About me

I find spending time with children life-affirming and energising. I am enthusiastic and enjoy playing childish games! I am able to be firm -- and calm -- when required. I am also creative and enjoy helping children explore their own creativity, which of course they do much better than adults! I have endless experience looking after children, including for friends and family. I live in London on a narrowboat, and love spending time in nature and being active.

References for Octavia

I have known Octavia for 20 years now, and when I have seen her around children of friends and family, she has been a very positive influence, engaging and fun while remaining very responsible

Isabel S

I actually met Octavia through my children. They love her. She is very jolly and bright, creative, confident, caring and a lovely person. When the children have been with her, they have played board games and done acting and drama-related activities and drawing. Octavia is absolutely a pleasure to have around and wonderful with young people.
