My Summary
About Me
Hi! My name is Valentina, and I’m a caring, responsible, and enthusiastic babysitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. I believe every child deserves to feel safe, heard, and encouraged to explore the world around them. I’m originally from Colombia and currently living in London while completing my Master’s degree at the London School of Economics. Babysitting is something I deeply enjoy, not just as a job, but as a meaningful opportunity to support children’s growth, creativity, and well-being. Parents often describe me as calm, kind, and reliable, and I always aim to create a warm and positive environment for the little ones in my care.
My Experience
I’ve been looking after children for many years, starting with my own family, cousins, nephews, and friends’ kids ranging from toddlers to school-aged children. Beyond informal babysitting, I’ve also volunteered with several organizations supporting children’s development, particularly in educational and recreational spaces.
One of the most meaningful experiences I’ve had was volunteering with children with disabilities. I supported inclusive learning and play environments where children with different needs felt empowered and supported. This experience helped me develop strong communication skills, patience, and a deep understanding of how to adapt activities to each child’s unique way of learning and engaging with the world. Whether it was helping a child with sensory sensitivities or finding creative ways to encourage participation, I learned how to be attentive, gentle, and responsive.
My Qualifications
• Experienced with both neurotypical children and children with disabilities
• Trained in creating inclusive, fun, and emotionally supportive environments through my volunteer work
• Fluent in English, Spanish, and French, great for bilingual or multilingual households
• Undergraduate degree in Political Science with an emphasis on development and participation
• Exceptionally patient, responsible, and calm, even in unexpected situations
• Highly organized and respectful of family routines and boundaries
• Currently completing a Master’s degree at the London School of Economics, reflecting my reliability and strong work ethic
My Availability
I’m available most afternoons and evenings during the week and on weekends. I’m also open to discussing morning or full-day support if needed, just let me know your schedule, and I’ll do my best to accommodate.
