My Fees

  • Babysitting from £15.00 per hour
  • Childminding from £7.00 per hour

My fee is variable depending on role, length of time needed and if employed or self employed.

Babysitting is only offered on evenings and weekends, for a maximum of 3 children from the same household. I am happy to babysit additional children and children from mixed households but there will be additional charges for this service

Home childcare (nannying) is offered during daytime hours Monday to Friday 7am-6.30pm and is charged at a nannying rate of £18.50 per hour. I am currently full during weekdays. From September 2024 I will have availability 3 days per week from 7am-2.30pm.

I offer overnight and weekend care. This is charged at a rate of £18.50 per waking hours and £10 per hour when sleeping. If care is required for more than 1 full day/night a fixed rate can be discussed.

Unfortunately I do not have any childminding availability and I do not offered the government early education funding placements.

Sam has been absolutely amazing at every level. We couldn’t be happier with her and can’t recommend highly enough! She offers a family feel of love and care yet with a professional attention to detail . The children do not feel like they are at a “childminders” or with a “nanny” . Sam goes over and above the call of duty with activities, to high standard of food preparation, homework is completed and plenty of time for play and activities. She takes on board everyone’s requirements and absolutely aces the list impeccably !
We didn’t think we would ever be in a position to need a nanny , but Sam made the whole family feel at ease and confident with her care . She truly is a godsend and we can’t imagine our lives without her now . Ps she should also actually sell her homemade soup , she’d make a fortune!

Ahh what a lovely review. Thank you. It’s an absolute pleasure working with you and your beautiful children and lovely to have grown such a lovely bond with them
Already. I look forward to lots more fun and adventures with them as well as creating them lots more yummy dishes to try.

We have known Cherubch or Sam and Stephanie for over 3 years. Both, Sam and Stephanie are extremely committed, reliable, and incredibly generous with the children. Our son has attended full-time at Cherubch throughout his early age and during his stay at Cherubch he gained his confidence in his various development phases. My husband and I have seen their thrive in stimulating and caring environment Cherubch offer.
Sam and Stephanie are outstanding child-minder team. While our son was under their full-time care, they have constantly taken him in group with other children out daily on various adventurous and educational activities such as farms, visiting the ecological park, museums and many other outdoors activities. The different child age stages and interests are also considered when planning activities and there is such a variety. Cherubch team are constantly with constructive and positive energy. Always ready to help and to support us as parents with consistent update on how the day is going via online reports, development plans, and the photographs on all amazing activities.
On an academic side, our son thoroughly enjoys his weekly lessons with Sam. She is professional tutor and uses very effective teaching methods. Well focused in her job and she knows how to challenge and motivate our son in completing his learning tasks with confidence. She provides very helpful learning materials and maintain solid communication with us as parents throughout.
Our son adores both, Sam and Stephanie and he is always well excited every time visits them.
If you're looking for a recommendation for an exceptional tutoring, childminding or babysitting team then look no further than Sam and Stephanie or Cherubch

Sam and Stephanie have been caring for my son since he was 3 months old. I was SO nervous about sending him to a childminder, but all my worries were blown away pretty immediately when I met Sam. The love and care she and Stephanie show the children is unmatched. Two wonderful women with a house full of very happy and contented children. I would not hesitate to recommend the service.

Well Where do i start.

Sam was amazing from the start and my children loved her dearly as did we, from the start sam was very accomadating and supportive.

Her way of running her settings were just what we were looming for and our 2yr olds development increased so much so fast.

Sam was very nurturing and you could tell how much she cares for the children and there needs.

As a family we would highly recommend Sam for your childcare settings and we look forward to returning when i return to work.

Thank you Sally for your lovely review. I loved having the 3 children and miss them lots in the setting but glade to see they are flourishing at school. Wishing you all the best for the future and do hope you all stay in touch.

A real gem! Our 16 months old daughter has been going to the childminder for a month. It's hard to leave your own baby to be with someone else, but we couldn't dream of a better experience! Our little one used to be clingy and shy, and it is so great to see her gaining confidence and becoming more and more independent and positive so quickly. The days are very varied- drawing, learning, playing, swinging at the park, going to the children's centre, doing arts and crafts, nature walks, even cooking! She doesn't cry when I say bye and leave her with the childminder in the morning. Moreover, on the days we are at home, she keeps asking me about her nanny and new friends there ) Very happy indeed.
