Adam
Babysitter in Herne Bay
My Summary
About Me
Hi, I’m Adam, an Early Years/ Primary Teacher based in Herne Bay. I’m currently studying for my PhD in Education and start my Play Therapy training in April 2026.
I offer childcare, but prefer the term ‘playcare’ to babysitting, as I will be spending time with your child and playing, not watching from the sidelines.
I also offer private tutoring/ homeschooling to support children with early phonics and reading, mathematical mastery, the Primary National Curriculum and 11+ prep.
I am not OFSTED registered nor do I accept childcare vouchers.
My Experience
I have worked with children aged 12 months to 12 years old for over 14 years and have both a BA and MA in Early Childhood Education and Care. I have additional qualifications in first aid, fire marshal, food hygiene and safeguarding, as well as extensive training and experience supporting neurodiverse children and those with special education needs.
I have worked in Nurseries and Primary Schools across East Kent both as a Class Teacher and in Management.

My son is 6 years old, autistic and very high needs. Since Adam has started supporting him, we have seen such a remarkable difference and my son is now engaging in ways we never thought he would. Adam is so supportive, so caring and really tailors activities to the child and their interests and individual needs. His understanding of SEN and his approaches have been such a breath of fresh air compared to our experience of the school system. My son looks forward to Adam's sessions so much and I feel so happy we found him!

Adam has been tutoring my son for a while now, and the positive change it has brought to all of our lives has been unmatched by any other educator. Adam has a sound understanding of SEN, and is able to incorporate fun into the curriculum that my child so needed extra support with.
Adam is always positive and upbeat, and displays a great deal of empathy during some of the trickier sessions he faces with my child.
Thank you!!!
