FUN DAYS OUT! Do you have a child who loves rollercoasters and is over 140cm tall? Because this is my favourite thing to do let me take them for a fun day out at Alton towers - I try and take a small group (1-3 children once a month) especially if you have other children to juggle or you can’t easily access/don’t like theme parks, this is getting popular for those big kids that deserve a treat!
I love swimming, yoga, being outdoors and spending time with my family. I’m interested in fitness, nutrition and promoting wellbeing :)
FAQ’s:
Q: What ages do you care for?
A: All ages - newborn to teen and beyond. I’m also experienced in care of adults with disabilities and elderly care (although my main career has been based around childcare)
Q: Where will you care for my child?
A: We will usually be based at your home, however I love to be out and about, and have the option to pop home from time to time to see my gorgeous little Dachshund, which I ensure is a wonderful learning opportunity for children, especially if there are no pets at home
Q: How can I work from home with a Nanny?
A:Work from home? No worries - we can go out exploring, learning and playing, out from under your feet - I know all the best fun and educational places to visit
Q:Nanny, Nursery, Childminder, or Pre-school? What do I choose?
A:All settings are different, I have experience with all of the above and my preference is a Nanny, but not all Nannies are the same, or offer the same services so it’s important to choose the right person. Worried your child won’t develop social skills with a nanny so your not sure what to do? Let’s talk! We can chat about this or organise a nanny share! Children thrive in my care and learn so many skills, we interact within the local community, go out for lunch, and plan positive learning experiences every day.. I follow the same curriculum as nurseries, preschools and childminders, in my own unique and creative way
Q:I just need ad-hoc childcare or an occasional babysitter, can you help?
A:Yes of course! Message me with your requirements and if I’m available then I’m all yours!
Q:Are you available on the weekends?
A:Yes, but I get booked up quite far in advance so if you have a particular important date, please message as soon as possible to avoid missing out
Q:Can you help with my child’s birthday party?
A:Absolutely! I have a successful soft play hire business based in and around the Shrewsbury area with over 60 five star reviews (wahoo!).
I am also available, should you wish to hire an extra pair of hands to help you turn the chaos into calm, and I am also a face painter (I use that term lightly as I’m still practicing - although I haven’t had anyone tell me they didn’t like my work yet - maybe they are too polite but anyway… )
Feel free to message me about any of the above. Many thanks for reading if you got this far :)

First things first, Kellie is amazing. If you are looking for A Wedding Nanny, you need her. She is extremely professional caring, kind understanding of everything that you require on your big day. We were blown away by the service we received when we booked Kellie. It was quite daunting leaving the children overnight with someone else even though we were in the same house but all of my worries were soon squashed as soon as she arrived on the wedding day. The soft play was an added bonus and something that we couldn’t have done without as we had slightly more children than originally planned and they all loved playing all day. The parents we did have at our wedding were also blown away and couldn’t believe how fantastic Kellie was. If we ever need any childcare at an event again, we will be in touch and booking again!

Kelly looked after my 15month old son for our wedding day, I can praise her enough she is amazing ans my son who hadn't met her before loved her so much he didn't want to know me or anybody else he was all Kelly.
Kelly looked after our little boy like tou couldn't believe I never had to worry about about I knew he was been well looked after.
Our wedding day wouldn't have been the same without her.
She is lovely and so friendly.
I will definitely recommend her to all my friends but everyone at wedding couldn't believe how good she was and how happy my son was with her.

We hired Kellie to help us make sure our 2 young boys were happy and safe during our wedding day. We really couldn’t have asked for more! Kellie arrived to a very busy and rather messy venue accommodation as we had our hair and make up done. She got stuck in immediately and it really didn’t take long for both of my boys (1yr & 2.5yrs) to take to her. The day after the wedding my eldest actually asked where she was, so she must have made a great impression! Kellie quickly recognised we were struggling to get the boys ready for the day and happily found her way around the bridal suite for the boys nappies and outfits. Many of our guests commented on how good she was throughout the day. I had asked that the boys be involved in the wedding as much as possible but we knew how hard it would be to watch them effectively ourselves, Kellie listened to the boys and recognised whenever they were tired or hungry or needed comforting. My youngest is breastfed and I made sure to tell her I still wanted to feed him whenever he wanted to throughout the day. Kellie is really calm and approachable in nature and generally just a pleasure to be around. We absolutely wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again for any other events we may need support with or just general nannying if we needed help. If you’re not sure whether to go ahead and book, I’m here to say do it, you won’t regret the superb care and support.

Kellie looked after our 3 year old for an evening, when we were visiting for a weekend. We’d previously chatted on WhatsApp, and our little boy loved her immediately. Kellie was easy going and accommodating, and reassured us at every step. 100% recommended.

Kellie has babysat for us a couple of times now and our children have had blast each time she's been with us. She is friendly, reliable and brilliant with kids. I would recommend her to anyone looking for childcare and I know we will be using her again in the future.

We used Kellie as our wedding nanny. She arrived to very busy wedding day carnage and just got stuck in with little direction. Got some lovely photos of the kids enjoying the soft play. Thank you so much.

Kellie has looked after our little one for several afternoons - our little one (aged 18 months) instantly took to Kellie and loved spending time with her. Kellie is really great at engaging the toddlers in educational and fun activities - lots of creative play.
Kellie is also very professional herself - very communicative, punctual, etc.

We booked Kellie to look after our 1 year old daughter and 3 year old son for the evening of our wedding, I was a little worried as we’ve never left our kids with anyone other than family.
From the get go, Kellie was wonderful! So approachable, calm and kind, she came prepared with balloons and took my Velcro baby for a walk while I spoke to guests, she then took her up to bed while we started the party, while our son had a boogie who then joined Kellie for the rest of the evening, he felt very comfortable and safe with her he was asleep in no time
Our parents went up at the end of the evening to both children fast asleep and I got to enjoy the whole night without worrying if my children were tired or if they was safe and who they may be with
So glad we had Kellie join us as it meant ourselves and our parents were able to let our hair down! Would recommend to anyone!
Thank you Kellie!

Kelly has had my children on many occasions, 14,10 and 7, my kids are on the autism or ADHD pathway and Kelly really understands them. They are forever asking when they can go back to see her.
