About Me

Hi, I'm Kelly-Marie.

If you are here looking for childcare, chances are you're probably looking for someone you can trust with your children - and someone who will hopefully make your life a little bit easier too!

I've worked with children and families for over 13 years, and childcare has always been something I have genuinely loved. I've worked my way through early years, from the baby room leader, through to nursery manager, and I've also run my own childminding business for the best part of 3 years.

But what I've realised over the years is that childcare isn't just about the children and that parents need support too.

Sometimes you need someone to look after the children while you work. Or sometimes you might need a night out or just a few hours to yourself. Sometimes the school holidays arrive and you're wondering how you're going to survive them!

And sometimes you don't actually want someone to take the children away. You just need another pair of hands.

Maybe you're trying to take two children to the park and they're both going in two completely different directions. Maybe it's just an appointment you have and you need someone to help. Maybe getting out and about has just gotten a bit harder than it used to be. Or maybe you're just simply exhausted and you could really do with someone else there.

That's the kind of support I love giving.

I'm happy to offer regular nannying sessions, occasional childcare, ad-hoc babysitting and school holiday support, but I'm also really happy to work alongside parents when that's what they need.

I have a big interest in wellbeing. This has been my most recent role in the wellness industry over the past 7 years. So, I don't just see the child in front of me - I see and support the family around them too.

I'm a very calm, warm and down-to-earth person and I definitely don't pretend to be the perfect parent type. I know that family life can be messy, exhausting, funny, amazing but also be completely overwhelming - often all in the same day.

Along the way I have collected a lot of tools through my own experiences and training. I have added them into my own life in stages and I love supporting families in many ways.

If you're looking for someone who will get to know your family, listen to what you actually need and hopefully make things feel a little easier, I'd love to hear from you. Because sometimes you just need someone in your corner.
