Babysitter in Brighton
My Summary
About Me
Hi, I'm a warm, reliable, and highly experienced babysitter based right here in Brighton. As a mother of two wonderful daughters (one now at college and the other at university), I know firsthand exactly how much trust it takes to leave your children with someone else. My goal is always to give you total peace of mind, whether you are stepping out for a well-deserved date night or need weekend cover.
Over the years, I have gained extensive hands-on experience caring for children across all age groups—from newborns and tiny infants to busy toddlers and primary school age. I’m comfortable with everything from the gentle care a baby needs to managing bedtime routines, preparing light meals, or helping wind down after a busy week.
My Availability:
I specialize in evening, weekend, and overnight care. Because I am locally based, I am very happy to cover Brighton and the surrounding local areas. I am also happy to accept late-notice or short-notice bookings.
Why choose me?
Parent-Approved Experience: 16+ years of personal parenting experience across every developmental stage.
Responsible & Mature: I pride myself on being deeply responsible, punctual, and highly attentive to safety and comfort.
Flexible & Local: Ready to step in for an evening, a full weekend, or an overnight stay so you can completely relax.
If you are looking for a calm, dependable, and capable safe pair of hands for your children, please do get in touch. I’d love to chat about how I can support your family!
My Experience
My deepest and most valuable experience comes from raising my own two daughters, who are now independent young women at college and university. Having guided them through every single developmental stage, I have a wealth of practical, real-world knowledge that can't be learned from a textbook.
Here is a breakdown of the specific age groups and stages I am highly experienced and comfortable with:
Newborns & Infants: I am entirely confident with the delicate nature of newborn care. I understand the importance of strict feeding schedules, safe sleeping practices, soothing techniques for colic or teething, and managing the gentle routines needed for tiny babies.
Toddlers (1–3 years): I know how much energy and alertness it takes to keep up with toddlers! I am experienced in creating safe environments for exploring, managing the transition to solid foods, handling tantrums with patience, and keeping them engaged with fun, age-appropriate play.
Primary School Age (4–11 years): I am well-versed in the routines of school-aged children. I am happy to help with evening reading, homework support, preparing healthy tea-time meals, and establishing calm, stress-free bedtime routines so they feel secure while you are out.
A Calm and Instinctive Approach
Because I have "been there and done it" as a mother, I have an instinctive understanding of children's needs. I know how to read the signs of tiredness, how to keep a household calm in the evenings, and above all, how to maintain a safe, warm, and structured environment. You can go out for the evening or weekend knowing that your home and your children are in experienced, capable, and nurturing hands.
My Qualifications
"16+ Years of Practical Parenting Experience"
While I do not hold formal classroom childcare qualifications, I have over 16 years of hands-on, real-world qualification from successfully raising my own two daughters from newborns through to young adults. I offer practical common sense, a mature outlook, and a deep, instinctive understanding of children's needs that only comes from being a mother.
