About me

Hello, My name is Polly Robertson. I am a Cornish girl living in London. Here is a little bit about me and why I love looking after children. I was born and raised in Newlyn, West Cornwall. My childhood was mostly spent getting mucky outdoors, paddling in the sea, eating ice cream on the beach and baking with my grandparents and great grand parents. Family is a really important part of my life; I have an exceptionally large one, and I cherish time spent with the children in my family as well as others; be that children of friends or those I have babysat in the past. I have babysat for many years, starting at fourteen for a neighbour's young children through to caring for my three year old god daughter Rio, whom I love dearly. I have experience in caring for children from 4 months to 13 years plus

I have worked with Polly on many occasions with children in creches at private functions. Polly and I ran the childcare for these private functions that ranged from all day to just evenings. We worked with children from 3 weeks to 10 years old. Polly is very patient and caring person. She will do anything for anyone and she adores children. She has a very easy presence with children especially babies. She is a strong decision maker and creative thinker which enables her deal with a range of situations that face her and come up with suitable solutions and alternatives which makes her very reliable when working in a team with her - you can always depend on Polly to make the right decision.

Polly, is a beautiful, kind hearted soul with such a positive presence when interacting with children. I have witnessed Polly interacting and in full care of my three year old daughter on numerous occasions. On one occasion Polly spent almost an hour teaching my daughter to use magnetic letters on the fridge to spell her name. She was so patient and gave such care when teaching her. It was lovely to watch. She always gives her full attention and focus when interaction with my daughter. Polly is a very bubbly, outgoing character in which all children seem to be drawn too. She has a very positive aura and will always put a smile on your face. She is extremely intelligent, focused and hard working and will never cease to make the best out of any situation. She is a wonderful person to be around and I feel genuinely grateful that my daughter is lucky enough to grow up with such a wonderful, positive female role model in her life such as Polly. I always feel 100% positive and safe with my daughter staying in her care and never have any worries that my daughter would be unhappy. My daughter always comes home happy with many exviting stories of her day with "Auntie Polly"
