My Summary
About Me
I've been supporting families for over four years, from pregnancy to preschool! I can support you with ad-hoc babysitting or nannying, and offer emergency childcare for those occasions when your usual childcare falls through! I am a doula, antenatal teacher, infant feeding consultant and run a non-profit parenting space in Holmfirth - I spend a lot of my time with ages 0-5! I am confident and comfortable looking after little ones. I used to teach Sing and Sign and am a practitioner of gentle parenting techniques. My own daughter is now at primary school.
As I study a Master's, I am available as a birth and postnatal doula, and also for ad-hoc and emergency childcare in your home or trips out within walking distance.
My Experience
I am a qualified and experienced doula with birth and postnatal experience. I am an infant feeding consultant, trained in baby signing, and have an enhanced DBS and paediatric first-aid qualification. I'm Managing Director of The Nest Holmfirth (a non-profit parenting space) and have a wealth of experience of entertaining and looking after under 5's. I am trained in baby signing, infant feeding and introducing solids.

Due to work and studying, my availability may change each week, so I cannot take on long-term arrangements. I can usually offer daytimes on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays, and also Tuesday afternoons. Occasionally I can be available for evening babysitting if it is a client known to me.
