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.
Also available on Babysits.
My Experience
As an agency member of staff in schools and nurseries, I worked across eighteen different settings across the county. I have worked for seven different families as a babysitter (the youngest was just a week old and the oldest, eleven years). I have experience with very little babies and also those with additional needs. Working with children is truly my vocation. I am happy to provide my CV and references on request.
My Qualifications
BA (Hons.) Biblical Studies and Theology; Level 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care; currently working towards a Level 2 Certificate in Understanding Distressed Behaviour in Children.
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 (unless of course you are willing to pay travel expenses).

Rachel has been a fantastic babysitter to my 5 year old daughter and now my new baby.
She is very knowledgeable in all things child care and provides a full service, including preparing tasty, nutritious meals, to reading bedtime stories.
My daughter is always very excited for when I go out and Rachel's services are required.
Rachel has worked with my family for around 3 years and I can highly recommend her services.

Thank you Lynsey. It is an honour to have your trust. 🙏
We are a neurodivergent family, I have 4 children with high needs including a 1 year old with poor mobility. Upon meeting Rachel for the first time, I knew she would be a great fit for our family. She has extensive knowledge and experience of neurodivergence, she’s non-judgemental, understanding, genuinely cares about the children and families she works for and it shows in how much my kids and myself adore her! She is an absolute godsend for me as my only respite and I would highly recommend her. I know my children are safe, well cared for and have had a good time in my absence and I couldn’t thank her enough 😊
