My Availability

I am available for childcare in Skelmersdale and the surrounding areas during evenings and on weekends. I work in a school setting until 5pm on weekdays, so weekday availability is limited to after this time. I can offer weekend care, though not every weekend, and I’m happy to discuss specific days that work best for you.

If there are certain days you need and appear as not available, please reach out and we can discuss this.

My Fees

• Babysitting from £12.00 per hour
• Tutoring from £30.00 per hour

Childcare Rates
My standard rate for childcare is £12–£15 per hour for one child, depending on the level of care required, with the higher rate usually applying for evenings and weekends. For additional children, a small extra charge per hour applies to reflect the added responsibility. I’m happy to discuss exact rates based on your family’s needs.

Transport
I’m happy to use my car to take children on outings. I hold appropriate business insurance for this. If transport is required, a small additional charge to cover petrol/travel costs will apply (e.g., 45p per mile, in line with HMRC mileage rates), which we can agree in advance.

Tutoring Rates
I offer one-to-one tutoring in primary maths and English, Functional Skills, and all levels of art, creating sessions that are engaging, practical, and tailored to each child’s needs. My tutoring rates are £35–£40 per hour, depending on the level of support required. For example, £35/hour is for general primary support or creative/art-based sessions, while £40/hour reflects additional support needs or more structured Functional Skills tutoring. I’m happy to discuss packages for regular or longer sessions to suit your family.
