Kathleen
Nanny in St Albans (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
I am 39 years old and based in the St Albans/Wheathampstead area. I hold a full, clean UK driving licence and have over 19 years of experience working in childcare.
My experience includes caring for twins, newborns and young children, as well as working as a nanny and managing a private childcare setting. I am passionate about providing a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment for children, and I take great pride in building warm, trusting relationships with both children and their families.
My Experience
I am an experienced and dedicated childcare professional with over 19 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns through to school age.
Most recently, I completed an incredible 16-year journey with a wonderful nanny family, where I was fortunate to become a trusted and valued part of their family life. Alongside this, I have worked for the past 11 years as a Childcare Coordinator at a private crèche for a Premiership rugby club.
Earlier in my career, I worked within a primary school in Bedfordshire, where I was training as a Teaching Assistant. I began my childcare career in a busy, full-time nursery in St Albans, progressing to Room Leader within just six months. These varied roles have given me a wealth of experience and a strong understanding of the individual needs of children at different stages of their development.
I have extensive experience caring for newborns, young babies and children of all ages, and I am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, stimulating and fun environment where children feel happy, secure and supported.
Alongside my professional roles, I regularly babysit for a number of families and have experience with overnight care and longer stays, including caring for children for periods of four to five days. I am reliable, responsible and adaptable, and I understand the importance of building warm, trusting relationships with both children and their families.
I also have my own car and a full, clean driving licence, which gives me the flexibility to accommodate a variety of childcare arrangements and activities.
Above all, I take great pride in providing high-quality, personal childcare and in becoming someone families can trust and rely on.

Kat was an absolute lifeline during my first year of parenthood. Navigating new motherhood in a different country away from my family felt daunting, but her presence changed everything. She brought a rare blend of deep professionalism, warmth, and intuitive care that gave me complete peace of mind. I will forever be grateful for the comfort, stability, and heart she brought to our lives during such a crucial year.

Kat has looked after all 3 of my children both professional and private, she is so caring and loving towards them and has been so kind and patient in all times, my kids absolutely love Kat very much and still ask when she can next look after them.
I highly recommend Kat, she is amazing at what she does and we couldn't ask for a better nanny/babysitter for our children.
As a parent it is important to have confidence and trust in the person looking after your children, and Kat exceeds to all these expectations.
Thank you again Kat 🫶🏼
