About Me

Originally from Lancashire, I am a third year Undergraduate Linguistics student at the University of Edinburgh with over four years of experience working with 1-13 olds. I currently have availability on most weeknights and weekends, so if you’re looking for a great babysitter please do send me a message about my availability! Please note that I am only available during the times stated on my profile, and as I am a student this may vary during holiday periods.

My Experience

I have worked at holiday clubs with 5-13 year olds, doing special activities such as crafts and outdoor play. I have also been a babysitter for toddlers and children aged 12 months and up, and have a flexible schedule meaning I can be an emergency babysitter if needed. I also have experience working with primary and early secondary aged children to develop their reading skills and work on confidence whilst reading, and this is something I am passionate about.

My Qualifications

I have an enhanced DBS certificate and have previous experience working with 1-13 year olds both babysitting and at a children’s holiday club. I also have a Grade 8 certificate from ABRSM in Singing, and would be happy to do some basic singing teaching with your child!

My Availability

Please note that I am a student, so my availability will change depending on my workload and I may have no availability some weeks.

Olivia watched our two boys while we both worked remotely from home. She kept them entertained and happy all day.

Thank you so much!

Olivia was very helpful with an emergency babysitting. She was very quick and responsive, kind and professional. We will be booking more babysitting in the future.
