About Me

Hello, I’m Marie - a fully qualified and experienced primary school teacher with a strong background in early childhood education and special needs.

I completed my BA (Hons) in Early Childhood Studies at Sheffield Hallam University in 2006, followed by a PGCE in Early Years (3–7) in 2009. In 2019, I also gained the NASENCO award (Masters in Special Educational Needs) from Leeds Metropolitan University and worked as a school SENCo for two years.

From September 2009, I worked as a supply teacher across various schools in Leeds and North Yorkshire, gaining valuable experience across a range of settings and age groups.

Between January and August 2010, I held a longer-term position as a Reception Class Teacher (ages 4–5) in a West Yorkshire primary school.

From September 2010 to August 2020, I was based in a small village primary school in North Yorkshire. I initially worked part-time in the Nursery while also providing teaching support across Years 1 to 6 during the afternoons. As my role developed, I led the integration of Nursery and Reception into a cohesive Early Years Unit, where I subsequently taught full-time.

I also held several leadership positions, including Early Years Leader, Phonics Phase Leader, SENCo, and Pupil Premium Lead.

Since stepping away from full-time classroom teaching, I’ve enjoyed working in a variety of part-time and ad hoc nannying roles. I’m currently supporting two lovely families — including one with twins — and continue to offer flexible, high-quality childcare.

Availability:
I currently have daytime availability on Mondays and Fridays. I’m flexible and can provide as little as three hours up to full days of childcare, depending on your needs.

I am also registered with The Yorkshire Nanny Company and primarily work within the Harrogate area. I’m also able to consider locations outside of Harrogate, though additional travel and time charges would apply depending on distance.

Please feel free to get in touch to check availability or discuss:
• Ad hoc nannying
• Evening babysitting, including overnight stays
• Weekend daytime childcare (subject to availability)
• Short-term or longer-term cover

I’m always happy to answer any questions or provide more details as needed. I take great pride in my work and have several strong references available upon request. I genuinely look forward to hearing from you and hopefully working together to support your family!
