About Me

Hi I’m Fran,

A wife and mum to 4 busy and energetic boys 12, 9, 2 1/2 and 1 1/2.

I’ve been in childcare for over 20 years and have a HND in care, as well as a Level 4 Diploma in Counselling.

I’m passionate about children and their development , which probably comes from a subconscious influence from my mum who’s been in early years education all her life-from owning her own successful nursery to working at a school, to lecturing Early Years-teaching and guiding those who also have a passion of working with children.

I took time off to be around for my family as much as I can, and prior to that my experience is nannying (0 years-9 years), working at a school for 10 years where I was a manager of the before and after school club-working with children from 4 years to 11 years, and working within the school on a 121 basis with a gorgeous boy who was autistic.

Working with children, whether someone else’s or my own has literally been all I know. I’m passionate about what I do and I believe that reflects in my work.

Apart from looking after children, if I get the chance I enjoy keeping fit-in particular running. I love food and cooking as does my husband. Food and meal time is a big part of our family core. Cooking together and eating together is where we notice conversations start and flow. I also enjoy fashion.

As well as children, I’m passionate about natural, non toxic skincare products that are good for the whole family, and as such I’m a proud ambassador for Tropic skincare in my own time.

I’m looking to work with a family or families on a flexible/add-hoc/emergency basis. However, I would consider short temporary positions too.
