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
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.

“Octavia worked for us during a recent stay in London at the Rosewood, and she was fantastic. Here is a review of our experience: Octavia joined us as a mother’s helper for a few days during a recent trip to London. With my husband away on business, I needed an extra set of hands for my two children (ages 3 and 7), and Octavia was exceptional. What impressed me was her initiative; she quickly learned what my children enjoyed and offered great activity ideas on the fly. Knowing my son loves dinosaurs, for example, she recommended the Natural History Museum. She also took the kids to nearby playgrounds to burn off energy and was fantastic at engaging them with games while we had to wait in lines for sightseeing. She also helped us navigate city logistics. She kept the kids happy and entertained throughout our explorations, making the entire experience stress-free. Octavia is fun, reliable, and highly professional.”

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.
