My Summary

My Experience

While in school, I completed a year in college studying childcare and achieved a Level 5 Early Years Childcare Certificate. This gave me a good understanding of child development, routines, safety, and the importance of providing a nurturing environment.
Since then, I have worked within healthcare settings caring for the elderly, where I discovered a real passion for helping and caring for others. This experience has helped me develop strong skills in patience, empathy, responsibility, and working calmly under pressure.
I also have experience with cleaning, maintaining a tidy home environment, and helping to care for younger siblings, which has strengthened my confidence in household tasks and childcare responsibilities.
Due to my healthcare background, I currently hold a clean PVG check and would be more than happy to obtain an up-to-date one if required.
I am very maternal, gentle, and attentive with children, and I would love to gain more hands-on experience while providing reliable, loving care and support to families.
At this time, I am unable to provide childcare from my own home, so all care would need to be based within your home. I am more than comfortable working in family homes and adapting to individual routines and preferences.
I do not currently hold a driving licence; however, I am reliable, punctual, and happy to discuss locations, public transport, and travel arrangements to ensure consistency and dependability for families.

My Fees

• Babysitting from £13.00 per hour

My standard rate starts from £13 per hour. I understand from personal experience how difficult and stressful it can be to source reliable and affordable childcare, and I want to keep my services as accessible as possible for families.
I am happy to work at a rate just above minimum wage for one or two children. For families with more than two children, increased responsibilities, or additional duties, fees can be discussed and adjusted fairly but i am always open to having an honest conversation about budgets, hours, and expectations to find an arrangement that works comfortably for everyone involved.
