Experienced Babysitter
| I have much experience with caring for children from birth onwards having become an aunt aged 4 and babysitting from an early age also. My background professionally was in Business Management after a BA degree but I took change direction 12 years ago and trained as a foster carer. I adopted my son who is now 11, he arrived ages 8 months. Shortly before Covid we moved my then 89 yr old mum, who had dementia from Glasgow, to live with us in Trinity. Sadly she died at the end of 2020. I’m so glad to have had her here with us for her last year. I decided to continue helping young children who were born during the pandemic and not as socially experienced as they would have been. I'm confident with everything from tantrums to teething, toilet training, fussy eaters to having lots of fun! I have full disclosure and paediatric first aid having fostered and trained with the complex and detailed procedures and skills required. I’m fully equipped to care in our home which is just a few minutes from Victoria Park. I'm flexible weekday and weekends and available in the evenings too, as well as overnight. My hourly rate is £7.50, £8.00 at weekends and also happy to discuss a flat daily/ weekly and sibling rate.

Psychology graduate looking to care for children with a gentle and child-centred approach.
| Dear parents and caregivers! My name is Saima, I'm 23, and I've recently graduated with a psychology MA from the University of Dundee. I have experience working with children from ages 1.5 to 7 years old. This experience is from placements at a kindergarten, as well as caring for children at their homes during my studies. I have a Scottish PVG check clearing me to work with children. I view my style of care very child-centred, as I belive in gentle parenting and raising happy and confident children. I am very hands-on and like to include myself into what the children are doing. As well as this, I am comfortable with manual labour around the house and helping the environment stay tidy. I am happy to make food and comfortable with bedtime routines. I am very creative and crafty, so there's plenty we can do together to bond and spend time doing. I know the importance of good relationships with adults with young children, and I would be very happy to get in touch and see if I could be a fit to look after your children! I look forward to hearing from you and your little ones! Saima

Best babysitter/nanny
| Hello! I have studied painting and i am currently studying technical theatre! Therefore i enjoy being creative and think this is a key aspect for keeping children entertained/happy. My last two summers in between studying (at University and College) i have worked as a canoe tripper at a kids summer camp in Canada! Therefore i am experience with taking groups of around 10 kids out into the wilderness for a couple of days and nights! Where i would lead the way, cook all meals and make sure they were entertained and enjoyed the trips - while making sure everything was safe. I also helped out around the camp in between trips, working with the kids making sure they had the best summer! Back in 2017 i also did a week of work experience in a Nursery, this was a great experience to work with younger children and see the full extent of care needed. Also in 2017 i traveled to Sri Lanka and did some volunteering with children over there, helping to teach some basic english and maths! This was a great, eye opening experience.
