My Summary
About Me
Live out Nanny and baby sitter, helping to nurture your precious children.
My Experience
I’ve worked in a childcare settings for the last 6 years I’ve looked after babies from 6 months up to 8 years but I have my own children so have experience of new borns and teenagers too. Ive spent a lot of time in my most recent employment, teaching pre school children , who are leaving above the expected range for their age, to go to reception in September. Whilst working here, I progressed from assistant to Deputy Manager. I moved to a nursery closer to home but now realise I prefer to nanny/ babysit. I’ve got my paediatric first aid, safe guarding level 3, food hygiene level 2, learning through play, child protection.
I’m not Ofsted registered, so unable to take on family’s who want to claim back tax free childcare.

I met Rachael for the first time today, and my three children really enjoyed spending
time with her. She is very friendly and kind. She arrived promptly at the given time
and did a fantastic job looking after them as they all really enjoyed her company and
felt safe and comfortable with her. Thank you for looking after my children, and it
was great meeting you today,

Rachael has looked after my 2 year old on three occasions over the last few weeks and have been blown away by her professionalism, patience and warmth. We are very much in the “terrible twos” era and nothing phases her. She came with amazing activities and crafts and my son who can struggle with strangers absolutely loved her. I would 100% reccomend Rachael she is an absolute pro.

Rachael looked after our son for 10 or so days during the school holidays. She has a wealth of experience and takes a genuinely kind and loving approach to childcare. Rachael was brimming with ideas, would bring games and toys with her to play with him, and really treated him as we would. Can't thank you enough Rachael, you made the school hols so much easier for us, and enjoyable for him.

It was my absolute pleasure. Thank you for making me so welcome and my job was easy and so much fun because of your little one.
Trying to find somebody to care for your child isn't the easiest however from the beginning of contacting Rachael she couldn't have been anymore helpful. Rachael now baby sits my daughter as a when i need her and my daughter loves her Rachael. Thankyou for looking after my little girl like shes your own.

Thank you for the lovely review! it’s my pleasure, anytime 😄
Rachael looked after our 3 year old boy several times a week for a few months. They formed a really great bond and you would often hear him laughing his head off. At his age it's most important they are comfortable and having fun.
Beyond that she structured the day really well. She would always bring something new and engaging for him to do each day, arts or learning. There would also be plenty of time for him to choose his play to keep things fun.
I would strongly recommend Rachael. Her experience and Nursery background is invaluable but most importantly our boy enjoyed spending time with her.

Thank you so much. It was such a pleasure looking after O. I’m really missing the little guy. i wish you all well
I would recommend Rachael to everyone! From our initial meeting, you immediately know she is passionate about children and extremely knowledgeable! She has been helping with my son since he was 3 months old on a weekly basis and she has been fabulous. My little boy suffered with reflux and colic, so honestly, it wasnt (and still at times isn't) always easy, but Rachael has never been deterred, but is always there to help and reassure me as a first time mum. It's a juggle being a mum and running a business but Rachael has been flexible and helped us on short notice when required. She really is amazing and would be an amazing addition to any family and is everything I wanted in a Nanny!

Rachael provided back up care for us at home when my eldest son had chickenpox. She quickly bonded with both my boys (3 and 18 months) and undertook some great activities with them including outdoor play, baking and craft. Rachael was flexible and independent meaning that I could work without having to worry about them. I would have no hesitation in recommending Rachael.
