Babysitter in Portsmouth
My Summary
About Me
I’m a full-time student at the University of Portsmouth studying a BSc in Creative and Cultural Industries. Alongside my studies, I have over six years of childcare experience, having worked in three nurseries and holding relevant childcare qualifications.
I’m confident caring for children of different ages and understand the importance of creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment. I also have a 4-year-old nephew who I regularly spend time with, which keeps me up to date with the energy, creativity and patience little ones need!
I’m an active, creative and imaginative person who loves planning engaging activities, whether that’s arts and crafts, outdoor play, storytelling or calm wind-down routines before bed. I pride myself on being patient, kind and dependable, and I understand how important trust and communication are when caring for someone’s child.
My Experience
I have over six years of professional childcare experience and hold a Level 2 qualification in Early Years. I completed my apprenticeship in 2018 and have since worked in three different nursery settings, gaining experience with a wide range of ages and developmental stages.
Throughout my career, I have completed a variety of additional training courses and certifications, including:
• Paediatric First Aid (previously certified – willing to renew)
• Defibrillator (AED) Training
• Level 2 Food Hygiene
• Safeguarding Training
• Full, clean DBS check
I also hold a full, clean UK driving licence, allowing flexibility for school runs or outings if required.
My Qualifications
• BSc (Hons) Creative Media Technologies – Ongoing (University of Portsmouth)
• Level 2 Diploma in Early Years
• Level 2 IT Functional Skills
• 4 A-Levels (Grades A–C)
• 7 GCSEs (Grades A–C)
My Availability
As I am currently a full-time university student, my availability works around my lecture and study schedule. Mondays are typically my most flexible day, and I am generally available for childcare throughout the day.
I’m also happy to assist with school runs during the week and can offer selected afternoon or evening availability, particularly on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, depending on notice.
Due to my part-time job commitments, I’m not usually available on weekends. However, I’m always happy to discuss specific dates in advance where possible.
My Fees
