I am a dynamic, loving and responsible person that loves to care for children.
| Hiii, My name is Louise and I am a French/English 26 year old and I love caring for children of all ages. I have done a lot of babysitting/nanny work in the past: I took care of two little girls age 3 and 1 for about 2 months. I also took care of a little girl age 5 for a few months in London After this, I had the opportunity to move to Tokyo, Japan. I worked there as a live-in nanny for a Japanese family during one year .The children were age 3 and 1. In Japan, I was also able to work as a nursery teacher, teaching English to children age 3.I can provide references if needed. It was an amazing experience and I still keep very close contact with the family. When I moved back to London (September 2018) I started to work at a event company specialising in organising children's birthday parties. I was also hired to, occasionally work in a creche with children during mornings. I absolutely love children and love taking care of them. Which is why I am looking to work with them. I also have CPR training and a driving license. Thank you for your time and consideration. Magical regards, Louise

Your child's wellbeing and safety are my priorities. I am patient, experienced and trustworthy.
| Hello, I'm Maria, an International Relations student and a passionate babysitter! My experience: I spent 10 months as an after-school nanny for a 6-year-old girl in 2022. Prepared dinner, supported her with homework, took her swimming, and tennis, and organised playdates with friends. Ensured a safe and enjoyable environment during the post-school hours. Since 2023 I have supported 5 London families (babysitting over 6 children). My activity focused on providing dinner, managing night routines and bedtime stories, and ensuring a peaceful night's sleep among many other things :-) Fun fact about me: I used to play cello for three years when I was younger. Outside of academics, I've been into horse riding since the age of 6, and competing for 3 years. Also, I speak Spanish and love reading. Additional non-paid experience: for 3 consecutive summers, I cared for my 2 cousins aged 4 and 10. Engaged them in age-appropriate activities, ensured adherence to routines and guidelines provided by parents, and maintained a vigilant watch over their well-being. Furthermore, for two years, I volunteered with a charity in Portugal, organising activities for young single mothers and their babies and toddlers.
Maria was friendly, kind, prompt, professional and accommodating all the things you need from a baby sitter. Maria also kept me updated with text to let me know all was peaceful back at home with my child asleep. I would not hesitate to recommend Maria."

Primary school teacher looking for summer daytime work, as well as evening and weekend babysitting
| I am a 26 year old qualified primary teacher living in Notting Hill, London, currently teaching at a primary school in Chelsea. I moved to the area in May 2022, previously living in Newcastle upon Tyne. I have worked with children full-time since 2018 (part time since 2014) with various roles including Preschool leader, Early Years Teacher, Private Tutor (ages 3-16 years), Class Teacher and Deputy Manager of a preschool setting. I have extensive experience working with children of all ages within a range of settings. I have a DBS certificate and am fully trained in paediatric first aid. I have a First Class Honours degree in Early Primary Education with QTS. I realised at the very start of my adult life that working with children and young people was the only career path for me as I love spending time with children due to a shared curiosity, optimism and enthusiasm for life and learning. It is the most satisfying job knowing I am making a positive impact on a child’s life and nothing will compare to the feeling and experience I gain from my work. I am very passionate about helping children and their families and am excited to take on some extra babysitting.

| I am a young bright engaging woman with a full teaching qualification currently studying History at the London School of Economics. I have a qualification in teaching and plenty of experience babysitting. I have returned to education having been teaching PSHE at West Suffolk College in Suffolk for the last 6 months. At the same time I babysat for 2 young girls (2 and 5) in Bury st Edmunds and 2 boys (6 and 8) in Rickinghall both on a needs basis.

Hi my name is Izzie. I am friendly, reliable and have a fun and caring nature.
| Hi, my name is Izzie, I'm 24 years old and I am a speech and language therapist. I am currently looking for babysitting work. My experience: I currently work as a speech and language therapist for preschool- aged children in the Merton area. Prior to this, I spent 4 months in Australia, where I nannied three boys, aged 9, 15 and 17. Care included picking the youngest child up from school, taking him to after-school clubs, cooking dinner for the three of them, and washing and ironing clothes. When I returned home, I nannied three children: a 7 year old girl, 10 year old boy and 11 year old girl. This included similar responsibilities as Australia. Before Australia I nannied three children, including a 10 month old baby, so i am comfortable with looking after young children and infants. I have got lots of other relevant work experience with children, for example I volunteered at a nursery school for a year. I have also been an assistant and a year leader at a kids activity camp for children aged 4-13. I am friendly, reliable and love working with children. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask, hope to hear from you soon!

Experienced Babysitter/Nanny in SW20
| Hi, my name is Izzy and I'm an enthusiastic and energetic babysitter. I've been babysitting and nannying for a few years and was also a Brownie leader. I love working with children and am about to begin my teacher training. I can provide references and I'm more than happy to meet with you and your child/children prior to any babysitting so you can check that I'm a good fit for your family. Hope to hear from you!
Izzy starting working with us when our daughter was 4 months old. We were just learning how to be parents much less knowing the ropes and she was loving and flexible with our daughter and incredibly organised and fun with her as well. We could count on her and she was so thoughtful and adventurous - ensuring that our daughter was happy and active. I went back to work and she made the transition very easy. She has kept in touch and even come back to visit. The only reason she stopped working with us is because she went back to school and we are pleased to hear she will now be using her skills to become a teacher. I am american and without family locally, I knew my daughter was in good hands- and with the regular pictures from my daughters day that Izzy would send, I also got to feel like I wasn't too far when I was back at work. Happy to provide recommendations or further details!"
