My Summary
About Me
Hi :) I am a professional, trustworthy, caring, friendly and experienced babysitter and registered childminder with a Bachelors Degree in Education,DBS check & first aid certified. I have created a safe,learning-rich environment for children to have fun,feel comfortable,and well cared for while learning new skills and developing their understanding of the world.
My Experience
I have been an Ofsted registered childminder for 4 years, taught as a teacher for 5 years in Mainstream school and 1 year in SEND (class teacher in SLD and MLD class). I have been a school run driver, aupair, and nanny in South Africa, looked after my 7 younger siblings (ages ranging from newborn to teenager), and I have 3 of my own children.
I have a love for children and passion for helping them develop and learn whilst exploring and having fun, especially outdoors.
I set up play areas, Arts and crafts tables, and encourage and value learning through play. I also do movement and action songs, and the children get to explore musical instruments. There is something different every time depending on your child's age, developmental levels, and interests.
I offer home-based care in a safe, comfortable, and learning-rich environment in Stoughton during the week
Weekday evenings and weekends I am available for babysitting at the child's home
Best wishes

My son has been going to Monique for a few months now, and he absolutely loves it! Even though he only goes once a week, he gets excited the moment we tell him he’s going to see her. Monique is caring, attentive, and treats him like family. She always keeps me updated on what he eats, plays, or learns, which I really appreciate. Her children are also so kind and often read to my son, which he enjoys a lot. We feel very lucky to have found her!

Monique is the best! She has contributed a lot to my child’s development. From saying a few words, to now saying full sentences. My child’s vocabulary has grown immensely even after just a few month. He has really been enjoying his time with Monique and all the other kids.
Highly recommended 💕

Monique has been looking after our daughter for 2 days a week, she absolutely loves Monique, as do we. She is so sweet, kind and caring. Our daughter has progressed so much since being with her, with counting, puzzles, colours and her speech. I couldn’t recommend Monique more xx
