My Summary
About Me
Available for ad-hoc childcare 2 days a week and weekends.
I am based around York but can travel further if needed
I now offer Mother's help and housekeeping - great for new mums that need a little extra help!
I have a great knowledge of working with new borns. I have looked after several new borns and supported mums with the 4th trimester. I have breastfeeding/breast milk knowledge.
I offer a second pair of hands to mums who just need a little help adjusting to life with a new born especially life with a new born and toddler.
Please message me for more details. I'll be happy to chat if you have any questions.
I love working with children of all ages but i specialise in children from birth - 2 years. I am fun and loving and love coming up with new ways to have fun! I enjoy being outside with the children and making sure they experience as many things as possible, going to Playgroups, trips out and exploring the world around us. I have a lot of initiative and are always one step ahead. I am very helpful around the house/setting doing jobs as needed. I believe rules and boundaries make confident, capable children and work with the child to establish what works for them. I am passionate about healthy eating and making sure children get the best start in life. Encouraging healthy eating by providing healthy home cooked meals and getting the children involved with growing, preparing and eating food.
