My Summary

My Experience

I have a wide range of childcare experience and am very happy to provide references. I have worked as an au pair in Paris with a seven year old boy and twelve year old girl, which involved school pick-ups, using public transport with children, helping with routines and keeping them entertained in French. I also worked as a summer au pair in Cannes, looking after an 18-month-old girl near the water. I am a confident swimmer and very careful and safety-conscious around children in or near water.

I have many younger cousins and have also done regular babysitting throughout my life, including under 1s. During lockdown, I was the main babysitter for a family in their bubble, looking after their two young girls, both under five. I am confident with no screen playtime, reading, activities, mealtimes, bath time and bedtime routines.

I have also worked as a tutor, so I would be very happy to help with homework, language practice, reading and general tutoring support, or to take on roles that are more tutoring-focused.

My Qualifications

I studied French and German at the University of Cambridge, where I received a First. I also have a training contract with a Magic Circle law firm in London. I have previously worked as a French tutor and am very happy to help with homework, reading, language practice, general tutoring support, and organising homework diaries or school routines.

My Availability

I am a law student so can work around you & do evenings / weekends

My Fees

• Babysitting from £16.00 per hour

My usual rate is £15–£20 per hour, depending on the number of children, location, hours and whether the role involves tutoring, school runs, evenings or bedtime. I am happy to discuss this depending on the family’s needs.
