My Summary
About Me
Hi there! My name is Lora, and I'm currently offering my free time to babysit and meet your and your child's/children's time and needs as best as I can. I was babysitting alongside my studies when in Scotland, and I loved it, with every visit being rewarding and different. Now that I'm back in England, I'm keen to continue helping parents/caregivers/families however and whenever I can!
I speak English and Bulgarian fluently. I don’t have a driving licence, but I do live within Oxford City, have access to public transport, and love walking. I'm a non-smoker and comfortable with animals. My Enhanced DBS check/certificate was issued in July 2025, and I’m also a Mental Health First Aider.
My personal experiences of autism in the family have driven my long-standing interests in mental health and wellbeing, and working with children and young people. I want to make a positive impact on personal levels for individuals from all walks of life, focussing on person-centred care. I believe in helping individuals not only flourish in achieving their dreams and goals but also flourish in the present.
I'm happy to meet or arrange a call with you preliminary to see if I'm a good fit with your commitments, schedules, and family. Please don't hesitate to reach out - I'm friendly, proactive, collaborative, happy to answer questions, and I aim to be as transparent as possible. I look forward to hearing from you! ?

I spent 5 rewarding years volunteering and working with a local Oxfordshire charity dedicated to supporting young people (12-18-year-olds) and adults (18+) with autism, learning and behavioural difficulties, and various genetic conditions. I also have experience as a homework supervisor, teaching English, helping children read, administration, public health, and research.
