My Summary
About Me
Hi, I’m Emma! Originally from the US, I am now a Second Year Psychology student at the University of Greenwich long-term, with a genuine passion for working with children and supporting their development. I’m responsible, patient, and love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel understood and cared for.
Through my studies in developmental and educational psychology, I’ve gained valuable insight into how children learn, grow, and express themselves. I’m comfortable working with children of all ages and with all types of learning and social needs, and I enjoy adapting activities to each child’s personality and interests.
I’m happy to help with homework, light meals, after-school routines, or evening babysitting. Families describe me as calm, kind, and dependable; someone who truly enjoys spending time with children and helping them feel confident and supported.
I’m currently looking for part-time or weekend childcare opportunities in the SE London area that fit around my university schedule.
My Experience
I have hands-on experience caring for children across a wide range of ages and needs. I’ve supported up to five children at a time, including two 5-year-olds and a newborn, as well as preschool-aged children in both play-based and structured routines.
I also have specific experience caring for a 14-year-old autistic child, which has helped me develop strong communication skills, patience, and an adaptable approach. I’m comfortable supporting children with diverse learning and social needs and always aim to create an environment that’s calm, nurturing, and fun.
My Psychology studies have strengthened my understanding of child development, emotional wellbeing, and sensory differences, which I bring into every childcare role. I’m confident managing routines, homework help, creative activities, and calm transitions like bedtime.
My Qualifications
Currently studying BSc Psychology at the University of Greenwich, focusing on child development, learning, and emotional wellbeing.
• Experience supporting children with autism and diverse learning or social needs.
• Skilled in behaviour regulation, emotional support, and developmental play strategies through academic and practical experience.
• Confident caring for children from newborns to teens, including managing multiple children at once.
• Strong understanding of child safety, boundaries, and communication from both practical experience and psychology coursework.
• Willing to obtain a DBS check and UK Paediatric First Aid certification (first aid certified in America) if preferred by the family.
My Availability
I’m available early mornings and evenings Monday–Friday, plus full availability on weekends for both daytime and overnight care. Monday and Thursday are my main university days, with classes from 11am-5pm. Tuesday my classes run 11am-2pm. Other than that I am wide open and I would love to help with flexible part-time or occasional babysitting, and I can usually offer extra help during university breaks or holidays.

My Fees
- Babysitting from £12.00 per hour
My standard rate is £12–£15 per hour, depending on the number of children and the type of care needed. Weekend or evening babysitting rates may vary slightly based on hours and travel. I’m always happy to discuss a fair, consistent rate that works for both the family and me.
