Babysitter in Portsmouth
My Summary
About Me
Hi! I am reliable, friendly and experienced in childcare. I help to support children with daily routines that you as parents have given them. I am happy to help with the following:
School pick-ups and after-school care.
Preparing dinner using food provided by parents.
Helping with homework.
Supervising playtime and engaging children in age-appropriate activities.
Taking children to the park and on local outings.
Managing bedtime routines and settling children for the night.
Doing small grocery shops if needed (local/within walking distance).
Staying late or overnight and waiting for parents to return home - would need a bed provided if choosing overnight care.
I aim to help children feel comfortable and cared for in their environment as I understand it can be daunting to have a stranger in their home.
My Experience
I have experience in caring for both toddlers and primary-aged children.
Before coming to university I would often babysit for family friends, helping with dinner, play activities and bedtime. I would ensure that they were eating and in bed at the appropriate times the parents had given me. References are available on request.
I have also spent time in both mainstream and SEND schools assisting in classroom learning. I also complete a weekly placement every Tuesday at a primary school as part of my university degree where I continue to gain experience working with children.
