About me

I am a qualified childcare professional (NNEB) with over 20 years of experience, supporting and advising parents throughout the key stages of child development. Beginning my career in London, where I had the opportunity to work with many families, to include several high-profile individuals, I subsequently relocated to the UAE where I have now lived since 2008.

I have extensive experience with children between the ages of 0 to 8 years and have also spent several years supporting families with multiples. During this time, I have studied Breastfeeding Support, Child Nutrition, Post-Natal Depression and Pediatric Sleep, all of which has furthered my knowledge and understanding.

Having a daughter of my own, has given me a greater understanding of parenthood, whilst also experiencing all of the joy and challenging times of parenting.

Sophie has created solutions that have always worked a charm for our little one, leading to a well-rested well-fed, independent and happy little toddler!

My approach

Each family will have their own individual parenting styles; therefore, I believe in creating a personalised routine and plan, tailor-made to your family and suited to your specific needs.

My priority is to provide support, advice and guidance to parents, to ensure smooth transitions in development and to overcome any challenges.

To identify and to understand a problem area, it is essential to first look at your child’s routine holistically, to identify and gain a clear understanding of their overall growth and development.

Once I have this information, I can then go on to recommend necessary changes in their current routine and a bespoke plan to follow, allowing your child to reach their full potential.

Providing parents with support and guidance during key developmental milestones, or in specific challenging areas, continues to be a huge passion of mine.
