My Summary

Maternity Nurse & Behaviour Specialist Nanny | Holistic, Sen-Aware | Safeguarding & Child L

My Experience

I have over six years’ experience supporting vulnerable and looked after children across a range of settings, including nurseries, behavioural schools, and children’s homes.

I have worked with children aged 1–17 with a wide range of needs, including autism, emotional dysregulation, anxiety, mental health challenges, and school refusal.

I have supported children within both shared and single occupancy homes, working with complex trauma backgrounds requiring high levels of safeguarding, consistency, and emotional support.

This experience has given me a strong understanding of how calm, predictable care and secure attachments support children’s wellbeing.

In my current role as a Family Practitioner, I work alongside families involved in the family court process, supporting co-parenting, reducing conflict, and ensuring children’s wishes and feelings remain central.

Alongside this, I now support families during the newborn stage as a maternity nurse, helping establish strong, calm foundations from the very beginning.

• Paediatric First Aid Training

Alongside my experience, I bring newly trained knowledge and up to date understanding in:

• Safe Sleep & SIDS Awareness
• Babyem Level 4 Newborn Care
• Babyem Gentle Sleep Practitioner (0–18 months)
