ABOUT ME:
I love working with families, I am experienced with children, young people and multiples from birth to teen, with and without SEND

Part time availability and occasional childcare, emergency or respite care - please message me if you would like to discuss your requirements

If you are looking for full time help, do still message me as I may be able to help, or recommend someone depending on your exact requirements and with a little flexibility…

Wrap around care is in high demand - I am quite booked up before and after school but if two families have similar requirements in the same area or at the same school I can care for two families (nanny share)

*Taking bookings for Wedding and Event Nannying and babysitting into 2025 and 2026 for Bespoke wedding childcare, and guest chaperoning (for example if you have a guest that is elderly, disabled, or a teen/young person that needs a little or a lot of support)

*Soft play and bouncy castle hire available - white/neutral or a range of mixed bright coloured sets - on FB see ‘Monster mischief soft play hire’*

*Holiday Nanny - I can be your extra set of hands/eyes - sole charge or shared care - I love to travel*

*Proxy parenting - I can take care of anything and everything child related so you can fully relax and/or focus if you are away on a break/holiday/work trip/honeymoon etc*

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 :)
