About Me
Hi, my name is Carly. I am a very out going person and love the outdoors (especially in summer!). I can usually be found with my head stuck in a good book! I love reading.
I enjoy spending most of my free time with my family and making memories.
Owner of Safe Haven. Childcare for all your needs :)
My Experience
I have lots of experience. Newborn to adolescences.
I have looked after babies and children with additional needs, such as a peg feed, autism, ADHD and other complex needs. I have knowledge of allergies and intolerances and currently look after children with intolerances or on adapted diets. I am happy to follow anything in place.
I have worked in schools and nurseries and currently running my own business called Safe Haven. I am fully insured, including my car and have an enhanced and clean DBS. I am not Ofsted registered, nor do I plan to be. This will not benefit me or anyone I work alongside.

My Availability
I have weekday, weekend and school holiday avalibility.
I do have business hours and sometimes will not respond before 8am or after 5.30pm. Thank you for your understanding.
I will never commence any working hours without a meet and greet first.
Ideally your child/children will be cared for by me, in your homes or out in the community.
My Fees
- Babysitting from £17.00 per hour
- Nannying from £19.00 per hour (gross)
Unfortunately I cannot accept government funded hours. My rates will depend on distance/where you live. If you are happy to pay mileage we can discuss fees.
I am trained to a high standard and pride myself on this. If you are looking for a Saturday night “babysitter” I am not this. I am so much more. I am extremely professional & this will show upon meeting me. My prices reflect my knowledge and my training. Your children will be expertly looked after in my care :)

Carly responded to my add for 1:1 support for my 15 year old son, to help support with travelling and being out and about.
Carly was fantastic from the off, she came out and introduced herself to the whole family, very open and honest and enthusiastic. I felt very reassured and confident in her abilities.
My son and Carly have navigated different towns and cities, bus journeys, getting around.
My son’s confidence has grown and he’s happy to deal with bus journeys and pay for things in shops. His confidence has grown so much and he’s happy to navigate the new life skills he’s developed since going out with Carly.
Carly is wonderful, she gets his sense of humour and he comes home happy and laughing every time which is wonderful for us to see.
Really pleased that Carly reached out and was happy to take on his social development. Honestly so thankful that Carly is a part of his world.
Cannot sing your praises enough, thank you from us all. You make more of a difference than you realise xxx

We have known Carly for just under a year now and it has been an absolute pleasure to have her as a PA to my little boy. My son has severe autism, moderate learning disability, ADHD, he is non verbal and not toilet trained. Carly is amazing with him and meets all of his high care needs. I honestly do not know how we ever managed without Carly, she has given our family a chance to have quality time with my other son. When I first started using Carly, I was so nervous leaving my little boy, as all parents would be and Carly has built such a fantastic bond with him. Nothing is ever too much trouble for Carly, she is very flexible and accommodating. Anyone can look after a child but it takes a special person to look after a special needs child and I could not recommend Carly enough.

I was really struggling to find the right person to provide care for my autistic, non verbal 3 year old with sensory processing disorder. Then I wad lucky enough to find Carly on here! Carly is so amazing with my son and he has taken to her straight away. She talks to him so much which I absolutely love, she presumes competance and sees the best in him which not all caregivers would. I trust her completely and she's already become part of the family, everyone loves her. Meet her and you'll see what I mean, she cares so much about the kids she looks after. As a single Mum I couldn't be happier to have found Carly and have her be part of my sons support system.
