My Summary
Babysitter
About Me
My name is Amee, and I’m a caring, reliable, and experienced babysitter who truly enjoys supporting families and creating a safe, happy environment for children. I’ve worked with children of all ages from newborns to teenagers and pride myself on being calm under pressure, nurturing by nature, and fun to be around.
I’m passionate about helping little ones feel secure, engaged, and valued. Whether it’s bedtime routines, story time, homework help, or simply keeping them entertained with creative play, I ensure every child feels comfortable and cared for while parents enjoy peace of mind.
My Approach
Children thrive when they feel safe, understood, and encouraged and that’s exactly what I offer. I take the time to get to know each child’s personality, routines, and interests so I can tailor care to suit their individual needs.
Parents often describe me as dependable, warm, and easy to talk to. I’m fully trained in first aid and safeguarding, so you can trust that your child’s wellbeing will always come first.
Whether you need occasional evening babysitting, regular after-school care, or last-minute help, I’m here to provide dependable, high-quality support for your family.
My Experience
I have over 15 years of experience working with children in both professional and home-based settings. My experience spans from caring for babies and toddlers through to school-aged children and teenagers.
I began my journey working alongside families as a babysitter and childminder, supporting with daily routines such as school runs, homework supervision, meal preparation, bedtime, and creative play. Over the years, I’ve also supported children with additional needs, ensuring each child feels understood, included, and encouraged at their own pace.
Through my Level 3 Childcare and Health & Social Care training, I’ve gained a deep understanding of child development, safeguarding, and emotional wellbeing. My hands-on experience, paired with my professional training, allows me to balance warmth and structure creating a caring environment that promotes both safety and fun.
Families who have worked with me describe me as patient, trustworthy, and engaging. I take pride in building positive relationships with both children and parents, always ensuring communication is open, respectful, and reassuring.

Umu is an excellent childminder. I have been using her service for about a year now. My son has bonded well with her and enjoys going to DDS childminder. She communicate effectively with me regarding my son and keeps me updated about his daily activities. My son loves her cooking and love exploring with other children at DDS childminder. She does various activities with all the children. And her service are reasonable priced and she is a very understanding childminder. Highly recommended childminder.

You never confirmed with me about price . I told you my price and you never agreed no reply. I never blocked you . This is very hurtful as i offer flexibility to all the parent who use my services. I have always showed up to my babysitting jobs. Please take this off as this is not fear to my service. I will have a word with childcare. Co.uk as you never confirmed with me and agreed to my price you wanted me to baby for less than charges.
Umu is an excellent Childminder , the things that stand out immediately are her professionalism and the cleanliness of the area where the children are cared for. Umu has been looking after my 9 month old daughter and she has been flourishing , its added so much structure to her day and I noticed an improvement in her eating and sleeping pattern. She also been encouraging her in developmental milestones and I feel my daughter has really benefitted from the increased tummy time , reading and activities. I am also really pleased with the level of communication , I receive pictures and lots of little updates regarding daughters progress. My daughter was also given a little folder which we bring home each week detailing her day , so as a parent I can have a look through and see when she has eaten , slept , when she has been changed etc. Overall I feel that Umu's service is very professional and I love the partnership that she has with me as a parent. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their child.

I found Umu earlier this year. And my son instantly took to her. She keeps him busy with different activities each day. He has learnt so much in the 11 months he has been there. He was shy when he first started but now he is outspoken smart and witty. Umu is a superstar. She’s always communicating and keeping you updated with your child’s progress and offers flexibility. Out of all the childminders I have seen I am so glad I found her. My son adores her to bits. They go swimming. Soft play. Do cooking. Learn so much. She goes above and beyond for the kids in her setting. I recommend her so much. Look no further. If you are serious about your child’s development bring them to Umu. She offers a range of food and always changes the menu. Her activities allow the kids to interact and use their critical thinking skills.
