Babysitter in Northampton
My Summary
About Me
I am a calm, reliable, and caring care provider. I understand how important it is for children to feel safe, settled, and comfortable, especially in the evenings and overnight.
I am patient, consistent, and approachable. I take time to build trust with both children and parents, because peace of mind matters when you are working nights.
A bit about my experience and why I do this.
• I have supported families where a single parent works night shifts, including nurses and doctors.
• I understand how hard it can be to balance work, childcare, and worry, especially when shifts are long or unpredictable.
• My own children are older now, which means I have more flexibility and time to support other families.
I also understand this from a personal point of view.
• After my separation, I worked nights and relied on a trusted night childcare worker.
• That support meant I could keep my job without the constant fear of something going wrong at home.
• It showed me how valuable calm, reliable night care really is, not just for children but for parents too.
What this means for you.
• Your child will be cared for in a settled, consistent environment.
• I follow routines, respond gently, and stay attentive through the night.
• You can go to work knowing your child is safe, comfortable, and supported.
If you want something that feels steady, understanding, and human rather than rushed or impersonal, I would be happy to chat and see if I am the right fit for your family.
My Experience
• I have experience supporting children in the evenings and overnight, when routines, reassurance, and emotional safety matter most.
• I am confident with bedtime routines, night-time settling, and responding to children who wake, feel anxious, or need comfort. (Having 2 of my own )
• I have supported children with different needs, personalities, and emotional responses.
• I understand how to offer reassurance without overstimulating children during night hours.
• I am clear with boundaries while remaining warm and nurturing.
• I take children’s safety and wellbeing seriously at all times.
• I am used to working independently and staying calm during quieter or more challenging moments.
