About Me
My name is Julie.
I am an experienced childcare professional, having been an Ofsted Registered Childminder for 29 years before making the switch to becoming a Nanny three years ago.
I am looking for a new Nanny position.
I am also available for babysitting.
In the 29 years of childminding, I cared for over 60 children, some of which I am still in contact with.
I consistently achieved a Good grade at my Ofsted inspections.
I have three grown up independent children.
I am calm, loving, empathetic, patient and friendly. I have always enjoyed being a part of a child’s life and being able to watch them grow and flourish, sharing in their success and supporting them through any challenges they may have.
I am highly organised person. I would be happy to do laundry/ironing related to the children, tidying up, cooking.
The children in my care would love to snuggle on the sofa with me and look at books. Fun activities like arts and crafts, puzzles, games, singing. Older school-aged children can be supported to do any homework after school, by my being present and offering help if needed, whilst encouraging them to try on their own first. Younger children will be supported with reading and their letter sounds and any homework they may have.
I am still in contact with many of the children I have supported over the years. It is a joy to learn what they have accomplished and which road they are heading along. Whether it be going off to university or getting their dream job. They reminisce with me what activities we did and the fun times we had. I always wonder what they are going to say when I hear the words “Do you remember when …..”.
What my previous Nanny family said “It is my pleasure to recommend Julie as a Nanny. She has been caring for our six year old son for the last 16 months as a part time Nanny. I found Julie extremely dependable. Julie is patient and friendly which helped in building a strong relationship with our son. Our son is choosy and we were pleased to see Julie connect and develop a nurturing relationship with our son. Julie also helped our son develop better daily routines especially with his school homework. The approaches she used with our son to get him to comply to her instructions were effective and at the same time kept our son engaged. She is very committed to her job and invested a lot of time and effort to help our son become more independent.
We felt very safe leaving our son in Julie’s care. I would confidently recommend Julie as a Nanny and feel she would do a wonderful job for any child under her care” - Mrs R

We often refer to Julie as our very own Mary Poppins as the kids love her, she’s an excellent cook and she’s totally on the ball of everything, I’m going to be at a loss without her quite frankly. She is calm, kind and has a wonderful temperament with the kids so they really listen to her and love her to bits. Our kids love doing all the crafty and baking bits with her, but she also did reading every day, taught them lots of new games and activities, got them on country walks and many more creative activities. She is very sociable and confident, and so slotted in seamlessly with the mums and other nannies at the school gate which was a great help to me to stay connected via her as a working mother myself. I also appreciated that she set up play dates proactively and always went above and beyond for what the kids needed. She overall really cares and loves the kids, and that’s the best we could ask for in a nanny. She meal planned for us for family dinners, sorted all the packed lunches, uniforms and took the kids to their clubs. Her lasagna and roasts are the best! Basically I’m just very jealous of the next family that gets to have her in their life!

Julie looked after my 3 year old and 10 month old and she was simply wonderful! Julie is a natural with children and knows how to keep children of all ages engaged as well as feel loved and secure. My 3 year old absolutely dotted on his ‘aunty Junie’ and would impatiently wait for her to arrive as it meant a day full of fun. Fun aside, Julie was also able to instil discipline and set boundaries in the clam but firm way. Julie is also a fantastic cook and made fresh and well balanced meals that both the children loved! Sadly, our circumstances changed and therefore this employment came to an end but if I was still working, we would definitely have Julie with us.
I would without any hesitation recommend Julie..

Julie childminded for my 2 children from babies - toddler/3 years. She quickly bonded with them and had a lovely, calm, home from home environment. We were very confident leaving our children in her excellent care which was extremely reassuring when going back to work. Julie has a wealth of knowledge and experience and provided lots of opportunities for learning and outdoor experiences. She is very organised, reliable and creative and goes beyond expectations. Julie is very creative and often made lovely, sentimental Christmas decorations which we admire every year! We can’t recommend her enough and the children still talk of their days with her fondly.

Julie was our childminder for over 5 years and looked after both my very active boys in this time. The boys absolutely loved being with Julie, every day was different but with the right balance of activity and down time. Activities were varied and included crafts, walking her dogs, attending playgroups or even trips to a local farm. The boys formed strong relationships with Julie and the other children in her care and we were very sad when they started school and our time with her came to an end. I can honestly say Julie went above and beyond for us, if ever I had to work late she would be flexible to keep the boys without issue, she was also very supportive with issues pertaining to our family, for example my youngest was due to have an assessment for his school entry, part of this, at only 3 years old was to be able to write his name and count to twenty, Julie spent time doing this but never such that it felt like a chore to my child. Julie is extremely creative in play and experiences and the children would bring her wonderful homemade pieces of art. Julie is diligent in her knowledge and understanding of OFSTED requirements and kept me informed of my child's development steps with pictures and booklets. Fabulous, I would not hesitate to recommend.

Julie looked after our little boy for over two years, unitl he was ready to attend school. She is excellent with children. Julie opened her home to our little boy, encouraged his development and provided him with love and support. She arranged days out, took him to childrens groups and provided beautifully cooked meals. Quite honestly we couldn't have asked for more. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend Julie, her experience looking after children is second to none.
