About Me
My current availability -
I’m currently looking for a part-time Nanny share/Mother’s Help role, to work alongside my current employment. The availability would be for 2 days( Tuesday and Wednesday)from the start of February. I am also happy for the occasional babysitting on the weekend and overnight care
I’m hoping to support a small, friendly household where most of the help needed is with day-to-day tasks around the home, with occasional childcare when you need an extra pair of hands. My goal is simply to make your life easier — to take pressure off your shoulders so your home feels calmer, more organised, and things run smoothly.
If this sounds like what you need, I’d love to hear from you and see if we’re a good match.

Hello, my name is Sophie and I am 25 years old.
I started my childcare career at a forest school; this has shaped me into the practitioner I am today, and I am very passionate about this style of learning.
I love to be outside, getting stuck into activities while, getting covered in the mud alongside the children and learning through fun and engaging activities.
I am a true believer that there is no inappropriate weather!
I will often be seen jumping in muddy puddles, dancing in the rain, and playing in the snow alongside the children I care for.
My unique approach has been developed by my many years working in outdoor settings and as a forest school lead myself.
I encourage using forest school tools, making fires and risk taking; allowing children to create their own magical experiences.
I have experience working for multiple children a day, while supporting each of their individual needs and supporting a healthy lifestyle.
I have an exceptional understanding of safeguarding and how to ensure I'm providing a safe service from my experience as a deputy manager.
I have also worked as a carer for adults, where we provided specialist care and support for individuals with learning disabilities and complex needs, which may have included challenging behaviours. Working at a residential care home I developed fundamental skills and attributes that have ensured a high level of care and understanding for supporting others with learning disabilities.
My Experience
I have worked in childcare for 9 years and hold a Level 3 EYFS qualification. I am passionate about supporting children’s development through hands-on, outdoor, real-life experiences, drawing on my Forest School knowledge to help each child reach their full potential.
I have previously worked as a Deputy Manager in a nursery setting that offered children access to 15 acres of land and animals, giving me valuable experience in outdoor learning environments and large-scale provision.
My training includes being on the DBS Update Service, Paediatric First Aid, Level 3 Safeguarding, Level 2 Food Hygiene, and Incisive Communication Universal Training for Early Years Practitioners.
Having worked across a range of settings and services, I have developed a strong, varied skill set and a deep understanding of high-quality childcare practitioner
