Babysitting kids aged 2-13.
| Hello! My name is Ivana, I’m 24 and I’m from Slovakia. I just finished my BSc degree at the University of Portsmouth and will be doing my MSc degree after the summer. I grew up around children as I am the eldest in my family. My most recent babysitting experience was taking care of a 2-year-old boy. My responsibilities were to feed him dinner, play with him, read him a book and put him to sleep. At the start of my 2nd year of university, I took care of two children aged 6 and 7 but this was only for a couple of months as our schedules were clashing. I used to pick them up from school, give them some lunch, help them with their homework and play with them. In 2020 I took a gap year and I was an au pair in Cambridge, where I took care of two kids aged 9 and 13. I also used to take care of their dog. While in high school I used to babysit two kids for 4 years. When I started babysitting them they were 6 and 4. I used to collect them from school, make easy lunch, help them with homework and play with them. I can provide some references if needed.

I'm a kind, responsible and energetic person with a passion for caring for children
| Need a 'Mary Poppins' for your children? Although I’m only 21, I consider myself an 'old-fashioned' babysitter—someone who prioritises a non-digital environment for playing, learning, and having fun. I have combined my studies with babysitting for many years, including during the summer. I have experience working with children of all ages (2–14) and various nationalities, including Italian, Spanish, French, and English. As a university student at Portsmouth, my availability will vary depending on my class timetable.
