About Me

Hi! My name is Sara and I am a kind, caring and fun mother of four grown up children I am fit and healthy and love the great outdoors and nature, I believe fresh air and exercise are an important part of a child’s health and wellbeing. I love arts and crafts and baking. I’m passionate about cooking and offer healthy homecooked meals with fresh ingredients and plenty of fruit and veg.

Being a nanny means that I am different from a childminder or nursery as I can offer lots of individual attention to your child. I provide a nurturing, caring environment where your child has all the comforts and security of their home setting. I give children attention, listen to them and aim to support their learning. I thoroughly enjoy working with children and I think this will reflect on how happy they are in my care. My most important aim is to ensure all children in my care are happy, educated, safe, secure and enjoy their childhood to the fullest.

Organised, conscientious and cheerful.
Excellent at nurturing young children helping them discover and develop their emotional, physical, creative and academic skills.
Capable of setting clear goals and boundaries in partnership with parents and carers.
Passionate about helping children lead active lives out and about in their local community. Flexible in all childcare positions including working abroad and weekend holiday cover for parents wishing to have a break from their children.

My Experience

I have 30 years experience in childcare having raised four children of my own and three step children. I am looking for a lovely family who require my help. Experienced in all aspects of childcare and the home . Clean Driving License. First Aid. DBS checked.

My Qualifications

First Aid
Food as Medicine degree

Wonderful support

5 stars

Sara looked after my middle child when he was a baby, and when I had my third I was thrilled she was available to look after him. The day Sara was starting I ended up in hospital with appendicitis and she has been such a huge support during my recovery providing wonderful care and being so flexible and helpful - I honestly don’t know what we would have done without her ! She is such a lovely and calm person it’s a pleasure to see her every day. Thank you Sara !

Very positive experience

5 stars

Sara has slotted easily into our life and routine and made going back to work so much easier. We have a 12 and 13 yr old so drives to school, cooking dinner, dentist appointments etc have all been covered. Total hit with the boys too who appreciate her calm style. Highly recommend.

Amazing support for a couple of days a week

5 stars

Our family circumstances changed earlier this year and we required some immediate help for a couple of days a week. Sara instantly provided us with some calm and confidence that she'd be the extension of our family that we were looking for and our little one (just about to turn one) loves the days he gets to spend with her. Sara's communication is excellent and the smile she's greeted with when arriving at our house is the biggest endorsement we could give. If you're considering reaching out, we'd definitely recommend discussing your requirements with her. Thank you, Robina and Aleck

Very professional

5 stars

Sara has been looking after our two-month-old daughter six hours daily for the last four months. She brings a wealth of experience looking after children of all ages and quickly bonded with our daughter. It was a difficult adjustment for us as new parents to welcome a stranger into our home and leave our daughter with them, but her calm and confident demeanour put us at ease. Sara is fully self-sufficient and very capable; with her support we have been able to recover from tiring nights and keep on-top of household chores.
Sara is warm, kind and our two-year-old (who goes to nursery) also loves her. Sara has a genuine love of children which can be seen straight away. Sara is very organised, punctual, reliable and has great communication skills. We all will be very sad to see her go in a few months (once our youngest goes to nursery) as she’s been a positive influence in her life, and I hope we can keep in touch in the future!

A very positive experience

5 stars

Sara looked after our 3 & 5 year old children for two days a week over the summer holidays. Our experience has been wholly positive and we highly recommend Sara as a nanny. She is organised, punctual, and communicative. She takes the children on fun trips and they both enjoy their time with her. We look forward to Sara looking after our children in the future.

Thank you so much I have really enjoyed my time spent with the children. We REALLY have had a fun time ! xx

Wonderful care and person !

5 stars

Sara has a wealth of experience looking after children and you see that immediately, she is such a natural with children that you feel very at ease leaving them in her care. As a nanny is coming into your home every day you want someone who makes you feel comfortable and Sara really excels at this, she is kind, fun to be around and non judgemental. Sara looked after my youngest child, the older one is in kindergarten, but I found I would often talk through issues with my older child with her too, as she is full of very sound advice. She is always out and about doing various activities which is lovely as you know your child has had an interesting day when she has looked after them. She built a lovely relationship with my son and he would cry his eyes out when she left. We will all miss Sara, she is lovely !

Sara was Amazing at our wedding with our baby!

5 stars

My husband and I got married last Friday and we were so lucky enough to have asked for Sara to watch our daughter for the evening. She was amazing, totally took control so that we could enjoy the rest of our evening without having to worry about our little one! I cannot rate high enough and will be asking for Sara to look after our daughter again the next time we go out! Thank you so much Sara, you are fab! xx

Very highly recommended childcare professional

5 stars

Working with Sara is a dream for us as parents and interesting and stimulating for our children. We struck lucky when we found Sara who has been working with us for a couple of months now. We were looking for school/nursery wrap-around care for our two ‘lively’ boys aged 5 and 2. Sara’s resume stood out a mile as an experienced and caring childcare professional - from nurturing to nutrition Sara has the experience and skill to cover a myriad of needs and requirements. Sara is a calming influence and I am learning a lot from just observing her interpersonal effectiveness with our children. She is in control, demonstrates who in in charge but all with a reassuring and caring tone – I can see that the boys feel safe and are happy to take guidance and direction. I would unequivocally recommend Sara to any parents. Top tip: Interview 3 candidates and then offer Sara the role. If you have found her credentials – well done - now don’t hesitate, secure her services asap.

Super Nanny to our children ages 4 and 1.

5 stars

Sara joined our family in September 2019 and we've counted our blessings every moment since.

From the outset she has gone above and beyond to provide a warm, loving and positive environment for our children to prosper. Always happy to go the extra mile, not just for the children but also to help my husband and I wherever she can. Sara promotes a calm and positive energy, is highly adept at understanding a child's needs and always proactive in developing and adapting routines to teach new skills and help reach developmental milestones.

Sara is a ray of sunshine walking through our door each morning and we're all the better for it.
