New to Town and Looking for a Great Family!
| Hi families! My name is Tessa, and I am moving to St Andrews in September from the United States with my soon-to-be husband who will be pursuing his graduate degree at the university! I very recently earned my own master's degree in Speech Pathology, as well as a teaching certification. However, due to licensing differences, I likely will not practice as a speech therapist while we are in Scotland! While we are here, I would love to continue to work with children as I have for the last 10+ years as a babysitter and nanny. In that time, I have worked with 20+ families, most until their children outgrew a babysitter. I strive to hold the welfare of the children to whose care I am entrusted paramount, and will love your children as if they are my own. I have vast experience with all age ranges, as well as a wide range of special needs. I am a huge proponent of fostering learning and creativity through play, and also love to engage children through crafts, baking, and exploring nature. If I sound like a good fit for your family or you would like to know more about me, please do not hesitate to reach out!

St. Andrews Student Who Loves Kids!
| As a teenager, I started taking care of my neighbor's kids since they were a few months old. The oldest is now 8 years old. From teaching them how to rollerskate, to feeding them their meals, I've been there through their biggest milestones. I feel so grateful for the opportunity to help out my neighbor's family that I want to continue this work. I'm a St. Andrews student, but I'm available to travel to Cupar or Dundee!

Bilingual student from France, ready to speak some French with your children in a fun way
| Hi there, I’m Camille. I’m from Lyon (France) and am starting my second year at the University of St. Andrews studying Social Anthropology and Spanish. I am looking for a job as a babysitter because I enjoy being around children and have patience while being understanding, creative and kind. My youngest sister was born when I was 10 and I was always like her second mother, which taught me so much about caring for a child at any age. I am fluent in English and French and therefore propose to also speak some French with your children while I babysit. If they are young, they are like sponges and learn very quickly, especially if done in a fun way through different games and conversations. Thank you for your consideration, do not hesitate to contact me with any questions, I am always happy to help. Have a nice day, Camille

| I am currently a fourth year Geography student at the University of St Andrews and I absolutely love spending time with children! I am from Chicago, Illinois and I have been babysitting for the last 6 years for various families in my hometown. I previously worked at a daycare for two years with children aged 3 months - 6 years, where my responsibilities included food preparation, entertaining children, and doing laundry and dishes. Recently, I spent the last three summers working at an overnight summer camp as a counselor and outdoor tripping leader for young women aged 10-16, where I helped to mentor and encourage campers to grow in confidence and leadership skills while on wilderness sea kayaking and canoeing trips that were 4-9 days long. Additionally, I am certified in CPR and Water Safety, and I am a trained First Responder.

Caring, responsible babysitter/child carer looking to help families
| I am a responsible and hard-working babysitter with experience with children between 3 months - 12 years (references available on request). I am comfortable looking after 2-3 children, depending on age and child's temperament. I can offer flexible hours and emergency childcare. I'm paediatric first aid certified and consider safety and hygiene of the upmost importance. I am happy to help with light household chores, homework and cooking for the children as well as days out and fun activities. I'm willing to do drop off/pick up but do not own a car so any drop off/pick up arrangements would have to be within walking distance. In regards to my education, I selected A-levels/highers since that was the only equivalent option but I am actually an IB graduate.

Female university student with experience looking for part-time work! All ages comfortable
| Hi there! I'm a current undergraduate looking for some work in the evenings, weekends, and (sometimes) daytimes. I study Mediaeval History at St Andrews and am a Second Year. I have several years of experience. In high school I was a part-time babysitter during the school year and full-time nanny during the summer. I have experience with children ages 2 to 12, but am perfectly comfortable with children under 2. I am really good at handling young children--especially several at a time (one of my frequent families in high school were three wild boys ages 2, 5, and 7!) I've also done several overnights (about a week's time) nannying whilst parents went travelling. If you'd like references I will happily provide. Other than babysitting I have worked in several restaurants, but have preferred my time babysitting. Also, if your child is looking for help with school I would be happy to help with that; I have experience tutoring lower-level academics.

Young student with experience in childcare
| Hi there, I am currently looking for babysitting jobs in my university town, as among the professions I have experience in, childcare is really one I genuinely enjoy. I started quite early by caring for many younger cousins as the eldest. Since then I have had formal jobs babysitting first for a young 6 year-old girl in my home town in Geneva, Switzerland. I looked after her during the summer holidays for 8 hours a day, planning our outdoor activities, until about dinner time. I have also cared for up to three children at a time. Starting with a 5-month old, I assisted with childcare and housekeeping duties, and continued until the child was almost 4 years old, and took on the care of two younger siblings at the same time. I am equally able to prepare meals throughout the day (and am able to work around allergies etc.). I also have extensive experience in sports and have worked in a summer camp for children aged 8-12 in my home town, so am able to coordinate any activities outdoors if that is needed. Please let me know if there is any other additional information you may need, and if you would like any formal references from me. Ishani

Hi, my name is Rio, I attend St Andrews University. I am a fun, bubbly person.
| The summer of 2021 I babysat a 5 month old a few times as the parents kept asking me to babysit and I have experience babysitting toddlers as well. I also have no problem babysitting older children too. I was a student leader at Gordonstoun International Summer School which is a very competitive programme to get on, and this meant I was looking after a group of about 17 kids for 3 weeks straight, so I learnt a lot of skills from doing that. I am a non-smoker, and do not drink that much either, so will not be a bad influence on your kids. I am very trustworthy and responsible. I am a keen highland dancer and love to read, and am very engaging.
