About Me

I’m an enthusiastic, fun, loving & caring 27 year old! :) I have worked with children for over 11 years now. DBS cleared & paediatric first aid qualified! I am a native English speaker who is highly motivated and an inventive adult who thoroughly enjoys working with children. Having had opportunities to work with children in various settings, I believe this has enriched my understanding and ability to care for children.

I am pro active, punctual, fun and flexible. I enjoy looking after children as every day brings something new and it’s very satisfying watching them grow and thrive. I've been lucky enough to nanny a brother and sister aged 4 and 6 (when started the role) for two and a half years and I can honestly say that I enjoyed every day that I spent with them. I would be more than happy to take your child/children to the park, library, museum, along with playing games with your child/children at your home, supervising them, engaging in fun play, singing with them etc!

I am a big fan of music and acting. Performed at my schools choir for 6 years, studied A-level Music and performed at many events in the area as well as performed in the school musicals Grease, Hairspray, West End Experience, Ali Baba and more! I have done many student films, masterclasses (one by Sir Ian McKellan himself), acting courses at City Academy and showreeels. I would love to bring out your child’s inner passion for music and theatre! When working as a nanny I had previously helped the children write and compose their own songs, created mini movies for their parents using classic children's books as inspiration, sang songs alongside my keyboard, taught children how to play chords on the piano.

Available for babysitting weekdays and weekends.
