Part-time/casual student babysitter in Plymouth
| Hi, my name is Maria. I am 19 and have just started at Plymouth University studying Occupational Therapy. For the past two years I have worked at a children's breakfast, after school and holiday club for all primary school aged children. Alongside this, I attended college to study A level Sociology, Health and Social Care and Performing Arts. I also completed extra courses there, which were level 2 and level 3 supporting teaching and learning, emergency first aid and caring for vulnerable children. I love working with children and would love to do it in the future as an occupational therapist. I have much younger siblings and cousins, so I am used to babysitting and doing activities with children of all ages. I am pretty flexible with times around my lectures, and the occasional weekend I may go home to Hampshire, but apart from that I am happy to babysit some weekends in Plymouth too!

My name is Rachael, I’m 19 and have been babysitting for 5 years now.
| I started babysitting when I was around 14. I looked after a family friends foster children who were 7 months old and 7 years. This would include cooking for them, putting them to bed, reading them stories and also supervising the older child while he gave himself his medication. In school I did health and social care which allowed me to gain experience in a primary school when I was on a month long placement. When I left school I started a year long college course where I got my level 2 diploma in childcare. This course taught me a lot about children’s developmental and nutritional needs as well as the importance of play. From age 16 I began looking after my cousins (ages 3 years and 1 year) who I have on a regular basis, I take them on days out to the park and aquarium and have them on sleepovers a lot. I also look after many family friends children the ages vary from a couple months old to around 6/7. I absolutely love looking after children and getting to know them and watch their personalities develop. I do not drive but am happy to get buses or walk to wherever I have to. I can also give references upon request.

Fun, reliable, caring babysitter/summer nanny.
| Hiya, I'm Lauren Hardacre. A few years ago I spent the year living abroad in France with a french family therefore I have gained a lot of experience with children of varying ages. I have had experience with children as young as 6 months. Working abroad has allowed me to gain understanding of children's needs and how each child is different. Before moving to France I had several babysitting jobs in the UK so have experience with English children to. I like to take the fun approach with children, ensuring that they look forward to spending time with me. This might be by organising a treasure hunt or playing in the garden if the weather is nice. However, I feel that it is vital that the children respect me and therefore there must be a balance between the two. I've just finished University so I am looking for a role over the summer. I look forward to hearing from you!
