Babysitter looking to care for 1 to 2 children
| I work as a nurse, so I do shifts, I work part time, I have days and evenings off in the week and every other weekend. I am more experienced at babysitting for children upto 6 years old. Several years ago I was a regular babysittter for 2 girls ages 2 and 4 in their school holidays. This post continued for 4 to 5 years, I spent extended times with the family to help them on day trips out and got on very well with all of them. In the evenings my duties included creative play, settling the girls to bed and reading with them. I have been involved in a Voluntary work project at an orphanage abroad, and have been 5 times there to their summer school, I was committed to seeing the progress of the children there and developed good relationships with them. The summer school ran 5 days a week during the mornings and was very busy, meaning that I had to engage with children of all ages and all different skill levels. Some of the children had learning disabilities, which meant that we had to find creative ways of communicating with them. I have recent experience if looking after a family of 4 children including the youngest at 5 who has autism. I have stayed with them for a few long weekends of 3 days in duration.

| I have always enjoyed looking after and playing with children. My first experience with childcare was in primary school when I took out my work experience at chapter one nursery, followed by babysitting for my neighbor who had two children age 1 and 3 after that I did a few other babysitting jobs for friends and family including my little brother.

Elischa is amazing! We were visiting from overseas and Elischa cared for my two boys for three days. I was very anxious about using a sitter so far from home, Elischa was so professional we set up a online meeting beforehand so she could introduce herself which really put me at ease seeing how lovely she was. She is such a caring person, she bonded amazingly with both my younger and older sons. She even bought a whole box of toys to keep the little one entertained as she knew we wouldn’t have many with us. She planned and took the boys on outings to an animal farm and a local park. She cleaned the apartment and played board games with the older one after putting the little one down to bed. I felt so comfortable knowing the boys were in such good hands. I highly recommend Elischa to anyone who needs a babysitter."

If we could give more than five stars we would! Melanie is terrific. She helped out with our 1-year-old and 4-year-old who both loved her. She’s great with imaginative play and very engaged: from tea parties to blocks to crafts, the kids had so much fun with her. Highly recommend!"

Skye was absolutely amazing watching our 2 year old for the day. She was very timely upon arrival and my son immediately took to her. Skye was so friendly when greeting him and I could tell he was genuinely excited to play with her! She sent updates, pictures, and videos throughout the day of their activities which was so reassuring to us. We will absolutely be booking with Skye again!"

Hi my name is Izzie. I am friendly, reliable and have a fun and caring nature.
| Hi, my name is Izzie, I'm 24 years old and I am a speech and language therapist. I am currently looking for babysitting work. My experience: I currently work as a speech and language therapist for preschool- aged children in the Merton area. Prior to this, I spent 4 months in Australia, where I nannied three boys, aged 9, 15 and 17. Care included picking the youngest child up from school, taking him to after-school clubs, cooking dinner for the three of them, and washing and ironing clothes. When I returned home, I nannied three children: a 7 year old girl, 10 year old boy and 11 year old girl. This included similar responsibilities as Australia. Before Australia I nannied three children, including a 10 month old baby, so i am comfortable with looking after young children and infants. I have got lots of other relevant work experience with children, for example I volunteered at a nursery school for a year. I have also been an assistant and a year leader at a kids activity camp for children aged 4-13. I am friendly, reliable and love working with children. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask, hope to hear from you soon!

Izzy starting working with us when our daughter was 4 months old. We were just learning how to be parents much less knowing the ropes and she was loving and flexible with our daughter and incredibly organised and fun with her as well. We could count on her and she was so thoughtful and adventurous - ensuring that our daughter was happy and active. I went back to work and she made the transition very easy. She has kept in touch and even come back to visit. The only reason she stopped working with us is because she went back to school and we are pleased to hear she will now be using her skills to become a teacher. I am american and without family locally, I knew my daughter was in good hands- and with the regular pictures from my daughters day that Izzy would send, I also got to feel like I wasn't too far when I was back at work. Happy to provide recommendations or further details!"

FAQs for finding a babysitter

What is the going rate for babysitters on Care.com?

The average rate for babysitters on Care.com as of February, 2025 is £13.00 per hour. This rate will fluctuate depending on your location, the babysitter's level of experience, and the number of children to be watched. Other factors that may also influence the rate include the need for additional babysitting duties, specialised care, and overnight care.

How do I find a babysitter for my kids?

Looking for a babysitter can feel like a daunting task. To make the process easier, you can start by outlining what you'd like from a candidate before starting your babysitter search. Think about the level of experience you wish them to have, if you want them to have any first-aid certifications, if you need them to handle additional duties such as driving kids around or helping with homework assignments, and how much you are willing to pay.

To start your search process on Care.com, start by creating an account and answering a few questions to find babysitters that match your needs. You will then have the option to either post a job that can be seen by our extensive pool of childcarers or search babysitters from the platform based on years of experience, hourly rate, distance from your area, etc. After you have selected your candidates, you can schedule interviews, check references, and hire the babysitter who best meets the needs of your family.

What should I ask a babysitter during an interview?

In order to get to know if the candidate is a good fit, focus your interview questions around their previous experience, their babysitting style and personality, their previous training and skills, as well as any specific requirements to be performed on the job. It is very common to schedule a paid trial where you can be present while they care for your children. This is a great way to find out if the babysitter is a good match for your family and if your kids feel comfortable too.
