About Me

! Please note that I am not a childminder, thank you.


Hi, I´m Marie-Louise from Denmark.


By profession, I am a certified reflexologist and Positive Psychology counsellor.

I came to the UK in Dec. 2019 and from January 2020 I worked as a Nanny for a single
dad taking care of his almost 2-year-old son and occasionally his 7-year-old daughter.

Despite the COVID outbreak, I was hired for a short period by a young couple to look
after their 7-month-old son, as the mother needed to recharge her batteries after a
difficult pregnancy and labour.

Then I worked in another Nanny position for two surgeons looking after their two young
sons ages 5 and 7 - (duration 6 1/2 months).

In the summer of 2023, I ended a position as a Nanny/childcarer working for an American
Air Force family (with an excellent Recommendation Letter). I worked for them for 8 1/2 months where I looked after their little 5 1/2 yr old girl.

During the summer of 2023, I had several short stand-in jobs. I was looking after a very nice doctor´s 9-year-old son with milder multispectrum Autism.

Then a couple, who very shortly visited Cambridge, booked me to look after their 6-year-old daughter with more severe Autism plus a baby boy.

In September 2023 I worked in a stand-in position for a couple of weeks looking after a little
6-month-old baby boy until the family went off to the US.

For the past 13 month, I have worked again as a Nanny/childcarer in another part-time
(live-in) position.
This position was paused when the mother and child I work for returned to their home
country for a four-month vacation!
They returned in mid-September and I continued my job until the position ended
on the 6th. December 2024 as the toddler has started nursery.

For the past 3 months, I have also been babysitting a little autistic boy whenever his mum
needs a little break :-)


I AM AVAILABLE BABYSITTING FROM NOW ON IF YOU NEED SOME HOURS OFF FOR YOURSELF BEFORE CHRISTMAS OR UP TO THE NEW YEAR.
Please feel free to contact me.


I have worked with many people from various parts of the world, within my field of work
and volunteering, so I am used to interacting with people of all kinds, ages, and cultures.

-I am also a huge animal lover, (dogs, cats) as long as they are well-behaved.

I am positive, empathetic, calm, humorous, honest and firm but fair.
I have travelled much earlier (and lived in four different countries).


I am happy to work short/shorter stand-in positions on the sidelines and I also do
babysitting occasionally.
- (A minor fee will be added to the normal hourly rate at weekends).

Looking after one child at a time is preferable, but can be negotiable.

I am fully COVID-19 vaccinated + 2 x Booster and am a non-smoker.


Thank you for having taken the time to read my profile :-)
