About me

With three children of my own and over 13 years of hands-on parenting experience, I bring a deep understanding of childcare to every babysitting opportunity. My nearly 18 years as a primary school teacher have further honed my ability to connect with children, manage diverse personalities and needs. Parents can trust that their little ones will be in kind, patient, and experienced hands. Plus, I have a vast collection of wonderful bedtime stories ready to make evenings extra special and ensure a smooth transition to sleep.

I have known Sophie for 18 years. She is a kind, caring, calm person with a great sense of humour. Sophie has been teaching in Holbeach Primary School for 17 years and has had experience teaching across the primary age range (4 - 11 year olds). I would have no hesitation in recommending her for childcare related roles. She is a very experienced teacher who develops positive and nurturing relationships with all the children in her care.

Sophie and I met 7.5 years ago at a baby and toddler group. She is an Early Years primary school teacher, and she teaches children from year 1 upwards. She has worked across all the years of primary school. She regularly looked after my children from an early age. She is a very calm, patient and an understanding person. She never raises her voice but still her voice carries authority with the children. She is very loving, very helpful to others, good at organising things. She's a good person, absolutely trustworthy and recommendable.

“Sophie was wonderful! My daughter is at the age where she's upset when we first leave but she warmed up to Sophie quickly. I loved how she brought books for them to read and always showed up early. Thank you for all of your help in scheduling. Will definitely use your service in the future and recommend to friends.”
