For families I work with on an ongoing basis, my support within the home can naturally extend to the children. This is not offered as a standalone nannying or babysitting service, but as an additional part of a broader household arrangement when it is helpful to the family.

Being a familiar and consistent presence means I can step in when parents need an extra pair of hands, whether that is spending time with the children at home, helping them get organised for the day, keeping them occupied while something else needs attention, or simply allowing a parent to step away knowing they are with someone they already know and trust.

I enjoy making that time genuinely engaging. Depending on the child's age and interests, this might include reading, creative activities and crafts, cooking together, games, outdoor play or working on small projects. I am also happy to incorporate practical skills and everyday routines that encourage children to become more capable and independent.

For families who homeschool, or children who simply need some additional support with their learning, I can assist with set schoolwork, reading, projects and other learning activities within the home. This is not intended to replace a teacher or specialist tutor, but to provide patient, practical support with work that has already been established for the child.

Because this sits within an ongoing household arrangement, I have the opportunity to get to know each child's personality, routines and interests over time. It allows childcare to feel like a natural extension of my role within the home rather than bringing in someone unfamiliar whenever additional support is needed.
