My Summary

My Experience

I’ve had lots of experience working as a Teacher Assistant at a primary School working alongside Year 2 and Year 3 classes (children ages 5-6yrs & 6-7yrs old). I am currently studying many different homestudy courses to enable me to become a qualified Teacher Assistant and also to have the experience and qualifications to work as a Part-time Nanny/Babysitter. I have lots of experience babysitting for families looking after children aged newborn - 12yrs old. I have also worked as a nanny to a 10 month old baby. I regularly look after my niece who is 2yrs old and my nephew who is 2 months old and I also help out with my cousins children & my neighbours children doing school run collection in afternoons when required.I do lots of babysitting for children aged as young as 3 weeks old to 15yrs old. I have SEN experience and have worked with children that have autism and Down’s Syndrome.

My Qualifications

I am currently studying Teacher Assistant course (home-study), Dyslexia Course, I’ve completed and passed First Aid Course (to include CPR for children & babies Course), and a childcare course. All courses are home-study based courses. I have just completed studying and successfully passed my Early Childhood Development course (certificates are available on request).

My Availability

My current availability for childcare is Monday to Friday from 1pm-6pm, and at weekends. I am not available any other day currently during weekdays, just because my schedule has become so busy.
Please contact me via email if you have any questions or you wish to discuss further with me about your childcare schedule, especially if you require childcare on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays as these days tend to be my free days whereby I am available.

My usual babysitting fees are as follows:
*Fees babysitting weekends £14 per hour
*Fees babysitting weekdays £13 per hour
*Fees for nannying between £13 per hour, depending on hours of work and location.

I’m available mainly afternoons but can occasionally do earlier days pending on my schedule.
Please note that I do prefer to care for your child within your own home environment so not to stress your child/children, as children always thrive better and cope better with having a Nanny caring for them in their own home, where they are in their own safe and happy environment and have all their own toys and things they are familiar with.
Although I’m more than happy to have your child stay at my home, I truly believe it is so much easier for young children to stay in their home and be cared for within their own home and obviously I will take your child out for walks, outings, soft play, baby sensory classes, swimming lessons etc. With any nanny position I take on, I will of course ensure your child gets daily exercise whether that be taking your child to the park, taking your child to soft play or some other leisurely activity or swimming etc, I feel it’s important that when I have a child that I look after that I have at least 3 days each week, I like to take the child out to go swimming, or to the park or to baby/toddler playgroups (pending on age group), as it gives your child time away from their home environment to socialise with other children and to have fun.
We can discuss your hours of childcare etc. and work out a schedule that works for us all, please contact me to set up a meeting to discuss your childcare requirements further.
COVID-19 is still very much in our life’s for sometime yet, I am triple vaccinated (Pfizer vaccine booster done in November 2022?), and it’s very important that everyone I work with has been vaccinated or you have regular covid rapid tests to check you don’t have COVID-19, because I do work with children & families that have health issues and so Covid-19 would be very serious for some of the children I look after, hence why we need to work together to make sure we keep doing what we can to keep us all safe. Thank you.
Please note that I am also available to work weekends & evenings for babysitting, but I do charge more for doing weekend and weeknight babysitting (£14hr), weekdays evening babysitter I charge(£14hr).

Please note that I also charge petrol costs if you live more than 30 minutes from where I live BH22 area The cost for childcare if you live further afield will be £15.00hr if you live in Poole area or further afield..
I tend to frequently work in Ferndown, West Moors, St Ives Village and Ringwood areas at £13 per hour.
Please do contact me with any questions about this subject as I am wanting you to feel that you can contact me and ask any questions or concerns you may have. Ultimately your child/children are the most important and I will do all I can to ensure your child’s needs are met and that your child has lots of fun and is well cared for.
