About Me

Hii, my name is Lynn. I am 22 years old and I have recently finished university in Portsmouth. I grew up in Zimbabwe, Tanzania, and Ghana, and I come from a close family where I was often around younger siblings and cousins. As one of the oldest, I naturally took on the role of looking after them, helping with meals, keeping them entertained, and making sure they were safe and cared for. This is where most of my babysitting and childcare experience comes from.?

I genuinely love looking after children and building a kind, trusting bond with them. I enjoy seeing children grow in confidence, learn new things, and feel comfortable enough to be themselves. I would describe myself as caring, patient, emotionally aware, and responsible. I believe my emotional intelligence helps me understand children better, especially when they need comfort, patience, space, or gentle guidance.

I also understand how important boundaries are, especially with older children. I know that being watched over should never feel like their personal space is being invaded, so I always try to create a balance between keeping children safe and allowing them to feel respected and independent.

I am confident in my ability to care for children and I have already completed a background check. I can also cook and I genuinely enjoy preparing meals. I am not much of a baker, but I do love having fun with food and making mealtimes enjoyable.

I would be more than happy to look after your children!!

I am happy to discuss your child’s routine, needs, and preferences before any booking so that you feel comfortable and reassured!?

My Experience

I have experience caring for children of different ages, including younger children who need more hands-on support and older children who need more independence, patience, and understanding. I enjoy playing with children, talking with them, helping them feel comfortable, and creating a calm and positive environment around them.

I also volunteer with a baby bank, where I help organise and sort children’s clothes and items for families in need. This experience has strengthened my passion for supporting children and families in a caring and practical way.

My Availability

I am mostly available in the evenings, at night, and for overnight babysitting. I am happy to help with after school care, evening routines, dinner time, bedtime routines, and overnight stays where needed.

My availability may vary depending on the day, so I am always happy to discuss dates and times with parents before confirming a booking. I will do my best to be flexible where possible.?

My Fees

  • Babysitting from £15.00 per hour

My babysitting fees usually range from £15 to £17 per hour, depending on the child’s age and the level of care required. For children over 5 years old, my standard rate is £15 per hour. For children under 5 years old, my rate is usually on the higher side, from around £16 to £17 per hour, as younger children often need more hands-on care and attention.

For night-time babysitting, my rate is £18 per hour for all ages.

I am also happy to discuss fees with parents and come to a fair agreement depending on the situation, the number of children, the hours needed, and the location before confirming any booking.
