About Me

I live in the Christchurch/ Mudeford area.
I am available for ad hoc nanny work and babysitting for next year starting March/ April 2025 (flexible). I would ideally like to find a more permanent position and a family who are willing to let me bring along my little one he will be 8/9 months (March/ April 2025).

I would consider myself to be trustworthy, reliable, caring and most importantly have a love and passion for working with children. I have a great understanding for child development through gaining a first class degree in Education Studies and Early Years. I have obtained 6 years of invaluable hands on experience as a Nursery Nurse and 10+ years as a nanny.
Please feel free to contact me with further questions, references, CV etc.

Clare was an excellent Nanny to our daughter (3 years) and son (6 years) - I’d highly recommend. Our children loved spending time with Clare and her daughter, who fitted in seamlessly. Clare was extremely adaptable and accommodating given most of her time with us was during the renovation of our house, continuing to create a stable environment for the children. She is extremely professional, reliable and super clean! If you’re looking for a Nanny you should snap Clare up, we felt extremely lucky to find her and only parted ways owing to her exciting relocation to the coast.

Clare has worked for our family looking after our children since January 2015. When she started our baby was 3 months old and our son was 5 years old. She looked after our daughter full time from 3 months old and followed and helped to develop the feeding, weaning and sleeping routine as well as potty training her. She also dropped off and collected our 5 year old from School everyday and made all meals for them both. She took my daughter to various groups, baby yoga, swimming lessons, soft play, trampolining etc multiple times a week as she got older. She would also drive my kids to various safari / animal parks during the summer holidays and would always organise a lot of fun activities to keep our very active son busy!! Clare is extremely reliable, calm under pressure and was never late for work, she would always be flexible and stay later if I was held up at work. When I travelled abroad Clare would stay over and help my husband with the children when required. My children absolutely adore Clare, she is very trustworthy, loving, energetic and extremely patient and caring. She has become a part of the family and our family will be very sad to see her leave. My daughter has just started school so sadly we cannot offer Clare enough hours otherwise we would have loved to keep her as the Children's nanny. She will be an asset to any family and will be very missed by ours. Bernadette
