I have many years of experience as a babysitter and nanny, and have also worked as an integration aide, after school care coordinator, and early childhood educator. I love working with kids, and my main focus is on building positive, respectful and trusting relationships by being kind, patient and flexible, and establishing natural, non-punitive boundaries that work *for* the children in my care. Every child deserves to have adults around them that show genuine interest in their thoughts and their world, and who make them feel safe, comfortable and cared for. I also offer in-home support with cooking, cleaning, laundry, nappy-changing etc so that you can spend time with your children without having to worry about all the practical necessities of life that often leave us feeling stressed and inflexible with our time. Some quick practical points: * Currently available Mon, Wed, Thurs, Fri and Sat * I don’t drive with children, as I would rather avoid the risk, and don’t want you to have that worry in the back of your mind either! But I’m very happy to do walking pickups/drop-offs for school etc.
