My Summary
About Me
I have lots of experience working in Nursery settings with children under 5s, including infants, as well as privately as a Nanny and Babysitter. I am DBS checked, and hold a certificate in Level 3 Paediatric First Aid, Safeguarding and several other courses including Play Therapy. I always keep myself up to date on techniques, education, safe sleep practices, new weaning information etc. I have a car and two child-safe car seats so I am available for school runs and/or outdoor activities. I’m a very gentle, kind person who loves working with children and tailoring fun activities to meet their interest and development.
My Experience
I have experience as a Nursery Practitioner where I was responsible for my key group of under 2s. I also have a lot of babysitting experience, including overnight and long distance, as well as experience in nanny roles involving regular school runs, meal prep, bedtime routines and housekeeping.

I've used Sarah many times as a babysitter for my 3 & 5yo boys & have done since they were babies. She has also picked them up from school, had them overnight & taken them out on fun adventures! I trust Sarah wholeheartedly & as they have allergies/epipens it was important I find someone I really trust. My sons adore Sarah & are excited every time she is coming to care for them. Sarah has always followed any instructions I have left too eg for bedtime routines & is always very gentle, caring & patient with my children. I cannot recommend Sarah enough!!
