My Summary
About Me
I am an Ofsted-approved agency childminder in Kentish Town/Camden area, recently graded “Outstanding”
I'm also providing some babysitting during my free time/weekends. I’m originally from Hong Kong— so I can speak both English and Cantonese—but I moved to England aged 2. I lived and worked in several countries, one of them is Dubai where I was a Cabin Crew with Emirates. I have a pet cat called Onyx, he is very affectionate and gentle.
I care for a maximum of 3 under 5s at any one time, and use my local green spaces as a learning environment every day. I’m Forest Education trained so I help children to learn and develop (no matter how little!) using the great outdoors. As all the children are preschool age, they can form strong friendships and support one another to reach their next milestone.
I take the children to local parks, stay and play, library, city farms and organise trips to the museums such as British Museum/Postal Museum.
I’ve also undertaken training in safe sleep and the EYFS curriculum. I make
home-cooked meals everyday (no added sugar or salt) and provide a caring, home-from-home environment for little ones. I’m truly passionate about helping children grow and flourish.
My Experience
I’ve been registered as a childminder for 3 years and I’ve done lots of babysitting, particularly for my niece and nephews, who I love spending time with! I'm also Forest Education trained.

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Mandy. She is everything you could hope for in someone caring for your child—warm, conscious, patient, calm, and exceptionally organised. From the very beginning, she created a nurturing environment where our child felt safe, supported, and truly seen.
Her calm and steady presence brings a sense of peace to the day, and her thoughtful, attentive approach means our child is met with kindness and understanding. We’ve been continually impressed by how she balances gentle guidance with clear boundaries, all while encouraging independence and emotional development.
It’s clear she puts so much love and intention into everything she does—from daily routines to creative play, meals, and communication with parents. Our child eats well, sleeps well and often comes home with new words. Knowing our child is in such capable and compassionate hands has been an enormous comfort to us.
We couldn’t recommend Mandy more highly—she is a true gem!

We've had our son with Mandy for a little over a year now and he's had a great time and loves the outings they have in the parks but also activities like gym and especially reading time at hers.
She cooks wonderful, healthy meals and is very patient and great at handling different kids. The updates and pictures are a joy to receive.

Our daughter has been cared for by Mandy for a year and a half now, and we couldn't be happier. My daughter started with Mandy as a baby who could only just crawl, and now she's a potty trained, running, chatty toddler – Mandy has been brilliant throughout, and our daughter loves her.
They go out almost every day, most often to the park/playground (with variety as to which one) but also to Stay & Plays, the library, and some other trips. She cooks varied, healthy food. She does books, songs, targeted playing to learn skills – and lots of free play, too. Naps have always been really well-handled (and of course my child naps better with Mandy than at home!). Mandy meets all the children where they are and understands what they need. Mandy is excellent at supporting babies learning crucial skills (walking, talking, self-feeding) and toddlers starting to understand bigger concepts, social skills and behaviour (including inevitable pushing against boundaries!).
Mandy is calm, patient, and communicative, so we feel confident that our daughter's in great care and that we're across any potential issues, whether behavioural or health-related. And the daily updates are always the highlight of my day.
