Meet Meena
With over 17 years of childcare experience, I provide warm, nurturing and personalised care tailored around each individual child and family. My approach is child-led and Montessori-inspired, encouraging independence, curiosity and learning through everyday experiences while helping children feel safe, happy and confident.

My Approach
My approach is warm, nurturing and child-led, with a strong focus on helping every child feel safe, happy and confident in my care. I use a Montessori-inspired approach, encouraging independence, curiosity and learning through everyday experiences. Depending on each child’s age and interests, this may include play-based learning, reading, arts and crafts, baking, outdoor adventures, sensory play and age-appropriate developmental activities. I believe children learn best when they are having fun, so I naturally weave learning into play while supporting their communication, confidence, creativity and practical life skills. Most importantly, I understand that every family is different. I work closely with parents to follow your child’s existing routines, preferences and boundaries, providing consistent care that feels like a natural extension of home.

"Meena helped look after my toddler during a three-month long-term sit just after my son was born. It was our first experience using a babysitter and Meena immediately quashed any apprehension and nerves. She was reliable, trustworthy and clearly at ease around children"
"Very lovely babysitter. Was very understanding about having to cancel due to plans changing. She did spend a hour with my little one and she was very friendly. Would recommend her to all parents. My child warmed to her very quickly and I would leave my son in her care again"

"Meena was absolutely incredible with my little one. I must admit my toddler is picky and difficult with strangers. Meena was exceptional at building such an incredible rapport so quickly. I will definitely book a sit again in the future"
