So today we made the most of the beautiful weather and had a walk around the park to feed the squirrels

I am an Ofsted registered nanny with expertise in looking after children of all ages. Having worked for a number of nurseries and childcare facilities I have a wealth of experience to call upon when looking after the children in my care.

I am able to provide bespoke childcare in your own home, allowing me to care for your children in their familiar environment. Whether you need childcare whilst you are working or you just need that little bit of you time during the hectic weekly schedule, I am here to ensure that your children receive the best possible care. I also understand that juggling work and children can be challenging and will work with you to find the right balance for your family.

I have a passion for helping to nurture a child to allow them to grow and thrive as they learn about the world around them.

I have a full clean driving licence, car seat for ages 0-12 and buggy for 6 months to approximately 3. I can fit in activities around your child’s existing routine and will ensure that they are fed nutritious meals where needed.

Please contact me for availability and current rates. I would be delighted to share my passion for childcare with you and help to make a difference in your daily life.

Saying goodbye to a family after 4 years of dedicated service and forming close family ties is one of the toughest parts of being a nanny.

You might not always be in the spotlight but your influence is felt every day when you walk through those work doors. It’s felt in your routines. It’s felt in the way your nanny kids develop and learn. It’s felt in the love that you give to families every day. You are the real influencers. Cheers to making it through another week, Nanny!

Dear fellow educator,
Whether you’re a childminder, nursery practitioner, teacher, forest school leader, nanny, TA, or anyone who spends their days shaping little humans… this one is for you. 🫶🏻

I know there are days where you go home exhausted in a way you can’t quite explain.
Where you replay the hard moments in your mind, wondering if you handled them the “right” way.
Where you feel stretched, pulled, poured-out… and still want to give more.

I know there are moments when you doubt yourself.
When you question whether your calm made a difference.
Whether your patience mattered.
Whether your presence was enough.

But here’s the truth — the truth you forget because you’re too busy caring:
You are changing childhood in ways you may never see.
In the gentleness you offer.
In the boundaries you hold.
In the kindness you model.
In the safety you create, day after day. 💗

The little ones in front of you won’t remember every word…
but they will remember the way they felt with you.

So please hear this, today and every day:
You matter.
Your work matters.
And the world is softer because of you. 🌈🫶🏻❤️
