At Pro Nannies, our goal is to provide exceptional childcare that supports families and nurtures children’s growth in every way. Bethany, Pro Nannies co-founder, is in the field of early childhood education, bringing over a decade of hands-on experience and academic knowledge to our foundation. Let’s explore Bethany’s journey and her contribution to shaping the Pro Nannies approach.


A Strong Academic Foundation in Early Childhood Studies

Bethany’s passion for early childhood development led her to complete a BA (Hons) in Early Childhood Studies at the University of Portsmouth. Her degree laid the groundwork for her deep understanding of children’s learning processes, developmental milestones, and the importance of nurturing environments in the early years.

Building on this, Bethany went on to achieve a MRes Humanities and Social Sciences (with distinction) from the same university; her research focused on free-flow play and early years policy in England, exploring how child-led play promotes independence and creativity in young children.


With over 10 years of professional experience in childcare, Bethany has worked in nurseries and as a private nanny across the UK, the Middle East, and Australia. This international experience gives her a unique perspective on childcare practices, helping her adapt to diverse family needs and cultural expectations. Whether it's supporting families in different time zones or working with children of various backgrounds, Bethany’s experience contributes to how Pro Nannies understands the complexities of modern childcare.


A Champion for Free-Flow Play

One of Bethany’s core areas of expertise is free-flow play, a child-led approach where children are encouraged to move freely between indoor and outdoor activities, exploring their surroundings at their own pace. This method fosters independence, decision-making, and creativity—all essential skills for young children. Pro Nannies integrates this philosophy into its childcare service, ensuring that nannies understand the importance of fostering children’s natural curiosity through play.


Bethany’s Role as a Pro Nannies Founder

As one of Pro Nannies' founders, Bethany helped establish a foundation rooted in creating nurturing, balanced home environments. Her contributions can be seen in Pro Nannies' commitment to thoughtful childcare.
