Hi, I'm Bridget
I was born in 1988 and grew up in the rural village of Shurugwi in Zimbabwe. After having my son at a very young age, I came to South Africa in 2010 in search of a better life for my family who remained in Zimbabwe.
​
I have a passion for caring for babies and children and found a niche in the South African market to help parents in different kinds of situations to care for their little ones. Whilst in Zimbabwe, I worked as a nursing assistant and when moving to South Africa, I was fortunate enough to be offered a job opportunity in The Bub Hub retail stores, and so began my journey to where I am today. With the support of The Bub Hub, I was able to expand on my knowledge and I completed various courses with them including: Basic Household & Child Minders, Pikanini Sleep Course and Level 1 First Aid & Baby Massage. I have also completed my studies in Early Childhood Education through the Professional Childcare College in Melville. Most recently, I spent 12 months on the MSC Cruise Ships in the Entertainment Department working specifically with children of all ages, providing care and entertainment to a diverse range of families from all cultures around the world.
​
I have worked for families in Bryanston, Fourways and Rosebank areas over the past 10 years. I have cared for new born babies, multiples, special needs babies and toddlers - giving relief to parents who have to juggle full time jobs and parental responsibilities. Please read up on the testimonials provided by these special families alongside. Further contact details can be provided should you wish to speak directly to them. I am privileged to still be invited to these children's birthday parties due to the bond created with these children and their families. Watching them grow and flourish always makes me very proud!
​
With my many years of night care and day care experience, I decided to put together a very practical training for nannies in homes to help parents feel comfortable that their children are being left with nannies that have been well trained.
​
I am a bright and positive person, who loves to learn! I am passionate about children and every home I become part of is very special to me. I hope to be of service to you in the near future!
Testimonials
"We had the most Incredible night nanny working for us for almost two years! (We didn’t want to let her go) Bridget is a very reliable young lady who is always extremely willing to help at all times. She is trustworthy and happy and considerate in her approach to people and life in general.
She gave my husband and I the GIFT of sleep (while I was struggling with PND and a baby that just came out of NICU). He wasn’t a good sleeper and she helped put us into a good routine from early on.
Bridget is reliable, trustworthy, helpful, kind and friendly. She will go the extra mile for your family. She has got CPR training and a lot of extra certifications needed. Bridget is a hard worker and I would recommend her to anyone wanting someone that is responsible."

"Bridget has been our night nanny for over two years. She was the only one able to put my exclusively breastfed baby to sleep with a bottle and quickly became a very special and trusted member of our family who is adored by my daughter.
Bridget has all of the necessary qualification and her calmness, kindness and experience was refreshing in the midst of my first-time mom exhaustion. I couldn’t recommend Bridget highly enough and know that any family whom she works with will be so lucky to have her."
