About Me

Welcome to my profile, I am Bex, a highly professional early years practitioner.

In October 2013 I also became a mum and had my second April 2015.

I have only got emergency care and occasional baby siting capacity now as I have my own business and work for the NHS.

The families I have worked with in the past have described me as kind, caring, mature and responsible. “I have always found Rebecca to be polite, pleasant and very informative on the welfare regarding our child." “Rebecca truly is a ‘mother’ to the children whilst we are at work!!’ Please ask to see references to confirm these comments.

I have a passion for the outdoors, cooking, creativity, swimming, Scuba Diving and Horse Riding as well as travelling around the World to learn about different cultures in my spare time.

I have just finished my Masters in Education which I have studied whilst holding down three jobs and running a home. I have excellent time management skills and enjoy being busy.

I have a vast range of skills which I could offer a family who are looking for a nanny\babysitter who can educate their child as well as offer exceptional care and development.

I am no longer registered with OFSTED

Thank you for taking the time to read this profile. I am happy to answer any questions which may arise from reading my details.

My Experience

In the 24 years experience of early years education, I made a change in my career and left nursery management in 2003 to go into training early years professionals. This decision was influenced by the lack of staff with the correct skills and qualities that I was asked to employ.

I have worked as an early years professional as well as an early years Lecturer\Trainer. I have experience of working which children from 0-18 years of age. I am willing to work with children of all ages. I am qualified with my Post Graduate Certificate in Education which qualifies me to teach in nurseries as well as in Further Education\Higher Education.

Enjoy the outdoors and Forest school philosophy and am working towards my Forest School Practitioner Level 3 qualification. Enjoy swimming and have advanced qualifications which allow me to Scuba dive to 30 meters. Have taught children in my care to swim in the past.

Have vast experience in setting up and establishing routines with babies as used to work in a baby room registered for 21 babies and then went on to run 20 place 12-18 months room. Have practical experience with working with children 0-18 years and extensive knowledge of the EYFS. Can provide a wide range of stimulating activities and experiences to suit the ages and stages of any child development. I am able to work as sole charge or shared care.

Babysitting Monday- Thursday evenings 10per hour. Friday-Sunday £12 per hour. Booking before 6pm will be at a higher charge as there will be elements of day-care involved. These prices are for one family bookings. Multiple families there will be additional charges. I have baby sat up to 10 children at one time in the past.

Bex came highly recommended by a friend.

I booked her for the overnight service the first time I left my baby at 12 weeks for my 30th Birthday celebrations.

Bex was the only person that my princess would take a bottle of expressed milk from and she and my baby bonded instantly. Felt so at ease. Bex has also given me advice when requested her knowledge and experience is worth every penny and the advice has be very sound.

Bex followed our wished and routine and woke at 3.10am to do the night feed. Bex offers a very professional service, with a personal touch that made us 100% confident in leaving such a young baby.

We would highly recommend her services as we extremely happy and she excelled our expectations.
