Babysitter in Birmingham
My Summary
About Me
Hi! I am a 20 year old university student with various hobbies such as reading, chess and gaming. I’ll be retuning back to uni in September so until then I’m looking to make babysitting a side hustle. I speak English and Portuguese fluently, Spanish at B1 level and French at A1 (still learning!).
I can provide a reference if needed, just send me a dm! =)
Currently waiting for my dbs certificate by post!
My Experience
I grew up with two younger siblings (a boy and a girl) that I was tasked with looking after while my parents worked. As well as my two younger cousins (boy and a girl again) when my auntie moved to our city during the summer holidays. Given this, I have experience dealing with kids from ages 1-15 years old. I have experience bathing them, cooking them meals throughout the day, dealing with their meltdowns and such.
I also have experience tutoring them specifically for their science GCSE’s, I know how hard they can be given the fact that I was once in their position and wasn’t naturally gifted. Nonetheless, it was my favourite subject so I forced myself to learn. I did well in my gcse and a levels and now I’m looking at studying biological sciences at university of Birmingham.
My younger brother has ADHD and my younger sister has autism (severe) so I do have experience dealing with children with special needs and I do know how hard it can be trying to manage and regulate them.
My Qualifications
Although I don’t yet hold any formal childcare qualifications, I have many years of hands-on experience caring for my family members. I am responsible, very patient, organised and confident when it comes to supervising children.
I am willing to help with homework, preparing meals, and creating fun and engaging activities for them.
My Availability
I’m available all days in the week, except Sunday. I can also do overnight on Thursday and Fridays but wouldn’t be appose to doing it any other day of the week if told beforehand.
My Fees
- Babysitting from £11.00 per hour
I can offer a full day of baby sitting for my rate (and if you’d be willing to give me a reference/ review) as a trial for my first time working with you as I am currently looking to have more professional experience.

She was polite, respectful, and punctual. She was patient with my children and kept them engaged and comfortable throughout the time she spent with them. She communicated well, listened to instructions, and showed a caring attitude. Overall, I had a positive experience with her and would be happy to recommend her to other parents looking for a reliable and friendly childminder.
