About Me

I am a Level 3 qualified Early Years Educator and have provided care to children from birth to 11+ for over 20 years. I have worked as a nanny (including OFSTED registered nanny) for many families in Bath, as a creche supervisor in a hotel, as a children's activity leader in various primary schools in Wiltshire and as a babysitter (for many families) since 1998. After starting a family of my own, I now mostly work solely as a babysitter for families in parts of Wiltshire, Somerset and in Bath. This comprises of working in family homes as well as to guests staying in hotels.

I have an up to date and enhanced DBS check (subscribed to the update service) and up to date Paediatric First Aid training.

My Experience

Since 1998, I have gained lots of experience providing all aspects of care to children from birth to age 11+ years. I have worked as a sole-charge nanny, hotel creche supervisor, babysitter, children's activity leader in primary schools in Wiltshire and 'mothers helper'. I also have my own child. I have cared for children of all abilities, including those with special educational needs, additional developmental needs and children requiring additional behavioural support.
