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.
