My Summary
Passionate About Feeling Loved And Secure
About Me
I strongly believe that during the first 18 months babies need to feel loved and secure, that it sets the way they view the world.
I want to give them the same nurturing care they get from their parents so that they don't experience the trauma of being separated from them.
I was a full-time mum to my son when he was a baby and worked part-time when he started school. He's now finishing his GCSE's and ready to move into the next stage of his life so I'd like to use my next phase helping parents with babies to navigate through this stage.
I offer either a home-away-from-home environment at my house or at-home care. I will work with you to fully understand your parenting style, routines and individual needs.
My Experience
I have done a lot of child care over the years, starting with babysitting as a teenager and most recently fulfilling a nanny / childminding role to a gorgeous little girl who is now ready for nursery.
Over the past 8 months I've been a consistent carer to her, integrating into the family routines and offering continuation of care, giving her mum the peace of mind that she's felt loved and cared for when she returned to work.
I am now in the process of registering as a childminder with Ofsted through the Bradford Council.
My Qualifications
I have completed "Meeting the EYFS welfare requirements as a childminder" training as well as "Safeguarding Children: Early Years and Childcare Providers".
I have done a number of first aid courses over the years, including pediatric first aid and wound care. My most recent pediatric first aid course was completed in January 2025.
I completed my teaching assistant qualification training but didn't complete the formal assessments due to Covid, and then decided the formal education setting isn't for me.

Below are the latest reviews for Susan. Please note that reviews represent the subjective opinions of other Childcare.co.uk members and not of Childcare.co.uk.

Susan has been amazing, helping to care for my daughter at home since she was five months old both when I'm out and when I'm home but need support while juggling three kids, my work and studies. She even joined me on a residential retreat, which allowed me to participate in sessions without undue separation overnight. Susan is nurturing, kind and very patient, a "baby whisperer" with a knack for soothing my daughter to sleep. She has listened to and followed my preferences regarding all aspects of my daughter's care. She has taken my daughter to soft play centres and baby groups at the local church. My only regret with Susan is that I did not call on her in my earliest postpartum days when my husband was working a night shift and I was struggling to cope overnight! It would have been amazing to have the extra support from the very beginning.
