My Summary
About Me
Hi there,
I'm Joe, and I've spent the last 16 years supporting families with childcare, ranging from babysitting to teaching. My approach centers around easing children through challenging situations, particularly those involving anxiety, using distraction and refocusing techniques. My patient and fun nature helps me establish trust and build lasting relationships with both kids and parents.
As a CrossFit coach and personal trainer in the fitness industry, I am deeply passionate about promoting active lifestyles. I have experience running children’s fitness clubs and strongly advocate for outdoor activities that enhance both physical and mental well-being. I prioritize keeping children motivated while maintaining open communication with parents to ensure their peace of mind. Currently, I’m working at PureGym, where I continue to inspire young individuals to embrace fitness.
My experience extends to providing tailored support for children with additional needs, including communication through Makaton signing, administering medication, and fostering care and development in a nurturing environment. This role, while challenging, has been personally rewarding, emphasizing close collaboration with parents.
Prior to mannying, I progressed from nursery nurse to room leader in nursery schools, overseeing diverse groups of 25+ children. With a background in hotel entertainment, kids clubs, and holiday parks, I've led large and small groups of children across various ages, coordinating games, activities, sports, and parties.
Currently, I work as a Kids Coach & Outdoor Activity Mentor, supporting three brothers through a blend of fitness coaching, childcare, and personal development. Our afternoons often involve school pick-ups and outdoor adventures like cycling, exploring woodlands, climbing trees, or visiting restaurants. I also support them with homework when needed.
One of the best parts of my job is that I sometimes bring along Finley, my golden retriever, who the boys absolutely adore. He adds a lovely, calming presence, which, as you can imagine, always goes down like a storm!

Joe has been the most amazing introduction to our family, and it is no exaggeration to say his influence has been truly transformative! His patient, upbeat, energetic and fun nature are infectious and have had such a positive impact on our whole family. The boys have flourished under his care and direction. As parents, we have also learned from Joe - he knows how to build genuine rapport with the children (they are genuinely excited to see and look forward to their time together), promote confidence, while also holding healthy boundaries and encouraging discipline/respect needed to bring out the best in them. Our boys have met their match… Joe’s energy levels and positivity enable them to go out and have the most exciting adventures - from fun bike rides, to playing with their favourite furry friend (Finley, Joe’s dog, is the most wonderful, loyal and enthusiastic companion to our boys!). This is well balanced with meeting their goals such as successfully completing homework and daily chores etc. Joe makes this balance seem effortless! Whenever the children are in Joe’s care, we know that they are well taken care of and we have absolute peace of mind. Joe’s depth of experience in childcare is clear from the offset, nothing seems to phase him and he takes everything within his stride, this has such a great impact on us all and installs such a feeling of confidence. The boys are flourishing under his care. “Coach Joe” (as the boys affectionately refer to him) is a massive hit with our family and we genuinely could not think of a better person for the job … and beyond that, he has become a family friend - we can’t believe our luck that our paths have crossed!.

Coach Joe is fantastic! He has worked wonders with our brilliant and often challenging 6 year old, and has been able to help him to stay regulated and happy. He is always full of positive energy, and fills my son's time with fun activities that he loves. He is also great at ensuring that homework gets done, and good boundaries are held. My son loves spending time with him. I highly recommend Coach Joe for your family.

Jo has been the most brilliant addition to our family. Consistently positive, energetic, and full of creativity for playtime and thoughtful discipline for homework. He even created an after school club for my son and his friends where they all went to the park and learned ball skills and played football. Jo is one of a kind and we could not recommend him more highly!

Joe has been a part time nanny for my two children, 6 & 8 since 2021 and has been an excellent addition to the household. Joe is always positive and has an abundance of energy that the whole family appreciate. He is on time, flexible when plans change (and does babysitting & covered school holidays) and a good communicator. He is very active which the kids love. Unfortunately we are moving out the area and will be very sad to part ways

Joe looked after our 3 boys aged 14, 12 and 7 between 2016 to September 2020 so roughly 4 years and throughout that time it was a pleasure to have him looking after them and be part of our household.
He was always very patient, caring and kind with them and would always have a smile on his face, he loved taking them out to the park and playing football, riding their bikes etc.
Joe was also responsible for taking them to school, cooking their dinner and ironing their uniform, any family would be lucky to have him as part of their family as he genuinely brings out the best in the children.
