Hi, I'm Alex, I am a qualified nursery nurse and registered midwife, with an additional BA (Hons) degree in early years and childhood studies. I am currently undertaking further study in specialist practice. I am available for evening and weekend babysitting, maternity nursing and mothers help roles.
I am a friendly and outgoing person, I would consider myself flexible and easy to work with. I most enjoy building up trusting, strong and long lasting relationships with children and their families.
I have worked with children and families in different capacities for 12 years now. I started off as a private nursery nurse, a role I loved for 6 years. I then moved into community nursery nursing within the NHS, and then into midwifery. I am currently back at university completing my specialist community public health nursing training.
I have a full UK Driving license along with my own car.
I am fully DBS checked and have my Paediatric First Aid Certificate along with NHS Basic Life Support training which is updated annually.
I also have training in the following:
Level 3 Safeguarding Children
Food Hygiene

Alex is just great! It was super easy to get on with her and she obviously has a huge experience. I’m happy how she spent a day with my 10 week old and then provided a report. I felt that Alex is so in tune with me and my baby, definitely will consider her again when we need a babysitter

Alex is absolutely fabulous as a babysitter. She’s really normal, professional, has proof of all documentation and our children instantly bonded with her, which is unheard of for our lockdown baby. We feel completely relaxed when our boys are in her care. I highly recommend her services.

Alex has babysat for us for around 3 years now and she always makes it so easy, we are so lucky to have found her. We have never had any problems and the kids love her. She has dealt with everything from difficult periods of separation anxiety to recognising cows milk protein allergy in our 5 week old, we probably wouldn’t have realised without her pointing it out. Would recommend Alex to any parent looking for childcare!

We’ve have a handful of babysitters over the years and all have been very good. But she is by far one of the best we’ve had. She is an absolutely delightful lady whom I trust 100% with my 5 year old daughter and 1 year old son. She has ample experience, confidence, patience and kindness. The perfect person to have looking after your children. Cannot rate her high enough. :)

We are delighted to have met Alex through childcare.co.uk, this is the first time we have found a babysitter through this website.
Alex came across friendly and professional when I spoke with her over the phone to set up the first babysitting session with our 3 year old boy. I explained that our son is quite shy with new people and that we do not have many sitters, but we are looking for someone that can help with putting him to bed for occasional evenings out and overnight stays. Alex was very reassuring on the phone and it was clear that she has lots of experience dealing young children, including those who are more sensitive.
Alex arrived on time and took an interest in our son straight away, which meant that he warmed to her very quickly. Alex put him to bed and kept in touch to let me know that there had been no problems, which I found very reassuring. Our son talked all about her the next day and the fun they had playing before bedtime. It's great to know that they have hit it off already.
We have booked Alex for another babysitting session next month, which our son is looking forward to already!

Alex came to us as a morning nanny for a couple of weeks while waiting to start her current job. I had broken my leg and needed early morning childcare for my 6 month old and 7 yr old get them ready and delivered to school/nursery/childminders while I returned to my busy job after maternity leave. Alex is calm, competent, friendly and a joy to have around, she had everyone dressed ready organised and delivered with no problems, not always an easy task! She is also very knowledgeable especially in relation to early years care and gave me some great advice on weaning. We would highly recommend Alex for any kind of childcare.

Thank you so much Mahwish for the review. Can't wait to see your lovely two again soon! X
I'll be honest, Alex is a friend of the family, however this doesn't cloud my judgement of the quality of childcare she has provided for us. She has babysat for us on a number of occasions, not only through the day but also overnight.
The first time Alex babysat for us, was the first time I had ever Lola with anyone else before and was understandably a little nervous. However as soon as she arrived she reassured me and made me feel comfortable and at ease. As promised she sent me regular updates telling me what they were up to and how Lola was getting on.
Now Lola loves it when Alex comes to play and her face lights up when she see's her!
Would 100% recommend, I trust her completely and know from personal experience she is amazing with children. This girl has the patience of a saint, I don't know how she does it!
