More Than Just Babysitting
​
Leaving your children with someone else is a big decision, especially when you're trusting someone new.
I believe good childcare begins with understanding the individual child. Their routines, their personalities, what makes them laugh, what helps them settle and what they need when things feel a little overwhelming.
With years of experience working with children and families, including in early years education and supporting neurodivergent children, I bring a calm, compassionate and professional approach to babysitting.
Whether your child loves stories, imaginative play, sensory activities or simply needs someone who understands their bedtime routine, my aim is to help them feel safe, comfortable and cared for.
And for you? The reassurance of knowing your children are in experienced hands while you enjoy your evening.
Experienced, Trained & Caring. Your child's safety, happiness and wellbeing are at the heart of everything I do.
Alongside my experience as a mum of two and an early years professional,
I bring a range of qualifications and specialist training to my childcare practice.

A Little About Me
Hello, I'm Tracy!
I'm a mum of two, an experienced early years professional and a positive psychology coach with a genuine passion for helping children feel safe, happy and understood.
​
As both a parent and a childcare professional, I understand how important it is to know your children are in safe, caring hands. Leaving your children with someone else is a big decision, and I never take that trust for granted.
​
My experience includes working in early years settings, supporting children's development and wellbeing, and working with neurodivergent children and families.
​
I know that no two children are alike. Some are full of energy and ready for adventures, while others prefer quiet activities, familiar routines or a little extra reassurance.
​
Whether we're building dens, reading bedtime stories, getting creative or simply enjoying a calm evening together, I take the time to get to know each child and what helps them feel comfortable.
​
My approach is warm, patient, playful and respectful of your family's routines and values.
​
My aim is simple: happy, comfortable children and parents who can enjoy their time away with peace of mind.
