My Summary
About Me
*Please get in touch for any ad hoc days/night time babysitting*
Hello,
I'm 37 and from the Glasgow area. I've been working with all the major Nanny/Governess agencies worldwide for high profile families for the past 14+ years and I'm now looking for something a little closer to home. I'm also excited to be part of a down to earth family and grow with a family.
I have a degree in Fashion Marketing, I'm a PADI Scuba Diving Instructor and I speak German as a second language, which I learnt as an adult. (I'm also happy to teach this)
I've worked with babies aged 4 weeks old and every age in between, up to teenagers. I have worked mainly abroad and taught children English through play. I enjoy playing indoors and outdoors, creating a fun, loving and caring learning environment with lots of singing and dancing, building and crafting. I'm used to getting stuck in straight away and helping out where needed, happy to create or follow a schedule and to be super flexible.
I genuinely love my job and wouldn't want to do anything else.
I hope to hear from you soon and I'm available from now.
- For temporary/adhoc work but also for a permanent role.

I would definitely recommend Lisa as a Nanny and baby sitter, she saved the day as I had last minute changes in my childcare plans and had to do a last minute arrangement. Lisa is patient, thoughtful she pays attention to little details, she made sure communication is clear and effective throughout. My kids had the best time with Lisa and enjoyed a wide range of activities. I wasnt sure if my toddler will get on well with a new face but all my worries eased seeing my toddlers big smiles. Lisa was also great with my eldest who is ASD and her need for more time to adjust.
Thanks to Lisa I was able to enjoy a nightout with friends knowing that my kids are in safe hands.

My pleasure and I hope to see you all again ☺️
Thanks for a lovely review!
Lisa is the first person we have asked outside of the family to babysit our children, which i have always felt a little apprehensive about, this quickly disappeared when Lisa got back in touch with us.
From the beginning she had attention to detail and was a clear communicator.
Our children are of a wider age range, 11yr, 8yr and 9 months and she was able to cater to them all. The children enjoyed her company so much the next morning they asked when she was coming back again and the middle child had drawn a picture of her 😊
Thanks for such a positive experience Lisa, we look forward to seeing you again in the future 😊
