Experienced, reliable and trustworthy.
| I have recently just completed my level 3 health and social care extended diploma and achieved a level 2 first aid, food safety and safeguarding along with this course. I regularly attended different placements each week which was mainly in a children's nursery and a special needs school. I also have an access ni which I am happy to provide to anyone who would be interested in having me as there babysitter. I am currently taking a gap year from my studies and intend to go to university in 2019 to study an early years teaching degree and therefore would like the experience during this time to extend my knowledge and pursue in a job I thoroughly enjoy. I have also just had my own baby therefore have lots of experience from children of all ages, my son has got cerebral palsy so I have experience in special needs care. I have a few babysitting jobs which are more casual and usually consist of evenings and weekends which I would be more than happy to provide references if you require them. I also drive and have my own car so school drop offs, pick ups and daily outings suit me if that is something you would be interested in! If you have any questions at all please don't hesitate to contact me!

Friendly and flexible babysitter for children
| I am 19 years old and a student completing a course in psychology, sociology and law in college. As I am a student at college rather than school, it allows for me to be more flexible than possibly other students, but evenings and weekends work very well! I have an AccessNI background check which has been cleared and a certificate for proof if requested. I would like to describe myself as very bubbly around others and empathetic, and have experiences with children of all ages, ranging from my own younger siblings, to neighbours with young children, to work experiences in primary schools and babysitting for my family! I am also an avid animal lover and have experience with dogs, cats, hamsters and fish, so pets are definitely not an issue for me! I also have previous experience of working as a care assistant, therefore I have some experience of looking after others and their personal care.

Hi, I am 20 and want to expand my experiences in life
| I have experience looking after my 3 cousins while their mother is in the vicinity and when she is not around also. I have helped babysit them for weekends at a time while their parents are out of town. This has been over the course of their lives and it has been fulfilling to watch them grow from babies to teenagers. The eldest is now 15 and the youngest is 8.
