Meet Jo
Every family deserves peace of mind, and for me, providing that care has been my life’s work. As a mother to two grown sons and a proud grandmother, I know firsthand the joys, challenges, and absolute trust it takes to welcome someone into your child’s life.
With over 40 years of experience caring for children from newborns upwards, my journey has taken me to some wonderful places. One of my favourite chapters was working in London as a nanny for two Italian psychiatrists, looking after their vibrant two-year-old boy. Experiences like that taught me that while every family’s dynamic is unique, the core need for nurturing, reliable, and deeply attentive care remains the same.
Today, through Executive Babysitting, I continue to offer that same standard of care to families. When you work with me, you are not just hiring a service—you are gaining decades of real-world experience, a grandmother’s warmth, and a professional dedication to helping your little ones thrive.
