My Requirements

A lovely family based in Cheshire are seeking a warm, reliable and calm babysitter who is experienced with young toddlers to care for their happy one-year-old son every Wednesday.There may also be opportunities for occasional additional ad hoc hours by mutual agreement.

The role will focus on providing nurturing, attentive care while supporting the child’s learning, development and communication through play. The child wears hearing aids, and the family is looking for someone who is patient, encouraging and enthusiastic about helping him develop his communication skills. Previous experience with hearing aids is not required, as training and ongoing support will be provided by a Teacher of the Deaf.

The sitter’s responsibilities will include providing engaging and age-appropriate activities, reading books, singing songs, encouraging communication, preparing and serving meals and snacks, assisting with feeding, changing nappies and clothing as required, following his established nap routine, and taking him on suitable outings such as walks, visits to parks or local classes where appropriate. The role will also include keeping play areas, toys and spaces used during the day clean and tidy.

Above all, the family is seeking a trusted, positive and nurturing sitter who will become an important part of their child’s life and work closely with them to support his development within a loving home environment. There is scope for this to also become a permanent role.
