My Summary

My Experience

I have over 6 years of experience working in care and with children. I worked as an au pair where I cared for children aged 6 months to 14 years old. My responsibilities included bottle feeding, weaning support, changing nappies, managing nap routines, school and nursery runs, homework help, organising activities, preparing meals, bath time and bedtime routines. I’m confident managing multiple children at once and adapting to different ages and personalities.

Alongside this, I have professional experience supporting autistic adults, which has strengthened my understanding of additional needs, communication differences and sensory sensitivities. I am patient, calm under pressure and always approach care in a supportive, person-centred way.

I also previously worked for Kent County Council (KCC) as a Case Officer, where I developed strong organisational skills, safeguarding awareness, attention to detail and professionalism. This role required responsibility, confidentiality and working closely with families and professionals, which I believe transfers well into childcare.

Overall, I am reliable, nurturing and safety-focused, and I always aim to create a structured but fun environment where children feel secure and supported.

My Qualifications

I hold an American Red Cross First Aid certification for both adults and children, giving me the knowledge and confidence to respond calmly and appropriately in emergency situations. I successfully completed a 2-year Au Pair programme in the USA, where I gained extensive hands-on experience caring for children aged 6 months to 14 years old.

My enhanced DBS check is currently being processed. I also have previous professional experience working with families through my role at Kent County Council (KCC), which strengthened my safeguarding awareness, confidentiality, and professional standards.

I am committed to providing safe, attentive, and high-quality care at all times.

My Availability

Currently, I am awaiting a start date for my new role in a children’s home, so I have good availability and can offer flexible childcare during this period. I’m happy to help with daytime, evening, or occasional babysitting where needed.

Once I begin my new position, I will be working 3–4 days per week on a rota basis. However, I will still be available on my days off and for pre-arranged evening or weekend babysitting. I’m always happy to discuss availability in advance and try to accommodate families where possible.

My Fees

• Babysitting from £13.00 per hour

My rates start from £13 per hour for one child. Rates may vary depending on the number of children, additional needs, or late evenings. I’m happy to discuss a fair rate for regular or long-term arrangements.
