My Summary

My Experience

I have over 6 years of professional childcare experience, primarily working in nursery settings with children of different ages, abilities and developmental stages.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked with babies, toddlers and preschool children, as well as gaining experience with older children. I’m confident supporting daily routines, preparing meals, changing nappies, settling children to sleep and planning fun, age-appropriate activities.

I also have experience supporting children with special educational needs and adapting my approach to meet each child’s individual needs.

My qualifications and ongoing Psychology MSc have given me a strong understanding of child development, behaviour and emotional wellbeing.

I’m confident caring for multiple children and understand the importance of safeguarding, communication and building positive relationships with families.

My Qualifications

I hold a First-Class Honours Degree in Childhood Studies and a Foundation Degree in Early Years Education. I’m also currently studying towards my MSc in Psychology at Aston University.

Alongside my qualifications, I have over 6 years of professional experience working in early years education, caring for children of different ages and abilities.

My education and professional experience have given me a strong understanding of child development, safeguarding, children’s behaviour and emotional wellbeing.

I also have experience supporting children with special educational needs and adapting care to suit their individual requirements.

My Availability

I’ll be available for babysitting from January 2027 when I relocate to Gateshead.

I’m planning to work as a teaching assistant during the week, so I’m primarily looking for evening and weekend babysitting opportunities.

I’d ideally love to find a family who needs regular babysitting, such as one or two evenings a week or Friday and Saturday evenings. I’m also happy to discuss occasional babysitting arrangements.

I can be flexible with advance notice and may have additional availability during school holidays.

I’m based near Springwell Village and have my own transport, so I’m happy to travel to surrounding areas.

My Fees

• Babysitting from £14.50 per hour

My babysitting rate starts from £14.50 per hour.

Rates may vary depending on the number of children, hours required and any additional responsibilities.

I’m particularly interested in regular babysitting arrangements and am happy to discuss a suitable rate with families requiring ongoing childcare.

I’m also available for occasional evening and weekend bookings. Please feel free to contact me to discuss your requirements.
