About Me

Hi, I'm Nichola. I'm 44, and I live in north Carterton.

I have over 20 years of experience in providing babysitting, private nannying, mother's help, doula, and housesitting.

I'm currently available for part-time or adhoc childcare within 10 miles of Carterton or within 10 miles of West Swindon and anywhere in between!

I enjoy engaging with children of all ages, doing activities, reading etc. I also enjoy playing board games.

I'm also happily experienced in pet sitting/walking and housesitting if required. I would also consider travelling on holiday with you and your family for an extra pair of hands when needed.

I have an identical twin sister who has 2 daughters, whom I adore spending time with.

I had a good childhood, and I believe childhood can be a magical time in our lives. I aim to bring and maintain that special feeling of fun and security to every child I care for.

I am patient, calm, easygoing, reliable, proactive, and friendly, with a happy and positive can-do attitude. I'm not afraid of using my own initiative and getting my hands dirty so to speak!

I'm happy to do any laundry, light housework, caring for pets and clerical/admin work etc whilst in your home.

In my spare time, I like to take day trips, going to the theatre, local gigs and music festivals.
I love to travel and I especially like cruises. I have a passion for music, floristry, art, and photography.

I'm also vaccinated against Covid-19.

My Experience

I have babysat for families for over 20 years. Some on a regular basis and some occasionally as required. I also have doula experience with babies, mother's help and house sitting, looking after pets (and plants!) whilst you are away.

My Qualifications

DBS checked (October2025)
NVQ Level 2 in food hygiene.

Nichola is so incredibly kind. Our son had the best time with her. They had a movie night and watched his favourite movie; she offered to cook dinner and just went above and beyond. So wonderful!

Nix fitted in straight away when she arrived. I felt she had local knowledge and was easy with our son. I'm so pleased we met and hope to book Nix again in the future.
