Orla
Babysitter in Tameside
My Summary
About Me
A little about me - my name is Orla, I am 36 I have many years experience in child care including live in and live out nanny, for a couple of different families.
For the past 4 years I have been working as a registered children’s (Paediatric) Nurse and for the past year have been working in an amazing children’s hospice.
I absolutely LOVE my job!!
I’m really here just to see if I can find a few regular babysitting hours that I can slip in my month as a little bit of a top up.
I would love to be able to find a few set of parents that can call upon me and that can feel confident and settled there little ones are in very safe hands.
Happy to help when I am free for after school care, school runs or if you need a much deserved date night out with a friend or partner.
I’m down to earth, extremely trustworthy and reliable and like to think I am caring and friendly.
I love to have fun - reading stories with funny voices, making secret dens and generally just allowing my imagination to come alive whilst taking care of your little ones. When my sensible head is needed I am super organised, I like to get things done to the best of my ability.. I love to cook, I have a full UK drivers licence and I have my own car.
Weather you need someone to finish off tea,bath, bed and book whilst you blow dry your hair or just be there to sit on the couch and check on your little ones whilst they sleep I’m happy to help- and I’ll even tidy their toys away and put the dishwasher on!! ?
If you think I might fit what you are looking for or have any questions please drop me a message and I’d love to have a chat. Look forward to hearing from you and thank you so much for taking the
time to read my profile.

During this time i moved down to London and lived with the family. I had sole charge of a little boy from the age of 6 months to 2 years. During this time i did take a baby first aid course and a food preparation health and safety course. I prepared freshly made nutrition meals everyday and my priority was making sure he was kept safe and healthy at all times.
Mothers Aid Experience
I worked with a family for a few weeks. Supporting the new mother when her husband had to go back to work. I stayed at the property and helped with the 8 week old baby so that the mother could get some sleep during the night and had some help during the day. I helped prepare bottles, assisted with feeds and was there to generally reassure the mother.
Babysitting Experience
I have looked after children of different ages whilst babysitting
I usually come to the home half an hour before parents are due to leave and have a quick handover. Depending on the age I like to have a bit of play time with the children, reading stories, playing board games then a bit of wind down time before bath and bed. I have my own transport so taxi at the end of the night will never be an issue.
