Nanny in Manchester (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
My name is SMART, and I am a highly motivated, compassionate, and conscientious professional with over 17 years of experience across mental health nursing, social care, and community support services. I have consistently demonstrated the ability to lead, collaborate, and adapt within diverse and dynamic environments, ensuring that the needs of individuals, families, and organisations are met to the highest standard.
Through my extensive experience working in complex and challenging settings, I have developed exceptional problem-solving skills, emotional intelligence, and resilience. I am skilled in assessing needs, identifying potential risks, and implementing practical, person-centred strategies that promote safety, wellbeing, and positive outcomes. My strong communication and interpersonal skills enable me to build trusting relationships quickly, whether working with vulnerable adults, children, or families.
In addition to my healthcare background, I am a dedicated and experienced Nanny/Manny and Childminder, currently supporting families across the UK. I specialise in delivering nurturing, child-centred, and trauma-informed care, supporting children from as young as three years old through key stages of their emotional, social, and developmental growth. My approach focuses on creating a safe, structured, and stimulating environment where children feel valued, secure, and empowered to develop confidence, independence, and resilience.
My childcare practice is rooted in a holistic understanding of wellbeing, drawing on my mental health training to support children’s emotional regulation, behaviour, and development. I am particularly skilled in working with children who may require additional support, including those with behavioural needs, neurodiversity, or emotional challenges.
To further enhance my childcare services, I founded PROSEMART Care and Nanny Services, providing flexible, high-quality childcare solutions tailored to the individual needs of families. My services include:
Professional nannying and babysitting
Childminding and wraparound care
School drop-offs and pick-ups (school runs)
Football coaching (1:1 and small group sessions for children and young people)
Travel care, including accompanying families on trips
Maternity and postpartum support for new parents
Parental guidance, including support with routines, behaviour management, and transitions
I pride myself on delivering personalised, reliable, and high-quality care that goes beyond traditional childcare. I create engaging environments through structured routines, creative play, educational support, and physical activity, ensuring each child’s developmental needs are met.
Families trust me to provide safe, professional, and compassionate care, allowing them to confidently balance their personal and professional responsibilities. My commitment is to support not only the child but the whole family unit, contributing positively to the development and wellbeing of the next generation.
My Experience
I bring over 17 years of extensive and diverse experience working with children and young people across a range of professional and personal settings. Throughout my career, I have undertaken multiple roles including Male Nanny, Learning Mentor, Mental Health Nurse, Football Coach (for over six years), Youth Worker, Play Worker, Support Worker, Childcare Practitioner, and Housing Support Officer. These varied experiences have enabled me to develop a comprehensive and adaptable skill set, allowing me to support children with a wide range of needs, abilities, and backgrounds.
My professional background is strengthened by my personal experience as a parent, which has provided me with valuable insight into the everyday realities, challenges, and rewards of raising and nurturing children. This dual perspective allows me to approach childcare with empathy, patience, and a deep understanding of both child development and family dynamics.
I am particularly skilled in creating safe, structured, and engaging environments that promote emotional wellbeing, confidence, and independence. My approach is child-centred, nurturing, and trauma-informed, drawing on my mental health training to support children’s behaviour, emotional regulation, and overall development.
Through my combined experience, I have developed strong communication, safeguarding, and relationship-building skills, enabling me to work effectively with children, families, and professionals. I am committed to providing high-quality, consistent, and compassionate care that supports each child to thrive and reach their full potential.

Smart looked after My 2 children during the last summer. He's everything I hoped I'd find in a child minder. He's very reliable and attentive to details, we are sure that our kids are safe with him.
Smart is kind, patient and a fantastic child minder.
