About Me
Hi! Lovely to meet you and thanks for clicking on my profile. Hard to put my experience/skills into words but I’m going to try…..
I’m a 40 something year old who has been a babysitter for 25yrs+ as well as an au pair in Switzerland and am now a paediatric nurse. I have three children (between 8-14yrs) and am married and settled, I have my own car, I love to travel and experience new things. I’m a non smoker and very rarely drink. Happy to drive and go new places.
I love music and cycling as well as swimming and adventures! I love being by the sea and exploring with my own children. Keen to engage with contemporary subjects and talk about life as well as being a good listener and like having fun - keen on live comedy and silly romcoms!
I have 3 cats and a dog and a hamster, love animals and helping others. I’m reliable and flexible as well as kind, caring and empathetic, I can provide documents on request and look forward to helping you out with your childcare needs!
Happy to answer any questions and keen to help in any way I can. Can do short shifts or longer ones and really like to engage and play with children.
Currently I am available for evenings and overnights and school holidays. I do book up quickly so prefer advanced date requests if at all possible. Thank you.

Happygirlie looked after our 10 yr old son with ASD. She listened whilst I explained about our son's quirks (eg instructions needing repeating) and explained his routine and his visual timetable. On our return she gave us a full account of the evening - he hadn't cleaned his teeth very well (no surprises there!) he had wanted several stories, and a hug before bed (he won't go to sleep without a hug). Talking with him the next day his feedback was that he would be happy to be looked after by Happygirlie again - which for him, is the highest of recommendations. We will definitely be asking her to sit for our son in the future. 😀
