My Summary

My Experience

I’ve been passionate about working with children from a young age and have been babysitting since I was 15 years old. Over the years, I’ve cared for children of all different ages, from babies and toddlers to school-aged kids.

I also have younger siblings who I’ve helped look after regularly, which gave me valuable hands-on experience in caring for children day-to-day — from feeding and playtime to bedtime routines. Through this, I’ve learned how to be patient, understanding, and adaptable to each child’s needs and personality.

I went on to study Childcare at college, where I gained important knowledge about child development, safety, learning through play, and how to support children’s emotional and social wellbeing. My education and real-life experience have helped me develop the skills to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for every child I care for.

I truly enjoy being part of a child’s world — whether that’s helping them with homework, reading stories, playing games, or simply listening and being there for them. Parents can feel confident knowing that I’m responsible, reliable, and genuinely love what I do.

My Qualifications

I have a Childcare qualification from college, where I gained valuable knowledge and training in how to care for and support children of all ages. During my studies, I learned about child development, health and safety, safeguarding, and learning through play, which helped me build strong skills for creating a safe and nurturing environment.

My college experience also gave me a deeper understanding of how to support children’s emotional, social, and educational growth, helping them feel confident and happy while having fun.

Alongside my studies, I’ve gained practical experience through babysitting for several years and caring for my own younger siblings, giving me both the professional knowledge and hands-on experience that parents can trust.

My Availability

I offer flexible babysitting hours to suit your family’s schedule. I’m available throughout the week, including daytimes and evenings, and can also provide overnight care when needed.

I’m free Monday to Friday, as well as most Fridays and some Saturdays, so whether you need regular help during the week, an evening out, or last-minute support, I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs.

I understand that every family’s routine is different, so I’m happy to discuss times that work best for you — whether that’s after school, during work hours, or overnight stays.
