Yoli
Childminder in Cupar (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
Hola! I'm Yolanda but children normally call me Yoli.
I'm originally from Barcelona but I have been living in Scotland for more than 6 years. I speak Catalan, Spanish, English and a bit of Italian. I love arts & crafts, nature & outdoor play, storytelling, cooking & baking, playing all sorts of games, dressing up, singing & dancing nursery rhymes in different languages and playing my yellow ukulele.
My Experience
With almost 20 years of dedicated service in childcare and education, I have worked with a diverse range of learners, spanning from 1 year old to nearly adulthood. For example, as a Primary School Teacher in Spain or as an Early Years Practitioner in various nurseries across Dundee, Edinburgh, Fife and Perthshire.
In 2023 I started to do what it turned to be my passion and what I like the most: working directly with families, from all around the world (American, Argentinian, Brazilian, Canadian, Catalan, Finnish, English, German, Indian, Italian, Scottish, South African, Spanish, Tunisian and Ukranian), based in Anstruther, Balmullo, Cellardyke, Crail, Cupar, Dundee, Kingsbarns, Letham, Leuchars, Newport, Pitlessie, St Andrews, St Monans, etc.

I loved the experience so much that I decided to start 2025 creating my own business: Yoli Poppins! The aim was to offer Babysitting and Nanny services to more families in the area and fast I was fully booked Mon-Fri! That is why that same year I started my registration to be a Childminder.
From December 2025 got my registration with the Care Inspectorate as a Childminder in Cupar! Yay! Planning to start my Childminding service from February 2026, offering school drops-offs and pick ups in town, together with Early Years childcare.
