About Me
Hi,
I’m kind and patient with good boundaries offering babysitting or nannying.
Book regular sessions or as needed.
Other hours may available upon request, just ask.
We enjoy a wide range of family friendly outings as I believe children learn a lot from meeting a wide range of people & from visiting various places.
Such as petting farms, play-parks, soft play, crazy golf, swimming pool, museums, forest walks, National trust walks.
I have membership to lots of things which saves you money!
I personally enjoy learning about lots of different things and helping to simplify information in a way that a child can grasp.
Obviously there comes a time when the children surpass my knowledge lol but nice while it lasts!
My Experience
I have 4 children & 3 grandchildren.
I have been a homemaker, a home helper, a home educator for my own children, a pet owner, a carer, previously a registered childcarer, previously a registered care assistant for the elderly & disabled experienced in the community & in a care home, baby massage instructor, a massage therapist for adults, a private house keeper, a private parents helper, previously sold baked goods at a market stall & as a homemaker I am a reasonably good cook.
Experience with ASD, T1 diabetes & gluten & dairy intolerance diets, terminal illness & chronic illness.
Having your child cared for in your home is an excellent way to ensure their needs are met to your standard.

Michele is a great caregiver for my two children. She looks after them twice a week after school, provides school pick up. They're often out at the park or enjoying a variety of activities inside if the weather isn't great. They don't want her to leave at the end of the day.
Her communication is always very good, plenty of updates and photos throughout the afternoon, and about upcoming days.

Thank-you very much!
Your boys were so much fun and a credit to you, good job raising great boys.
Michelle has looked after my daughter a couple of times, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. She takes her on lovely days out with picnics and always makes it fun and memorable. My daughter is always excited to tell me about her day afterward and feels super comfortable around Michelle, which means so much to me as a parent. I also really appreciate the photos and updates Michelle sends throughout the day—it gives me peace of mind knowing she’s happy and safe. Michelle is caring, reliable, and truly wonderful with children. I would highly recommend her to any parent looking for a trustworthy babysitter.

Thank-you very much for the wonderful review! Your daughter is a joy to babysit and a real credit to your great parenting. See you again soon.
Been let down by a few other babysitters and gave Michelle a message as a last effort to have someone reliable and trustworthy on hand. She made me feel at ease immediately and was very professional, totally fits the bill. Cannot wait to have her round again, feel like I have a little piece of my own life back and no longer stress about arranging reliable childcare when needed. So Thank you Michelle!!! 🥰

Thankyou so much for your kind review!
She is a lovely fun blessing to us all.
Michele is a wonderful childminder, she is highly professional, conscientious and caring. I have found that children love her genlte, playful nature. Michele is very kind, and well experienced with children of all ages and I know my children are always in safe hands when she minds them. I am very lucky to have found Michele to look after my children when I need her to, she is very flexible and always tries her best to accommodate our needs.

Thankyou for this heartwarming review!
The boys are lovely friendly active children, full of giggles! Such fun to care for. Looking forward to more fun times ahead.
Michele has been minding my child for more than a year now. We’ve had a very positive experience with her. My child loves going to her and enjoys all the activities Michele plans. Michele sends us pictures during childminding sessions of the child getting along so well and happy. She is very friendly,organised and follows a child-centered approach.She lets us know via text or call of she’s running late to bring back the child, which is very rare. She is very much reliable. She is flexible with timings and happy to mind at short notice when suits.I strongly reccommend Michele to anyone who is looking for a childminder whom you can trust.

Thankyou very much for your lovely review!
It has been a pleasure to watch your daughter grow into the beautiful little person she is now! Incredible how much she has grown & learned this past year, she is a real credit to you.
Michelle is good with children my two girls enjoyed being with her playing, going on trips ect. However she has been unreliable and unprofessional with regards to lifting them from playgroup and school. Running late due to having too many young children to cope with, not turning up causing the child anxiety, forgetting the time, sleeping in, being in a incident and not contacting us at all until after 9pm. This caused our family stress whenever we were both in work.

Felt so fortunate to have found such an incredible babysitter for my little one! Not only is she always punctual and reliable, but she truly cares about the child's well-being. Her nurturing nature and genuine love for kids shines through.
She goes above and beyond to create a safe and engaging environment, wether it is trips to a park, getting books or getting the children to play together, Michele has kept my child entertained and stimulated. I can tell that she genuinely enjoys spending time with little ones, and that brings so much peace of mind.
She's well-prepared and knowledgeable about child safety, and I appreciate how she takes the time to communicate and sends updates.
