Babysitter in Lincoln
My Summary
About Me
I have almost two years of experience working with children and have also worked in healthcare. 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. Most recently, I looked after a non-verbal KS2 child, over a six hour period, supporting them with their personal care needs, as well as through times of sensory overwhelm and distress.
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. Generally free on an adhoc basis evenings and weekends. My availability changes quite regularly, so please message for more precise information or specific dates.
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. I do not expect travel expenses, but am of course very grateful to those that are happy to pay them.

Thank you so much Nikitha. I feel so blessed to have your trust and I so hope that I can work for you again.
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.
