A Reliable and trustworthy professional.
| Coming from health care industry, I understand the importance of having a trusted person to look after your children. In my previous role as a Human Resource Officer at Cedarcrest, I worked closely with children from different educational institutions, ensuring that their internships was done in a conducive environment. I have had the privilege of looking after three children who are currently in the University. One of them was a year old when I started babysitting her and I also babysit her younger ones from birth. Seeing these children grow into responsible young adult inspired my decision of choosing this profession. My experience working as a Human Resources Officer in a fast paced environment has honed my interpersonal, communication, organizational, and empathetic skills. I have a track record of maintaining confidentiality and I am detailed oriented.

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!

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.
