My Summary
About Me
Hello! My name is Bonnie,
For the past four years, I've been lucky enough to be welcomed into the home of a lovely family in Oxford. As their daughter has grown up, she hasn't needed a babysitter quite as often - though we still stay close and have the occasional evening together filled with swimming, cooking, and baking (always full of giggles!).
Therefore, I am hoping to find another family where can I become a big-sister figure - sharing laughs, making memories, and creating a warm, happy space for your child/children.
I'm bubbly, patient, and very active (I row and play volleyball). I enjoy cooking wholesome and healthy meals but I'll confess, I have a not so secret love for baking too, particularly Carrot Cake - my siblings say it is my speciality;).
Over the past 8 years, I've babysat children aged 2 to 14, and I've learned how different every family dynamic can be - from routines and values to expectations. I always aim to build trust with parents through clear, open communication and a flexible, thoughtful approach.
I've found that children often response best when I adopt more of a big sister role - someone who's fun, active and supportive, but also there to lend a helping hand. Whether it's running around outside playing sports, getting creative with crafts and Lego (screen-free fun!), or helping with school work, I tailor my approach to suit each child. I've supported children with dyslexia, ADHD, and autism, always mindful that every child learns and grows in their own unique way.
Although I've lived in Oxford for the past five years, I grew up on a lively family farm with four siblings and a whole host of animals - so I'm more than happy to be around any fluffy friends you might have!
You'll often spot me cycling around town, but I also have a full, clean driving license and my little car, Hugo, is always ready if needed! :)
My Experience
When I wasn’t up to my knees in mud, helping out on the farm, I attended boarding school, where I was honoured to be voted Head of the Boarding House by both students and staff.
This role included helping with morning and evening routines, supervising prep, and organising fun activities like swimming and tennis. I also supported the quieter moments - when a cuddle and comfort was needed during homesickness, sleep struggles, and reading bedtime stories (a must!).
It truly felt like being a big sister, and I absolutely loved it!
Since then, I continued working with children as an Au pair in both Italy and France, caring for multiple children at once, from toddlers to teens. Each experience was unique and rewarding - kindly being invited back to join each family again.
As mentioned earlier, I also continue to stay in touch with the family of the young girl I used to care for here in Oxford. Although as she has grown older a babysitter isn't needed as often, we still remain very close and I am invited to pop round to spend a fun-filled afternoon together.
Therefore, I am hoping to find another family to create lasting memories and a wonderful experience with! :)
