My Summary
About Me
Hi, I’m Charlie I’m 32 and I live in Plymouth.
I am a friendly, caring and reliable childcare professional with over 10 years experience working with children. I absolutely love working with children and building positive relationships with them while making sure they feel safe, happy and comfortable with my care.
I currently work in a specialist school.
I have a level 3 qualification in childcare, a current dbs check, first aid training, full driving licence and my own car.
I am available for regular or occasional babysitting evenings and weekends, as well as additional needs/PA support. I am happy to help families who may need care for special occasions, weddings, events and hotel stays.
I understand how important it is for parents to find someone they trust with their children and always happy to meet up before hand and answer any questions.
My Experience
I have over 15 years experience working in childcare working with children from babies to teenage years, in nurseries, pre schools, after school clubs, babysitting and one to one support roles.
A large part of my experience is supporting children with additional needs, I have worked extensively on a 1:1 basis with children who require additional support, including children who are autistic or who have ADHD, speech and communication needs, physical disabilities and complex medical needs.
I have experience using Makaton, PECS, communication boards, visual supports, Now & Next boards and communication devices. I am confident adapting activities and routines so that children can participate in a way that works for them.
My professional experience also includes planning activities, supporting children’s development and independence, carrying out observations and assessments, writing and reviewing IEPs and working alongside parents and other professionals.
Alongside my professional roles, I have many years of babysitting experience and am confident with everyday routines including meals, play, personal care, bath time and bedtime.
I’m comfortable caring for children with a wide range of personalities and needs and always take the time to get to know each child as an individual.

• First Aid
• Safeguarding and Child Protection

Charlie is absolutely wonderful with my child! She is so caring, patient and attentive, and I always feel completely at ease knowing my little one is in her care. She cares about my child’s happiness and well-being, and my child is always so comfortable and happy around her. I really appreciate all the love, patience and effort Charlie has put into caring for my little one. Highly recommend Charlie to any parent looking for someone trustworthy and caring!

We were looking for a last minute babysitter for our son. Very nervous that a stranger was looking after our son but in just over a month we are going out again tonight for the 3 time, using Charlie each time. Very lovely and my boy seems to have warmed to her well. Recommend

We highly recommend Charlie. She babysat for our 1 year old son on two occasions we needed. She arrived earlier than what we asked. Excellent communication skills. Amazing with our son, feeding him his breakfast, changing his nappy, dressing him, putting him down for his nap. Upon meeting us she arrived with all her certificates to assure us how fully trained she is. We would never use another babysitter other than Charlie. Very trustworthy, genuine, lovely woman.

Charlie started babysitting for me last month and She is always the first person I ask now! She is excellent with kids, my two love when I tell them that Charlie is coming over! She entertains them from the minute she arrives playing games and having fun! My kids are always sad when she leaves! Always available to help out even when it's last minute! I cannot recommend her enough and would trust her with my children anytime! Amazing x

Charlie Minns and Paris Taylor were great. My wedding was at my parent's house and I didn't know the area let alone any babysitters nearby. Once we'd decided on Charlie the communication was excellent (via Skype). They arrived promptly on the day with all their documents to show my anxious mother (!). Between them they looked after up to 9 little ones in the house from 1-4 years old at different times throughout the afternoon while the parents partied in the garden! Thanks Charlie.

Charlie has looked after my 3 children 4 times over the last two weeks one being during the day in which she took them to the local park (They all slept very well that night.) The other 3 times were evening care, one of them being an urgent call, only gave 1 hours notice and she was still 10 minutes early! She was very organised and has lots of her own craft activities which my two eldest loved, she made jewlery with my daughter and fish magnets with my son (She provided all materials) All while also looking after my 9 month old baby. She is my top childcare provider, Thanks!

Charlie has provided babysitting and daycare for my 1year old and we have been very happy with both occasions. Charlie presented herself well and appears professional and knowlagable. My daughter had a lovely time and we will continue to use Charlie in the future.
