Babysitter after work and weekends
| I was an au-pair for 3 months in the UK, and I’m the eldest of 3 girls, so I’ve been babysitting my two sisters from when I was 9 and until I was 21. I love children, but I don’t have my own, so when I look after them my time and attention is fully focused on them. I work full time from 8 am until 5pm as an Assistant Site Manager. My availability is Monday to Friday from 6pm and Saturdays and Sundays whole day with previous notice.

Young, energetic, safe and trusting student
| Hello, my name is Kaia. I am 20 years old, and I am now a second year Law student at University of Reading. I have great relationships and experience with children, even though I have not been formally employed working with children, I have always been great with looking after and caring for children of various ages. I am very responsible, reliable, energetic, hard working, caring, trusting, and fulfil my commitments to the fullest extent. Outside of my academics and always being in the library, I love to stay active and have been doing athletics and playing hockey for over 10 years now, (as I continue both sports for my university teams). I also love to cook and bake! This is something I aim to do as much as possible when I have the time. Being a very orderly and scheduled person, organisation is key, and your child will be in reliable hands. I have recent experience over the last few months of babysitting, and privately tutoring children. I love children and have plenty of experience working with and caring for them, in my primary school, family friends, siblings, cousins etc, and have plenty of patience and mothering attributes, as well as my reliability and responsibility.

Do you need a fun, caring babysitter?!
| Hi! My name is Charlotte and I’m a Medical Sciences student at the University of Exeter. I have experience caring for young children, having been babysitting for a couple of years. I spent the summer before I came to university as a nanny for a boy aged 5, which involved collecting him from school, interacting with his teachers and other staff, cooking his dinner and bathing him and helping him with his homework (involving reading). I worked as a private tutor for two years preceding university, working with children from the age of 5 to 16, so I am very patient and know a range of techniques to engage children in their work and investing in their studies. I’m also great at playing with Lego and pretending to be a pirate! Thank you for considering me for this position! I hope we will be able to help each other! Best wishes.

Fun, caring, sensible and experienced!
| I am currently a first year university student and am looking for a way to earn extra income without struggling to balance my work at the same time. Before university, I would look after two children (one 6 year old and one 9 year old). However, I also have experience looking after babies and toddlers and their parents have definitely been pleased with my skills. Being part of a large family myself, I know that looking after children is a big task but I feel that I can take that task on. University has definitely given me more independence too which has allowed me to explore my cooking skills: something that might be useful to parents who have to work late. Furthermore, I have two dogs at home so pets will not be an issue for me. I hope that you consider my application in regards to babysitting and I look forward to potentially hearing from you.
