Babysitter in Lincoln
My Summary
About Me
I am currently working as a full-time nursery assistant. In my spare time I listen to lot of Radio 4, enjoy baking and am also an amateur actress.
My Experience
From October 2024 to February 2026 , I worked with multiple different educational agencies, largely with EYFS and SEN children (seventeen settings in total - including shifts at five Storal nurseries and over thirty shifts at two YMCA nurseries in Lincolnshire). The youngest child I have worked with, as a babysitter, was just a week old, but I generally work with twelve months and up. I have babysat for four different families so far, caring for two KS2 age children, one child who had just started school, three children under the age of one and one toddler. I am currently working full-time in a nursery, looking to do my level 3 Early Years qualification, very soon. References available on request.
My Qualifications
10 GCSEs A-C, including Maths, English and Child Development; Three Humanities A Levels A*-C; BA Hons. Biblical Studies and Theology 2:1; Level 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care.
My Availability
I live in central Lincoln and am a non-driver, but happy to get the bus/Uber. Free on an adhoc basis evenings and weekends (please message for my precise availability/specific dates - my shifts are on a rota, so availability differs week to week).
My Fees
- Babysitting from £13.00 per hour
At least £13 an hour (may negotiate a little more/flat rate for extended/long overnight periods). Please note that I have to factor in the cost of my travel, as a non-driver.

Rachel was punctual, attentive to our little one, and very conscientious with messages and replies, keeping us well informed throughout. She was trustworthy, reliable, and caring, and we would happily recommend her to other families.

Thank you ever so much Jeff. I hope that you are all well and that I can help you out again soon.
Rachel has looked after our toddler and baby on a few occasions and we're really happy with her. She is professional, warm and great with both our toddler and baby. She always comes prepared with fun, age-appropriate activity ideas that keep the little ones entertained and engaged. Both children feel very at ease with her. I'd highly recommend Rachel as a babysitter.

Thank you so much Alice! :)
Rachel looked after our 8 week old baby and was absolutely perfect. It was lovely to be able to go out for a few hours without worrying as she kept up good communication and sent us updates and photos, which meant everything to us as new parents. Came home to a happy, calm baby and would definitely ask Rachel to watch our child again.
