My Summary
Ofsted Registered Nanny
About Me
Hello, I am Sinead, Living in Forest Row with my 4 year old son. Originally from Bournemouth, I have lived in many different places including London, Glastonbury, Bath and further away in Dublin, Netherlands, Colombia and most recently Scotland at a eco village called Findhorn.
I am happy to settle here in Forest Row as I believe the area to be great place to bring up children.
I am a professional artist, and also a qualified Transpersonal Art therapist and Ofsted Registered Nanny.
Happy out in nature, love trees and the sea and being creative in all the ways.
I am a naturally calm and patient person, like to live holistically and with the seasons.
Have a lot of experience designing courses, from children to adults, so would be happy to help out with home schooling.
My Experience
I have been working as child care provider in different forms since 2010.
My journey started at a small independent childminding setting where I started as a childminder assistant, my duties there included designing and creating the educational activities, and I went on to become a registered childminder and then to manage the setting whilst my boss had maternity leave.
I went on to work as a nanny for a baby and toddler for three years or so as I studied Art Therapy. I helped with homework and school holiday activities and well as school drop off and pick ups and for the baby I was with him in music groups and activities in the local area.
I did also spend some weekends at the house whilst the parents were away.
I also looked after three older boys in Dublin, aged 4.5 and 8. This was an after school role.
More recently I worked in a Steiner School in the Kindergarten, I have a good knowledge of Steiner education and theory as my Art Therapy training was based around Steiner's theory. I am happy to bring this in as much as the family wants, including wet-on-wet painting etc.
I have also been working in a main stream school with special needs and mental health teenagers.
Alongside this I run my own art courses and workshops online and in person.
Of course, having my own baby taught me many more things about babies that I never knew before having my own one ! And every day being his parent and watching him grow teaches me more than most books can.
I am happy to have a chat anytime and look forward to meeting you little ones.

My ex partner and I had a need for short term nannying services from 12pm to 5pm every day, due to me having a last minute trip abroad. Sinead was wonderfully helpful on short notice to assist her while she was working with three small boys. She was punctual, reliable, and the boys adored her. She was everything we needed at the time, and will definitely call on her again for potential nannying services in the future.
