My Summary
About Me
I'm Millie, a First Class English Literature graduate from the University of Edinburgh with a natural passion for working with children and families. There's nothing I love more than seeing a child light up when they learn something new or share an exciting story from their day.
My recent work as a teaching assistant across London schools, including SEN settings, has deepened my understanding of how each child is beautifully unique. I've learned to adapt my approach whether I'm helping with homework, managing bedtime routines, or simply being a listening ear after a tough day at school.
Growing up with horses taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of creating safe, nurturing environments. I bring this same gentle but dependable energy to every family I work with. Parents often tell me they feel completely at ease knowing their children are in my care.
I'm naturally organised and love creating fun activities, but I'm equally happy with quiet cuddles and bedtime stories. My goal is always to support your family's routines while bringing a bit of joy and creativity to your children's day.
Reliable, caring, and genuinely invested in your children's happiness - that's what I bring to your family.
My Experience
I've been caring for children since I was 16, gaining over 8 years of babysitting experience with children aged 4 and above. My recent role as a teaching assistant took me into both mainstream and SEN schools across London, where I developed strong skills supporting children with special educational needs and understanding their unique requirements.
Working in several schools has given me invaluable experience adapting to different learning styles and behavioural needs, while maintaining the patience and empathy essential for working with all children. I've consistently demonstrated reliability with a 98% placement fulfillment rate, showing families they can depend on me completely.
My equestrian background has instilled a deep sense of responsibility and safety awareness, while my creative writing and communication skills help me engage children through storytelling and imaginative play. Whether it's homework help, crafting activities, or simply providing a calm, nurturing presence, I approach each child as an individual with their own needs and interests.
Parents consistently trust me because I'm genuinely invested in their children's wellbeing and development. I'm the person families call when they need someone dependable, caring, and capable of handling whatever the day might bring.
