My Summary
About Me
Hi! I'm currently a Linguistics and Social Anthropology student at Edinburgh University. I'm reliable and comfortable with short notice changes or requirements. I'm good at art and music and enjoy sharing this with others. I'm also happy and able to do light housework and cooking. I also grew up in Wales and speak Welsh.
My Experience
I have babysat my little sister, younger cousins, neighbour's children and also a lot of paid regular and one off babysitting, mostly with under 5s. I've been babysitting regularly for more than 3 years whilst studying. I have also worked a summer job at a children's English language summer school where I was responsible for the children's welfare. I also have a lot of close family and friends, including children, on the Autistic Spectrum, so I have a lot of personal experience with it.
My Qualifications
I am due to finish my degree in November. I have also completed a infant first aid certificate, and a teaching English as a foreign language course.

We are very happy with Emily. She did a wonderful job looking after two 9-year-old boys. She was kind, attentive and actively engaged them in games and activities. The boys really enjoyed their time with Emily. We would happily recommend her and would be glad to work with again.

I'm happy to hear they enjoyed it, they're both great boys and were very well behaved.
Thank you!
Great communication, super punctual, professional, and easy to work with. Our kid is a solid sleeper, so Emily stayed in our flat with the baby monitor and kept an eye on things while we went out for a celebration dinner. Our first time using this site, and it was a breeze. Thanks Emily!

My family and I were visiting Edinburgh, and Emily was able to help us watch our baby while my wife and I had a night out. She was wonderful and would highly recommend!
