My Summary

My Experience

After teaching since 2009, I recently left this year to spend more time with my two year old son and currently manage a nursery. This extensive background means I bring a unique blend of professional teaching expertise and hands-on childcare experience, cultivated over nearly two decades in both classroom and home environments. I'm available for short-term opportunities this summer, and from late September, I'll be seeking more long-term roles.

Why Choose Me?

Finding the right person to care for your children is one of the most important decisions a parent can make. You're not just looking for a caregiver, you're looking for someone who can truly enrich their lives.

With my unique blend of nearly 20 years of teaching experience and extensive childcare expertise, I offer exactly that – and more.

My background as a qualified teacher means I bring a deep understanding of child development, learning styles, and effective educational strategies. This isn't just about supervising playtime, it's about creating stimulating environments, supporting academic growth, and fostering a genuine love of learning.

Coupled with my Enhanced DBS check, you can have complete peace of mind knowing your children are in safe, professional, and capable hands.

I'm incredibly passionate about helping children thrive, and as a mother to a toddler myself, I understand the joys and challenges of family life.



With nearly 20 years as a qualified teacher, I have extensive experience supporting children with diverse Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). I'm adept at creating tailored learning approaches, providing emotional support, and collaborating with families and professionals to help every child thrive and reach their full potential.

Availability
I'm very flexible over the summer months, ready to help with your childcare needs. As we move towards September/October, I'm actively seeking more long-term positions where I can become a consistent and valued part of a family's life.

I believe in clear communication and transparent arrangements.


I am happy to discuss your family's specific needs and how my unique skills and extensive experience can best support your children.

As a single mother, I'm keen to find a role where, if suitable for your family, my son could occasionally join me. He currently attends nursery three days a week and will be transitioning to full time preschool next year, so this can be flexible and discussed to ensure it perfectly aligns with your family's needs.
