Babysitter in Bargoed
My Summary
About Me
Hello, my name is Eden, I am 27 years old and I have nine years of experience working with children and have recently had my first baby 8 months ago. I am a kind and caring person who always goes the extra mile to help others, I have recently had my first child in June 2025 my maternity leave has now come to an end as of the 20th of February 2026.
I am looking for any Ad hoc babysitting so as of when but most importantly I am keen on finding a babysitting role with a family that is looking for something more permanent like twice or three days a week however it would have to be for when my partner gets back home from work to looking after our son which would be early afternoon. I am also looking for any clients that are open and happy for me to bring my son along with me to babysit to be on the safe side in case there were to be any occasions that I'd have to bring him with me but of course we can talk more about that if needs be.
I decided to finish my role as a teachers assistant to offer my own babysitting services instead in 2022. I have taken care of children of all ages, from as young as three months old, up to the age of 14 years old on weekdays and weekends. I have a full clean driving license and have access to my own vehicle. I charge £12.50 an hour, and I like to offer to visit before babysitting so that you and your children can get to know me a little better before anything is set in stone. I am happy for any DBS cheeks to be completed at the clients own expense. I also require at least 24 hours notice for any cancellations.
For an example for two years I had taken a role to do the school run from 3:20 pm -5:30 pm so if you are looking for somebody to do the school run and or want your children taken care of afterwards until you get back home than that is something I have done and still offer. I have finished accommodating this family's needs now since the beginning of April 2025. Please do get in touch if you'd like any ad hoc babysitting, school pick-ups, school collections, babysitting on weekdays/weekends, or if you'd need me to stay overnight. it's important that you know that this will only take place in the comfort of your own home. No babysitting will be carried out in my home and will always be at the parents' house.
I can take your children to parks, farms, play centres, swimming, any other activities, after-school clubs, and or places for food such as McDonald's. Please do feel free to get in touch and message me with details of what you'd be requiring, such as dates and times, and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

A short summary of what I do outside of babysitting below:
A bit about me, and what I like to do outside of babysitting is being a creative person. I make wire wrap crystal jewellery such as rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and hair accessories for both children and adults. which I attend craft fairs all around South wales and Cornwall. I also work for the Council in Cowbridge doing the odd workshop here and there teaching people how to make their very own unique jewellery. My handmade jewellery is also in two shops where it's available to purchase.
Jewellery making has also come into play with babysitting, so if you have children who love to wear jewellery or enjoy making jewellery, I am more than happy to bring my tools and crystals along with me and we can have a jewellery making session whilst in my care.
My Experience
My experience working with children with ASD, ADHD, Down's Syndrome, and Prader–Willi syndrome along with other special educational needs began as a volunteer in 2017 at Children's Play Club in the Blackwood and Newbridge area. There, I spent three years working with children from the ages of six to eighteen years old.
Following volunteering I worked with children and teanagers on the Autistic spectrum as a community support worker based in Cardiff, my duties included safeguaring the young person whilst in the community, picking and dropping them off to and from school managing their needs, creating and attending fun acctivities and finally assisting the individual to engage in social interactions.
My Qualifications
I have a level 2 childcare certificate and a level 2 safeguarding certificate. I also have some certificates from when I completed online child care courses that I did when working in schools as a teachers assistant and as a community support working in Cardiff.
I aim to achieve more qualifications as I continue in my childcare career.

As the title suggests, I really can't recommend Eden highly enough if you're looking for a babysitter. I have 3 children; female 14yrs, female 12yrs and male 10yrs. Eden is fabulous with all of them and my little boy actually looks forward to her coming over to babysit. Eden is super responsive to messages, always very polite and professional and I feel assured will set a good example to my children. I feel confident to leave my children in Eden's care for several hours at a time and things always go very smoothly :-)

Eden is truly amazing my daughter loves her so does my son. She’s so kind gentle and nothing is too much for her. Eden has babysit so many times now I have lost count, she’s even travelled to a hotel to babysit for us. I continue to use Eden as she’s so accommodating for us as a family.
