My Summary

My Experience

I hold a degree in Psychology and a Master’s in Applied Psychology and Psychological Therapies, giving me a strong foundation in understanding child development, behaviour, and emotional well-being. Since 2020, I have been working in Positive Behaviour Support, supporting both children and vulnerable adults with learning disabilities, complex needs, and behaviours that may challenge. My work has equipped me with skills in developing tailored strategies to promote safety, independence, and positive outcomes. I am NISCC registered, trained in safeguarding, first aid, autism awareness, and PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System) to name a few, and I continue to build on my professional development through ongoing training. With my own car and a flexible approach, I can reliably support families and adapt to a wide range of needs, always ensuring a safe, understanding, and nurturing environment.

My Availability

My availability is flexible but varies from week to week due to other professional commitments. I’m happy to schedule babysitting services up to seven weeks in advance to help families plan ahead. While I’m not currently able to offer a regular full-time service, I’d be delighted to help out whenever my schedule allows — whether it’s during the day, in the evenings, on weekends, or for special events.

My Fees

• Babysitting from £14.00 per hour

My standard rate is £14–£16 per hour, reflecting my professional training, specialist experience, and the high level of care I provide. Rates may vary slightly depending on the level of support required or the time of day. Bank holidays and short-notice bookings may be charged at a slightly higher rate.
