My Summary

My Experience

I have previous experience babysitting young children, where I’ve been responsible for creating a safe, engaging, and fun environment. I enjoy planning and hosting creative activities—like arts and crafts, storytelling, and music sessions—to keep children entertained and learning at the same time. I’ve also taught guitar to kids, which has helped me develop patience and a playful, encouraging teaching style.

Additionally, my mother was a foster carer for 16 years, so I’ve grown up in a home filled with children from many different backgrounds. This experience has given me a deep understanding of children’s emotional needs and how to build trusting, supportive relationships with them.

My Qualifications

While I don’t have formal childcare qualifications, I bring a wealth of hands-on experience and natural care. I’ve babysat young children, run creative activities, and taught guitar to kids. I also grew up in a home where my mum was a foster carer for 16 years, which gave me a deep understanding of children’s emotional needs and how to build strong, trusting relationships.

I’m responsible, nurturing, and very organised, and I’m always happy to adapt to each child’s unique personality and needs. I'm also open to completing relevant first aid or safeguarding training if required.

My Availability

I’m flexible and well-organised with my calendar, and I’m happy to work around your schedule to meet your needs. I do perform live gigs and attend rehearsals, which typically take place in the evenings, but I’m always open to discussing availability in advance to ensure a good fit for your family.

My Fees

• Babysitting from £13.50 per hour

I charge £13.50 per hour, which reflects the London Living Wage and ensures fair, quality care for your children. This rate allows me to offer dependable, creative, and nurturing support while remaining accessible for families. As a musician, I love bringing music into children’s lives—and I’m happy to include basic guitar lessons at no extra cost for children who are interested. Whether it’s music, reading, gardening or fun creative activities, I always aim to make our time together both enriching and enjoyable.
