My Summary

My Experience

I have extensive experience caring for children through a variety of settings, including babysitting for family and friends, working within nursery and school environments, nannying roles, healthcare settings, and supporting children through church activities. This wide range of experience has allowed me to confidently care for children of all ages, from newborns and toddlers to preschool and school-age children.

I am comfortable supporting children with their daily routines such as preparing and assisting with meals, bathing, bedtime routines, homework support, and engaging playtime activities. I understand the importance of maintaining structure while also creating a warm, fun, and nurturing environment where children feel safe and valued.

With a professional nursing background, I bring a high level of awareness around child safety, hygiene, wellbeing, and emotional care. I am calm under pressure, attentive to individual needs, and able to respond appropriately in different situations, which gives parents peace of mind.

I am naturally patient, gentle, and playful, while also being firm but kind when setting boundaries. I am well-organised, reliable, and respectful of family routines and values. I enjoy building positive relationships with children and supporting their development through age-appropriate activities, learning through play, and encouragement.

My Qualifications

I have a professional nursing background, which provides me with strong knowledge of child health, safety, hygiene, and emotional wellbeing. My training has equipped me with the ability to recognise signs of illness, respond calmly in emergencies, and provide attentive, compassionate care to children of all ages.

Through my nursing education and experience, I have developed excellent skills in safeguarding, infection control, risk assessment, and supporting children’s physical and emotional needs. I am confident in following care plans, administering routines safely (where appropriate and agreed), and maintaining a clean and safe environment.

In addition to my professional training, I have hands-on childcare experience across nursery, school, nannying, healthcare, and community (church) settings. This combination allows me to provide high-quality, reliable care while supporting children’s development, routines, and wellbeing.

I am committed to ongoing learning and maintaining high standards of care, and I always work in partnership with parents to ensure their child’s needs are met consistently and safely.

My Availability

I offer flexible availability, including weekdays, evenings, weekends. I am open to both regular and ad-hoc bookings and happy to discuss family needs.
