My Summary
About Me
Hi-ya!
My BABYSITTING style is to get out & about exploring and playing, looking at & chatting about things on nature walks, going to playparks & museums. I was brought up absorbed in a lot of nature facts & folklore and I love to share this with the children. I enjoy encouraging the children to learn new skills such as going on the slide safely or riding a balance bike.
During evening babysitting duties I am happy to watch some tv or read a book and to check on your children (frequency at parents/childs request & trusting my own gut instinct) to ensure they are safe & sound.
I always request children’s personal information & 3 emergency contacts in case of an extremely rare event of anything unexpected arising.
My Experience
I have 4 children & 2 grandchildren.
I have been a homemaker, a pet owner, a mother, a carer, previously a registered childcarer, previously a registered care assistant for the elderly & disabled experienced in the community & in a care home, baby massage instructor, a massage therapist for adults, a private house cleaner, a private parents helper, previously sold baked goods at a market stall & as a homemaker I am a reasonably good cook.

Been let down by a few other babysitters and gave Michelle a message as a last effort to have someone reliable and trustworthy on hand. She made me feel at ease immediately and was very professional, totally fits the bill. Cannot wait to have her round again, feel like I have a little piece of my own life back and no longer stress about arranging reliable childcare when needed. So Thank you Michelle!!! 🥰

Thankyou so much for your kind review!
She is a lovely fun blessing to us all.
Michele is a wonderful childminder, she is highly professional, conscientious and caring. I have found that children love her genlte, playful nature. Michele is very kind, and well experienced with children of all ages and I know my children are always in safe hands when she minds them. I am very lucky to have found Michele to look after my children when I need her to, she is very flexible and always tries her best to accommodate our needs.

Thankyou for this heartwarming review!
The boys are lovely friendly active children, full of giggles! Such fun to care for. Looking forward to more fun times ahead.
Michele has been minding my child for more than a year now. We’ve had a very positive experience with her. My child loves going to her and enjoys all the activities Michele plans. Michele sends us pictures during childminding sessions of the child getting along so well and happy. She is very friendly,organised and follows a child-centered approach.She lets us know via text or call of she’s running late to bring back the child, which is very rare. She is very much reliable. She is flexible with timings and happy to mind at short notice when suits.I strongly reccommend Michele to anyone who is looking for a childminder whom you can trust.
