Babysitters in Aberdeen

| Hi there, my name is Summer and I'm studying at the University of Aberdeen. I have experience babysitting in my neighbourhood with a variety of different aged children. I love doing different activities with the children such as trampolining, helping with homework or reading to them. I have also worked as a children’s tennis coach since I was 15 years old. Through this I had to plan fun , engaging activities, explain the exercises clearly and ensure a safe environment for the kids to play in. I have worked with children of many different ages and abilities, providing me with great versatility and experience. I also worked at a summer camp in Canada this summer, where I was responsible for a group of children. Some of my roles included getting the children ready for bed, accompanying them at meals, ensuring they were participating in activities and looking out for any issues that may have arisen such as bullying. In addition I have experience tutoring children in both French and Spanish. Whilst doing this I always planned my lessons plenty in advance and used a range of resources to teach. I occasionally taught a new topic but also listen to what the child felt they needed to focus on a well.

| I am a very friendly, bubbly person. Since I was eight I have grown up with having baby cousins in my family, as well as volunteering for a drama class for 4-8 year olds. Furthermore, last year I worked in France as an English language assistant in a French school, with 10-16 year olds. I have a lot of experience with children of varying ages and have done babysitting several times. I love children and I can play with them if they want but I can also be strict if I need to be if they are not behaving. I can also do French tutoring because I am in my final year of university where I am studying French studies, and I can try to help with general homework. I am not yet sure which days I am free other than weekends as I am not yet able to pick my university classes so I do not have my timetable

| I worked as an Aupair in Spain and Austria during summer 2018 for a couple of months. I looked after two enthusiastic Austrian boys, whom I took swimming, hiking, and other activities. I also cooked for them and picked them up from school. In Spain, I looked after a kid of 6 and a girl of 13. We played board games, Marco Polo in the swimming pool and I organized some treasure hunts for them. We cooked lasagna and pizza together too! Furthermore, I worked as a babysitter on a regular basis for almost two years taking care of a young boy of 3 in Aberdeen. I also babysitted occasionally two young teenagers in Vienna and two kids in Aberdeen. I have three younger siblings aged 15, 6, and 4 so I have achieved great experience with kids of any age. I have been taking care of children since I was very little by helping them with homework, entertaining them, and providing them with anything they needed.

| I am a responsible and caring babysitter with a love for children, always maintaining a safe and fun environment. I am reliable, attentive, and flexible to suit your needs!

| I have worked in multiple childrens volunteering programmes, have tutored them and as the eldest child not only do I have babysitting experience from taking care of my siblings but professional experience in baby sitting as well

| I am a fully qualified early years practioner and have over 13 years experience within childcare/babysitting. I have my first aid and lots of other certificates also. I am a mum to 7 year old twins.

| There is one thing for sure that I have known from a young age is that I would like to work with children. I have recently left my career in teaching to expand my skills working with children of all ages. I have varied past experiences in working with children from babysitting a family with 3 children (age range 2-10 years old). I have also worked with children in nursery 3-5 years old. In my spare time, I have also volunteered for a Girls' Brigade since the age of 15 and I became a trained officer at aged 18. Whilst teaching I have worked with children of all ages across the school and had experience of working in the Support for Learning teacher role for my school. All of these experiences have allowed me to understand the importance of play based learning in the development of a child holistically. I feel the skills and personal attributes that I have gained and developed through my teacher training will be very useful in creating a caring, secure environment for your children.

| I am a primary education student at the University of Aberdeen and therefore I have experience working with primary aged pupils through school placements. Because of this, I also have my PVG. As part of this course I was required to carry out a small amount of nursery experience so I have also worked with younger children. Babysitting children of a similar age will be a highly beneficial experience for me as I am interested in experiencing as much about child development as I can to develop and enhance my understanding of the theory that I learn in my course. I am a very sensible and reliable and in living away from home I have developed the skills required to successfully take care of myself and others. I also worked with younger children at dancing so I am able to facilitate games and physical activity if this is something that is of interest.

| I am a responsible and caring babysitter with four years of hands-on experience taking care of my younger sister, ensuring her safety, emotional well-being, and development. I also hold a Master’s degree in Education, which has equipped me with strong skills in child development and engagement. I love creating a positive and fun environment for kids, whether it’s helping with homework, planning creative activities, or simply being a trusted companion. I am confident that my background and passion for childcare make me a great fit for your family’s needs.

| Hello, My name is Kelsey, and I'm an Art History Student living in Aberdeen. I'm originally from the United States and have been babysitting since I was 11. I'm certified in CPR and other emergency safety; additionally, I'm a fun person to engage with, while also being responsible and timely. I do not own a car, but I am familiar with bus routes. I can cover any activity: lifeguarding, pet-sitting, homework, football, art, and more... Newborns and toddlers are my speciality, but I have cared for many age ranges, and I would love to meet up with any potential family afore a job to induce comfort. I’m primarily looking for evening care jobs to allow parents that break they deserve.

| Though not currently employed in the childcare sector, I do have some previous experience. Growing up being cared for by a local childminder myself, I am well aware of the responsibilities and tasks as a babysitter; the fun activities, the nap time schedules, the end-of-the-day clean up. Whatever you need, I've got you covered! I've also spent some time in the retail industry, my primary job being in the 'kids corner' of the store. This has allowed me to develop a good sense of understanding and communication with children of all ages and capabilities. No worries if you would prefer me to gain other qualifications/background checks before working with you - I would be happy to take on any preferred training while on the job!

| Hi there! My name is Eva, I’m 22 and I’m looking for babysitting jobs in Aberdeen. The majority of my experience is based on caring for younger siblings and babysitting for friends with young children. I also help to run children’s birthday parties at Lush where I work part time. I am comfortable caring for young babies up to older primary school age children. I can cook for your child, play games with them, bathe them and put them to bed - whatever you need. I am also happy to help with homework and have an A in higher English, B in higher maths and an A in higher German. I am very confident in my abilities to care for children and really do find it truly rewarding. I am hoping to gain some experience through babysitting so that I can go to college next summer to study for a SVQ 3 Early Years Education qualification so that I can become a nursery teacher. If you were to ask my friends and family they would tell you that I am friendly, nurturing and responsible. I would love the opportunity to get know you and your children, to help you out, and to keep improving upon my experience so that I can become a qualified nursery teacher.

| Hi, my name is Gabriella and I am a Hungarian Architecture student currently studying at Robert Gordon University. I am a creative, open-minded, and lively person always ready to come up with some DIY projects, play a game, or help out around the house. Besides my studies, I am passionate about baking and cooking so I would be more than happy to occasionally do some meal prep if needed. If I am not in the kitchen in my free time I enjoy, hiking and being in nature, reading, and swimming. I speak fluent English and Hungarian and intermediate German. As being the oldest in my family I was always around younger children who I had to look after every now and then and come up with activities. Later, I was babysitting my 10-12-year-old relatives during the summers and volunteered at a Montessori School Summer Camp in Vancouver. I have really enjoyed my time there while I was working with pre-school children aged 3-6. I helped with creative activities, meals, and outdoor playtime as well. I am looking to work part-time but would also be happy to just do occasional babysitting. I have completed a First Aid training as well as Food Safety Level 2, Health and Safety Level 2 and Allergy Traning.

| Hello, I am 20 years old, originally from Germany and in my first year studying at RGU. I have plenty of experience working with children between the ages of 5 and 15 and would be happy to work with children from 15 months onwards. From 2011 to 2016 I did regular volunteering with children in my church. This consisted of events for many different age groups. We did a monthly service for children, mornings full of indoor and outdoor games to keep the children busy during holidays and religious weekends for teenagers to name a few. In 2014 I took part in a youth camp, where two other group leaders and I were solely responsible for 11 children (aged 7 and 8) for ten days. During those five years I learnt a lot about child development, adapting to children with different personalities (introverted, extroverted etc.) and quickly getting to know new children and involving them in the group. From summer 2016 to summer 2017 I was an Au Pair in England for a family with two girls (aged 6 and 7). My role here consisted of cooking, helping with homework, playing with them, regular babysitting in the evenings and most other things a parent does. I learnt a lot about patience, responsibility, problem-solving and supporting children in their development. Counting all the hours together I have around 2000 hours of childcare experience. I am available for regular and occasional babysitting on most days of the week. For regular babysitting I would prefer up to three times a week, as I still need enough time to concentrate on my studies. I am also available for afternoon care on Wednesdays, and the weekend. However, I am looking for a job of around 10 hours a week, so either babysitting or one day of childcare. Please feel free to contact me for more information.
