About Me

I am currently work as a NHS trainee psychologist whilst undergoing my doctorate training in counselling psychology. I also work part- time in Cancer hospital.

I have availability every evening from 5:30pm to babysit/nanny.
I am open to discussing regular, agreed hours, but more so looking for ad hoc basis babysitting roles.

Before this current role, I worked in the rehabilitation of offenders, and prior, as a mental health and wellbeing pastoral tutor in a college working with 16-19 year olds.

I have also worked for two years in a nursery school (ages 2-5) specifically as the allocated Key worker for SEN and trained as an Applied Behavioural Analysis therapist for children aged 2-12 with Autsim.

I love children and supporting families who could do with an extra pair of hands.

I am fun, friendly and approachable, with a particular antenna for emotional intelligence. My own experiences, along with my degrees in psychology have provided me with a good understanding of mental health issues and child development. Modules in developmental psychology and health psychology in particular have given me insight into positive approaches to childcare.

Additionally, I have always been good in an emergency, I assess situations quickly, trust in my initiative and act in times of need. I face situations head on and step up in a crisis situation.

In my spare time, I love to spend time with family and friends, get involved in recreational and competitive performing arts, and outdoor activities, such as walking, horse riding and skiing. I have extensive training in singing and acting and attended stage schools for 11 years.

I am a people-person who is hard-working and will go the extra mile to ensure the health, safety and happiness of your family.
