Becky
Babysitter in York
My Summary
About Me
I'm a 31 year old professional violinist and former SEN teacher with over 8 years of experience working with children as a nanny, babysitter and teacher (ages 0-16). I have just moved to York with my long term partner and, as my job as a musician allows me a lot of free time, I would love to lend a hand as an ad hoc babysitter!
I am a psychology graduate with a strong interest in natural health which lead me to become an accredited natural physician in 2025. During my studies and travels I have always worked with children, whether that be in schools or as a babysitter. For the past 2 years I have been pursuing a career as a violinist which I am really enjoying, however I miss working with children and therefore am looking to supplement my job with babysitting!
My hobbies and passions include music, reading, crafting and nutrition.
If you think I would be a good fit with your family feel free to give me a message and we can arrange a class or an in person meeting.
My Experience
I began my career with kids caring for a 19 year old boy with cerebral palsy. I would look after him on long shifts, making sure he is healthy, happy and cared for.
I then became a nanny in Australia and continued this when I returned to England. I was a regular babysitter for many years looking after kids aged between 0-12. My responsibilities included taking them to and from school, cooking for them, putting them to bed, playing and doing work around the house.
I then moved to Bristol where I became a learning assistant in SEN schools for 3 years. My job was to circulate through classrooms of children between 3-16 with varying needs, helping them to engage with the lessons, do their work, enjoy sensory time, learn music and play whilst providing personal care.
I have a lot of experience working with special needs children, I ran classes in Sri Lanka for 3 months for children who have autism and down syndrome where we would play, colour, sing, dance and learn together. It was incredibly rewarding!
Most recently I was working in Spain as an English language teacher, teaching kids between 4-13 in an after school club.
I have also been a part of a program that provides education to children who were asked to leave school in order to help them become employed. This was challenging but I feel really helped me develop communication skills, boundaries and teaching skills.
