My Summary
About Me
Qualified childcare practitioner and Forest School Leader. Nurturing, calm, and approachable, with diverse child care experience. I love being outdoors and very much enjoy tending to my garden, going for walks along the beach, exploring nature reserves and the woods and walking my dog. I'm adventurous and enjoy sports such as, swimming, cycling and dancing. I love music and singing, I play an acoustic guitar and ukulele whilst also enjoying percussion, such as bongos, steel tongue drum, and kalimba. I'm very creative and enjoy making things, I also enjoy being silly with children and being on their level. I am however, assertive, fair and firm when need be.
I'm on the UPDATE SERVICE request more info to access this.
My Experience
I have been a qualified childcare practitioner and Forest School Leader for the past 7 years, with experience in between babysitting and being "mother's help". I've worked at two "Forest School" nurseries and I set up and managed a Forest School, where we had under 5's during the week and 2-10 year olds in the holiday's. At the weekends we would open to the public for various sessions. Prior to being qualified, I worked for Haven Holiday’s as a Lifeguard, Swim Teacher and Park Ranger for 7 years. I've also had experience working with families at my local children's centre.
I follow the forest school ethos of child centred learning, being outside and in touch with the natural world, using natural resources and instilling confidence and resilience in the children in my care. I also know basic Makaton and like to use it as often as possible, especially when singing.

If you choose Molly to care for your child, you have absolutely struck gold, she is one in a million.
Molly cared for my two year old girl and my 18 month old son for just under a year at our home. Molly’s years of experience really shone through in the nurture and care she provided to my children; from daily outings, curiosity activities and even creating the children their own personal scrap book of all their adventures together. My children would always have a continuous smile on their face and ask when Molly would be back to see them again.
Molly is a trustworthy, honest, kind and caring individual. She has a heart of gold and only ever wants the best for children.
