Hello, and thank you for visiting my profile!
I am a kind, caring, and experienced nanny with over three decades of hands-on experience caring for babies and children of all ages. I hold a Level 3 NVQ in Children’s Care, Learning and Development, a Level 3 Postnatal Maternity Nurse Care Training Certificate, and I’m also a qualified Infant Massage Instructor.
My childcare journey began when my own four children (now grown, independent, and thriving) were young. Over the years, I’ve worked as a playgroup leader, registered childminder, nanny, and of course, as a dedicated mum. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of children’s needs at every stage of development.
I live in Warmley, conveniently located between Bristol and Bath, with my lovely husband of 33 years and our French Bulldog, Dolly. I have a reliable, fully insured car for business use, a clean driving licence, and am happy to travel within the local area.
I believe children thrive best in a warm, nurturing environment—especially within the comfort of their own home where they feel safe and secure. I treat every child in my care with the same love, respect, and attention I would want for my own children. My priority is always their happiness, well-being, and development.
I offer parents the peace of mind that comes from knowing their little ones are safe, happy, and cared for by a nanny with both professional training and years of practical experience.
I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and your family. Please feel free to get in touch—I’d love to hear from you!

Julie reached out to me when I was looking for someone to take care of our toddler whilst we attended a wedding. She met Niyah beforehand and there was an instant bond. Julie was a lovely babysitter. Kind and friendly and she sent us updates with pictures a couple of times to reassure us everything was going well. Couldn't have asked for a better person to look after our baby. Highly recommend. Thank you Julie!!

Julie came to babysit for us for an evening. She turned up on time, had an instant rapport with our children, immediately put us at ease and was extremely professional. She even tidied up the kids toys while we were out.
Thank you!

Julie is currently looking after our 4 year-old and 2 year-old and from day one, she has been amazing. The children love her, she always thinks of fun activities for them and takes them on lots of lovely days out. Julie also ensures the children eat healthily every day. With Julie, the children, who were used to having their mum around all the time, have made tremendous progress. They always miss Julie in the holidays and our daughter often asks "when is the next Julie day?". She is very much part of the family.
Sadly, our eldest is going to school this September so our childcare needs are such that we will have to say goodbye to Julie soon. We made our decision with heavy hearts and will miss Julie a lot.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Julie, she is kind, caring, fun and totally trustworthy. She has a lot of experience and is always happy to work with parents and children to make sure everyone is happy.
