About Me

I’ve worked with children for nearly 20 years as a nursery nurse, private nanny, babysitter, and mother’s help. In 2024, I welcomed my own little boy into the world.

I’m now looking for part-time or casual work that fits around him. I’m reliable, creative, and very much a big kid at heart. A desk-based job really isn’t for me—I thrive when I’m active, especially outdoors, and enjoy being hands-on and engaged. I also love putting my hand to anything creative and giving it a go, whether that’s painting, sewing, baking, or making things.

My Experience

I hold a Level 3 Diploma in Childcare and have over 15 years’ experience working with children across a variety of settings, including seven years in a nursery and several long-term nanny and mother’s help roles. I have experience with children of all ages and particularly enjoy building strong, trusting relationships where children and families feel comfortable, safe, and able to be themselves.

Experience

Nursery Practitioner – 7 years
Children aged 3 months–5 years

Nanny – 6 years (May 2016 – September 2022)
Children aged 5 and 7 (at start of role)

Mother’s Help (part-time/casual) – 3 years (January 2016 – 2019)
Children aged 18 months, 3 years, and 5 years

Nanny – 1 year (September 2022 – August 2023)
Child aged 2 years

Nanny – 5 months (September 2023 – February 2024)
Children aged 5, 7, and 9 years

Since having my baby in April 2024, I have been working on a very part-time and informal basis, supporting a family within a home environment. This has included caring for two children (aged 10–13), who are autistic, which has given me further experience of supporting neurodivergent children in a calm, everyday setting.

Below are the latest reviews for Rachael. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk members and not of Childcare.co.uk. Parents must carry out their own checks and references on childcare providers to ensure that they are completely happy before enaging in the use of their services.

Rachael is incredibly warm and nurturing with my child, treating her kindly and encouraging manners and good behaviour. She plans a wide range of age-appropriate activities for my child that align with the EYFS standards. She prepares nutritious food that my child enjoys. Rachael has lots of energy, so will happily run around the park with my toddler, or take her out and about to local baby groups, toddler-friendly events ..etc. Her experience with weaning, potty training, and toddler development has been, and continues to be, invaluable in helping my child develop. She quickly responds to any queries I might have, and takes lovely pictures of what my little one has been up to that day. I wholeheartedly recommend her.
