My Summary
About Me
**Self-employed Ofsted registered nanny.**
Hi, I’m Tish and I have been looking after children for as long as I can remember. From toddlers and babies to children of all ages, it has been my joy and delight to look after them.
This is why I have decided to make it official by studying child care. Now I can look after children with full confidence in knowing that I have acquired the knowledge and training needed to deliver care to them in the most professional and skilful manner.
I love being a Nanny, especially spending time with children, planning fun activities with them throughout the day and getting to know them as individuals. The fun things they say and do just make me laugh!
My Experience
Over the years, I have gained wonderful experience as a nanny, caring for children through daily routines like babysitting, school runs, after-school activities, and playgroups. Beyond the basics, I love creating engaging activities to support each child's growth. I regularly design fun development games like using flashcards, making play dough, hosting cozy story times, and guiding tummy time, alongside various sensory activities to gently stimulate their senses. I also believe in the joy of exploring the outdoors, so I plan regular walks where we can connect with nature, pointing out and naming different objects, animals, and insects along the way.
Through positive praise and creative role-playing, I love encouraging independence and nurturing good manners in children. I guide them in practicing everyday courtesies like saying 'please' and 'thank you,' listening gently without interrupting, learning the joy of sharing, and always showing kindness to others.
I am very dependable and have completed a Paediatric First Aid course, Early Years Care Level 3 course and I have a TQUK Level 2 Certificate in Understanding Autism (RQF).

Tish has been looking after our son since he was just 9 months old, and over that time she has become someone he absolutely adores and genuinely looks forward to spending time with.
One of the things we appreciate most about Tish is the effort she puts into keeping him engaged. She’s always finding different things for them to do together, whether it’s reading, sensory play, arts and crafts, painting, nature walks or taking him out on outings and little adventures. She makes their time together fun while also encouraging him to learn, explore and try new things.
She really has a way with him and seems to understand how to handle all the different moods and challenges that come with a growing child. From calmly managing tantrums to getting him to listen and follow instructions, she knows how to approach him in a way that works. She’s patient and caring while still being able to set boundaries, and he responds incredibly well to her.
Having someone I can completely trust with my son has also made such a difference to me. When he is with Tish, I can focus on work without worrying because I know he is safe, happy, well cared for and having a lovely time.
Tish is also just a genuinely approachable and easy person to talk to. Even as an adult, I find her very easy to communicate with, and I’ve always felt comfortable discussing anything with her. That openness and ease of communication has been really valuable to us as parents.
It has been lovely watching the bond she and our son have developed since he was a baby. Knowing that he is with someone he loves spending time with, and who genuinely puts so much care, thought and energy into him, gives us enormous peace of mind. We feel very fortunate to have Tish in his life and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to another family.

Tish provided exceptional care for my 5-week-old baby, showcasing a truly caring and gentle approach. I felt completely at ease entrusting her with my little one, which was a huge relief given I had no family support nearby. Her punctuality and friendly demeanor added to my confidence in her abilities. Her kindness and professionalism were exactly what I needed during a challenging time, and I'm grateful for the support she provided. I highly recommend her.

Tish is a wonderful nanny and everything we hoped for. My daughter liked her from the moment they met, all down to her warm, friendly manner and the creative and imaginative way she leads their play. Really good at communicating with me in general and I like that she sends me an update when they are out and about so I always feel reassured and comfortable. Would highly recommend her to other mums!
