3 days a week, for 2 months. We hope she'll come back to babysit whenever she can!
Bethany is always kind, calm, polite, punctual (to the minute), accommodating and responsible, and most importantly my daughter loves her. She is unflappable; in her two months with us, I’ve never seen her at all stressed about anything!
She’s very good at communicating about logistics, as well as keeping me in the loop about what she and my daughter have done during the day (sending me photos and videos of them at the farm, or at play groups, etc.). She’s proactive about researching activities and fun places to go with my daughter. She’s cooked carefully for my daughter whenever I’ve asked, and has always been very patient with feeding, even during long, fussy dinners.
Most importantly, Bethany got on incredibly well with my daughter right from the beginning. She’s very kind, friendly and affectionate with her, and quickly built up a great rapport. My daughter was going through separation anxiety at the beginning of Bethany’s time with us, and Bethany dealt with it all very sensitively and calmly.

Bethany is a superb babysitter for our 1.5 year old son! As we are working full time, this is the only time we get to go out, and knowing he is in hood hands is a ease. Now, I really want to point out that the times Bethany is taking care of our son, he for instance eats his whole dinner and dessert, he also sleeps through the whole night, which is a really big plus. We can really tell that our son is enjoying Bethany’s company. She is a very sweet and calm lady. We will definitively be using her many times in the future, and also I do recommend her to other parents!

Bethany was punctual, polite, friendly and calm. She looked after our 3 kids (7,3,2 years) brilliantly.
I would definitely ask her to babysit again.
Thanks, Bethany

All 3 children warmed to Bethany. My children age from 4 to 12 so she coped well with their differing levels of dependence. They liked her, we liked her and we'd definitely book her again.
