Babysitter Comfortable with Toddler to Primary school age - Darlington DL1
| First of all do not be put off by my qualifications and what I am doing at the moment. I am looking to change direction this year to help with children. Since first writing this I now have a 5 year old granddaughter and grandson who I adore. I am a mature experienced person with a wealth of life skills in many areas. I am a qualified counsellor specialising with children and teens. I am also a qualified teacher. I have an up to date DBS, Safeguarding Children. I adore children and have a lot of time and patience to give them the best care and attention they need until mum/dad come home. I am very creative so they can expect lots of activities and most of all, fun! As a qualified teacher I can also help with homework (not Maths) where necessary. I do not have childcare qualifications, just good old fashioned life skills and being a mum of 3 grown up, well balanced successful boys whom I brought up myself. So if you are looking for someone who will treat your children with care, respect and look after like mum or dad, you have found me. Sandra.

Holly Cowley - Child’s Best Friend
| I have two younger brothers and which I have cared for from a young age as my parents have jobs that mean they aren’t home often and therefore babysitting is nothing new to me. I have also cared for many children of family friends from young ages all the way through. I have always got on well with children of different and I am capable of not only minding children but doing simple household tasks that would be beneficial. I have a DBS check and don’t smoke. I also am comfortable with pets as I have two dogs myself. I pride myself in being approachable by children and can keep them entertained as well as making sure they do any tasks required of them by the family e.g. homework.
