About Me

I’m an experienced, Ofsted Registered nanny available across Derbyshire. I offer steady, reliable support for families who want someone sensible, organised and able to get on with the day without fuss. I’m confident caring for children from babies to school age and can manage routines, school runs, simple meals, homework and keeping things tidy.

I hold a Level 3 childcare qualification, Paediatric First Aid, an Enhanced DBS and full insurance. I also speak Italian and Spanish and can introduce light language learning if families would like it.

My approach is calm, practical and child?focused. I aim to keep children safe, settled and happy, while giving parents peace of mind and a smoother day. I’m punctual, trustworthy and able to take initiative from the start.

Sara helped to look after my daughter couple of times, she is a lovely woman that my daughter enjoys to be with.
She does some activities while she is looking after my daughter, which I really appreciate that she is not just sitting around.
I highly recommend her!

Sara is a bit unexperienced with younger children but our baby of 10 mos old loves Sara anyway. They are always so quiet and occupied together, I see that Sara can find ways with a baby of any age. And she is always very punctual.
