My Summary
About Me
*I have bases all over and can travel pretty much anywhere!*
Highly qualified and experienced maternity nurse.
I consider myself a friendly, approachable person :) hopefully you agree! I completed my Childcare Diploma in 2005, and although I have tried other fields, I always come back to childcare. In the past few years, I have come to realise that taking care of little ones is what makes me the happiest :) I hold OCN recognised qualifications in Maternity Nursing and Breastfeeding. My hobbies include yoga, writing, painting, arts and crafts, movies and telling and making up stories.
Flexible schedules easily become reassuring routines with my techniques. I favour a gentle approach to childcare and believe that our children’s mental health is just as important as their physical health. The children in my care will always be cherished, respected and never shamed for any “negative” emotions. Discipline and boundaries will be maintained at all times but in an age appropriate way.
I don’t practise any harsh sleep training methods and instead work with a baby’s natural rhythm and developmental progress, which in turn helps them sleep through all the quicker, in my professional experience!
Let’s build your child a secure emotional base together so they grow into a happy, confident and empathetic adult :)
My Experience
I have worked in multiple personal homes as a nanny/childminder/babysitter, and 2 nurseries as a key worker. I also completed 2 years of a 3 year child nursing course, and have been working with children either full or part time ever since I started my training in 2005. I now mostly work with newborns as a maternity nurse and have extensive newborn twin experience.

I haven't used a babysitting service before and we met Charlie through this site.
From the outset, Charlie has been very easy to work with - very punctual, great communications and she gets on really well with my son.
I can't recommend her highly enough - thanks Charlie!
