My Summary
About Me
Hello
I am Josie; a friendly, motivated, fun-loving, qualified and experienced childcare provider.
I have worked with children aged 0-18 for all of my adult life and have babysat for many local families for children of all ages and find the career highly enjoyable and rewarding.
I enjoy staying fit and healthy, often attend gym classes, socialising with friends and family. I also enjoy reading and baking.
I own my own car and hold a clean drivers licence.
I am childcare trained, first aid & safeguarding trained. I also have a recent DBS check which I can provide paperwork of.
I work for the NSPCC Monday-Thursday and nanny for a local family on Fridays. Therefore I am available evenings and weekends for babysitting local to the Trowbridge area; happy to travel within a 15 mile radius.
Get in touch if you think I could help your family!
Thanks for reading!

Josie came over to our house and looked after my 3 month old for an evening - this was the first time I'd left him with someone else other than family so I was quite nervous. She was very caring and adaptive to our requirements, and I'm truly grateful for her help. She kept me updated through the evening for my peace of mind - next time I need a babysitter, she will be the person I call!

We hired Josie to look after our 10 month old baby for our wedding and she was amazing. We met her before to run through the schedule of the day and so she could meet Lily. On the day she arrived on time and dressed perfectly so she fitted in with the guests but she was comfortable running around after Lily. Josie dressed Lily ready for her starring role in the ceremony and discreetly removed her when she become overwhelmed. We were able to relax knowing that Lily was well looked after and that she was enjoying herself. I would absolutely recommend Josie for any babysitting roles and if needed, I would definitely hire her again.

We booked Josie to look after our 18 month son whilst we were going to a wedding. It was the first time I was leaving my son with anyone that wasn’t family, but Josie was incredibly friendly and reassuring. As we didn’t leave near, she organised a FaceTime where we could chat and she could ‘meet’ my son. She was also willing to extend her hours so she would have time with him before I left. My son has allergies and Josie was very proactive in learning about his requirements. She was also prompt to reply to messages and was clear in her communications.
Due to a change of plans, we didn’t end up using Josie. However I would 100% look to book her again as I was very impressed with her professionalism, but also knowledge and kindness.

Josie is a dream! She's watched our little one (just shy of 2yrs old) for the past few months and I can't recommend her enough. She's engaging, playful, knowledgeable and really understands the secret language of toddlers! From play time to dinner, bathtime and bed, whenever we leave our little guy with Josie we know he's in safe and secure hands. She's highly recommended by me and my husband.

That’s so lovely to hear, thank you Lola ☺️ x
We felt really relaxed to leave Josie with our two toddlers at a wedding/hotel event. She had the children behaving like little angels and was really supportive in getting the bedroom prepped for nighttime as well as taking care of them for the full day and night. Children had fun and her experience and personality meant she was able to get the best out of them. We appreciated her flexibility as none of us really knew what the hotel setup might be like!
