About Me

I'm a 31 year old professional violinist and former SEN teacher with over 8 years of experience working with children as a nanny, babysitter and teacher (ages 0-16). I have just moved to York with my long term partner and, as my job as a musician allows me a lot of free time, I would love to lend a hand as an ad hoc babysitter!

I am a psychology graduate with a strong interest in natural health which lead me to become an accredited natural physician in 2025. During my studies and travels I have always worked with children, whether that be in schools or as a babysitter. For the past 2 years I have been pursuing a career as a violinist which I am really enjoying, however I miss working with children and therefore am looking to supplement my job with babysitting!

My hobbies and passions include music, reading, crafting and nutrition.

If you think I would be a good fit with your family feel free to give me a message and we can arrange a class or an in person meeting.

My Experience

I began my career with kids caring for a 19 year old boy with cerebral palsy. I would look after him on long shifts, making sure he is healthy, happy and cared for.
I then became a nanny in Australia and continued this when I returned to England. I was a regular babysitter for many years looking after kids aged between 0-12. My responsibilities included taking them to and from school, cooking for them, putting them to bed, playing and doing work around the house.
I then moved to Bristol where I became a learning assistant in SEN schools for 3 years. My job was to circulate through classrooms of children between 3-16 with varying needs, helping them to engage with the lessons, do their work, enjoy sensory time, learn music and play whilst providing personal care.
I have a lot of experience working with special needs children, I ran classes in Sri Lanka for 3 months for children who have autism and down syndrome where we would play, colour, sing, dance and learn together. It was incredibly rewarding!
Most recently I was working in Spain as an English language teacher, teaching kids between 4-13 in an after school club.
I have also been a part of a program that provides education to children who were asked to leave school in order to help them become employed. This was challenging but I feel really helped me develop communication skills, boundaries and teaching skills.

My Availability

My job allows me to be flexible however my schedule is constantly changing due to wedding bookings and events, so ad hoc suits me a lot.
