Why Choose Me?
After working as a nursery educator, I am transitioning into private childcare to offer more personalised, one-on-one care due to an immune deficiency that limits my ability to work in large group settings. My experience as a children’s bookseller has further strengthened my ability to engage young minds through storytelling, reading, and imaginative play. I bring warmth, patience, and a passion for child development, ensuring your little ones receive the best possible care in a nurturing home environment.

I am currently seeking nannying or private childcare opportunities in Witney, Oxfordshire and surrounding areas. If you're looking for a highly educated, professional, experienced, and compassionate caregiver, I would love to discuss how I can support your family's needs.
