I have over 15 years of professional childcare experience, most of which has been as a sole charge nanny. I have worked with newborns and all ages up to teens.

I have taken parts one and two of a makaton course and I have experience of working with children that have:

  • ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)
  • Autism (ASD)
  • Down syndrome
  • Dyspraxia
  • EBD (Emotional Behavioural Difficulties)
  • Juvenile Arthritis
  • SpLD (Specific Learning Difficulties)

I have completed my doula training through Nurturing Birth. I am now a trainee doula and I will be until I have attended 4 births and worked with 4 families during the postnatal period.

I previously worked on a maternity unit for 6 months. This gave me a chance not only to witness births, but to also support mums to be and new mums.

Having a good maternity background enables me to be the ideal night nanny and/or Doula. I am flexible and will stay with you for as long as you need me to. I am available to support not only the mums to be and new mums but also your partner and of course any other siblings within your family.

I am happy do as much or as little as you need during the Pregnancy, Birth and Postnatal periods and am available by email, phone and of course in person. I have a friendly, sympathetic ear and I am available at the end of the phone for advice and reassurance. As a mother of 3 and a nanny with so much experience, I understand and can sympathise with you and your children at what can be a very demanding time.

I am a caring, confident person who is sympathetic to the needs of children and their family. I am hard working, trustworthy and conscientious in my work. Having worked with various age groups and at different levels of caring, I am able to provide families with a happy, secure environment for the benefit of all.

I can offer short notice placements to help you with all of your short term child care needs. For your peace of mind, I have public liability insurance, an enhanced CRB, a current first aid certificate, a child protection certificate and of course, excellent references.
