My Summary
About Me
Hello Parents!
I’m a warm, reliable and highly qualified childcare provider with extensive experience supporting children of all ages. I also work part-time in the NHS, so you can be assured your child’s care is in safe, experienced hands. I offer flexible ad hoc babysitting across London — including evenings, weekends, and school holidays.
I’m currently in the process of registering with Ofsted as a childminder, so I will soon be able to offer full childcare services from my home as well.
My Experience
As a parent to a five-year-old, I have gained invaluable firsthand experience in caring for and understanding the needs of young children—an essential foundation for providing attentive and compassionate childcare to others.
Additionally, I have over 10 years of experience working with children in nurseries, schools, families, and the NHS. I have a BSc in Psychology and hold two NCFE certificates in childcare, a Level 3 Diploma in Early Years Education and a Level 3 Certificate in Childcare and Education. I have a strong understanding of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework and support children’s learning and development through play, communication, and routine.
With my background in psychology and counselling, I tailor care to each child’s needs, helping them grow in confidence and independence while supporting their emotional and cognitive development.

I cannot speak more highly of Sarah.
since it was our first time we were very anxious and unsettled as we did not want to leave our little ones (3 and 4year olds) in the care of just anyone.
Sarah has been very supportive and really flexible all through the process, her warm smile and soft yet reassuring voice very comforting.
My husband and I , have been absolutely delighted to have Sarah in for our kids, they are well fed and well looked after just as we would
She engages the kids in so much fun activities and has so many fantastic toys which let them explore their curious developing minds.
Sarah is very holistic in her approach and treats each child based-on their individual needs.
Lastly, The regular updates throughout the day kept our hearts at ease as we could barely feel we were not with them .
I am glad my kids love Sarah , my son never stops talking about her. and how much he loves Sarah.
