My Summary
About Me
Hi, I’m Jessica — an OFSTED-registered childminder based in Burton Latimer. I live with my husband Liam, a local plumber working in Rushden, and our cheeky, smiley little boy Angus, who is two years old. We’ve been together for 11 and a half years and married for 3.5 of those. Our family is growing again, as I’m currently pregnant and due in November!
I’ll be taking a short break from childminding in December and will be back to work on 5th January.
Before becoming a childminder, I trained and worked as a professional chef. I’ve always loved cooking, but motherhood led me down a new and fulfilling path — helping guide little ones as they learn and grow. Supporting children through their early years is something I’m truly passionate about.
When I’m not working, I love spending time with my family — whether it’s days out, family BBQs, or just enjoying being together. I come from a big family myself (one of eight!), so I’ve always been surrounded by children and the joy they bring.
My Experience
I have extensive experience caring for children from birth to 12 years old, including looking after my many nieces, nephews, and friends’ children. I grew up in a big family — one of eight siblings — so I’ve always been surrounded by children, which helped shape my natural confidence and comfort in caring for little ones.
From a young age, I was involved in Girlguiding — starting in Rainbows and continuing through Brownies, Guides, and Rangers. At 16, I became a Young Leader, and by 18, I was an Adult Leader with my local Guide unit. I continued volunteering until I was 26, helping to plan and deliver a wide range of activities, outings, and residential camps. It gave me a strong foundation in supporting children’s learning, confidence, and independence through play and teamwork.

Jess has looked after our 2 boys, aged 2.5 and 5 on many an occasion. She is a natural with children, very engaging and I always know that they’ll be safe left in her care.
