My Summary
About Me
I'm currently fully booked for the summer and have a couple of children starting school in September, so will have availability for 9am-3pm Monday-Friday from then.
I am looking for work as a babysitter/live-out part-time nanny. I hold BSc (Hons) Degree and DipHE/RN qualifications in children's nursing, with over 20 years experience within hospital and community settings. I am also a qualified childminder, but not registered. I have a current full enhanced DBS certificate, which is registered to the automatic annual renewal service. I have two children of my own aged 11y and 17y old and am looking for work to fit around them, during school hours and/or in the evenings/at weekends. I've also worked as a cover/bank childcare professional in nurseries across Warwickshire with an agency and then by being directly employed by a nursery in Lutterworth. Most recently, I have provided nanny and babysitting services to families in Rugby, working flexibly to meet their varied requirements.
My Experience
Over 20 years experience with children of all ages (birth-teen), including those with complex special needs, life-limiting and life-threatening conditions. I work for an agency providing nanny cover and for staff in nurseries on sick/holiday leave, providing care & contributing to the education of under-5's. As I did/do with my own children, I am very keen to take children to groups, parks, educational activities, classes/swimming, anywhere parents/guardians would like them to visit/attend within the Rugby area. I can provide regular and/or ad hoc childcare in your child's own home, depending on your needs.
My Qualifications
BSc Hons 2:1 Degree Child Health Nursing; DipHE/RN Children; Cache 'Understand how to set up a home based childcare service' (Child-minding qualification)

Harley, my 10 month old really enjoys spending time with Paula and he's all smiles when she arrives.
She's great with finding places to take him to enjoy his day.
Paula is great at keeping us up to date throughout the day with how Harley is doing.
We can really rely on Paula which is great to have support with no family in the area

Thank you so much for your kind words and review, Rachel! Harley is an adorable baby boy whom I absolutely love taking care of and having lots of fun and giggles with, he's a real pleasure to look after. I'm so pleased that I can help out, as I remember exactly what it's like to not have any family support in the area - I was in the same boat with my children when they were young, being from Newcastle myself.
Hope to see you all again soon! :-)
Paula is an incredible childcare provider. She is exactly who you want to look after your child: prompt, professional, experienced, DBS checked, first aid trained, the works! Our toddler adores her and clearly feels very safe and loved when she is with her. I’d recommend her without hesitation!

Paula helped me with my daughters aged 4 and 8 (plus one of their 4 year old friends) for several days in the Christmas holidays. All of the children loved her. She engaged them in a series of fun, creative and educational activities. The children were really happy with Paula and that allowed me to do the work I needed to do. I would definitely recommend Paula to other parents.
