Hi, I’m Clare — a former teacher and tutor turned professional governess and VIP nanny. I created Classroom to Playroom to help teachers, nannies, and childcare professionals explore new, rewarding careers in private childcare.

With over 25 years of experience in both education and private family settings, I understand how overwhelming it can be to step into a new role. That’s why I’ve created practical, print-and-go resources to help you feel more confident and prepared, whether you’re supporting learning at home as a parent, in your current childcare role or attending your first governess or nanny interview.

You can find me at www.classroomtoplayroom.com, where I share weekly blog posts filled with tips, insights, and guidance for navigating your career in private childcare. From interview advice to real-life stories from the field, there’s something new added every week.

Many of the digital downloads here are the same tools I’ve personally used in my own work with children, designed to be effective, educational, and beautifully simple to use.

Whether you're just starting out or looking to level up in your current role, you’re in the right place.
