About Me
I live in south Birmingham with my husband and our seven year-old son.
My Requirements
We are looking for trustworthy sitters to provide occasional babysitting on Friday or Saturday nights at our home in Selly Park, so my husband and I can enjoy an evening out once in a while! We are hoping to build relationships with a few sitters so my son can get to know them.
We have one seven year-old son who is autistic, so experience with looking after autistic children is essential, as is a DBS check. He is a happy and relaxed child, friendly, good fun, and very easy to look after, but he does require some assistance with using the toilet.
Allergy-sufferers please note that we do have a cat.

Ella looked after our young son, who is autistic, so my husband and I could go out for the evening. She was friendly and polite and didn’t seem fazed by any of his additional needs. Would be happy for her to watch him again.

Thank you so much!💕
Grace looked after our son (who is autistic) in our home whilst my husband and I went out for a few hours in the evening. She was pleasant and communicative and I’d be very happy for her to babysit for us again.

Thank you for the lovely review. It was a pleasure to meet you all and I enjoyed looking after your son & also enjoyed getting to know him. He’s such a sweet boy with the best cuddles. Thank you for making me feel welcome in your home. Lovely family.
Ella babysat our seven year-old son whilst my husband and I went out for the evening. We were quite nervous about leaving him as he is autistic and therefore does have some additional needs, and we hadn’t left him with anyone other than family members beforehand. Ella was very friendly and calm, asked up plenty of questions about his needs and routines, and sent us photos and messages to keep us up to date throughout the evening so we didn’t worry. We would definitely be happy for her to babysit for us again.
