my name is Aisha I am an assistant microbiologist. Offering occasional and emergency childcare
| 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. In high school I was a football and basketball coach which meant I was left in charge of 15-20 at a time. I am a very happy and playful person which makes interacting with children easy for me and enjoyable.

Fun and compassionate Social Work Master's student
| Hello all! My name is Nick and I'm a 23 year-old student getting my Master's in Social Work at the University of Edinburgh. I am empathetic, energetic, and love working with people! I have experience working with kids from my time as a youth rowing coach. For 4 years, I worked with children and teens age 12-17, teaching them to row crew, cooperate as a team, and build confidence. As an undergraduate, I worked as a Resident Assistant in a first-year dorm. I received training in leadership, safety, and inclusion; I went on to manage a floor of 40 Freshman, maintain Covid-19 safety during the pandemic, and facilitate community-building activities. I decided to join Care.com to find a flexible job that helps pay tuition while I complete my studies. I have CPR certification and crisis management qualifications. Through my social work program, I have received PVG clearance to work with both adults and children. I am passionate about cooking and am comfortable with meal-prep and household cleaning/organization. I love the outdoors, arts & crafts, books (I majored in English as an undergrad!) and Pixar movies! Please reach out with any questions and if you are in need of a babysitter!

Responsable and smiley Spanish Girl who is finder her way to become a teacher
| Being the oldest child of 5 siblings has made me really responsible. I have also worked as an Au pair for 3 years for the same family and had a couple of jobs as a babysitter. I consider myself strict but also fun. I think there’s a time for everything and teaching children when it’s time to play and when it’s time to do their chores is important. I am Spanish, so I’ll be able to teach your child my language and my culture if you are happy with it. I am currently studying a degree to become a teacher so I am happy to help with any homework they have or to study. I’d love to take your children for walks, as I believe in outdoor learning. I can drive and I have my own car so I could take your children to any after school activities. I would describe myself as a smiley person and I could say I always find my way to connect with children.

Friendly young person with a great imagination and love for fun.
| I am responsible and friendly and have volunteered in a number of things working with children. I like arts and crafts, reading, water sports and the theatre. I’m looking for some work whilst I’m studying and think babysitting would be a lot of fun and ideal with schedule. Whilst completing my Duke of Edinburgh award I volunteered at the Gaelic school in Inverness. I worked with the P1 class supporting the teacher in different ways. This role involved supervising the children, playing and reading to them during golden time, helping them with their work and as well as tasks such as tidying up or attaching work to the walls. Last year I helped out with the preschool to P2 Sunday school class at church. This involved doing songs with them, helping with crafts and activities and making sure they were safe. This summer I was a leader at a Free Church Youth Camp. It was a girls camp for ages 12-15. The role involved supervising the girls, setting up activities and being there for emotional and spiritual support. I’ve also babysat 2 children, aged 5 and 13, which involved getting them their dinner, tidying up, playing games and getting the youngest to bed early.
