Caring, Bilingual Babysitter with a Heart for Kids and a Talent for Cooking!
| Hi! I’m María, a 26-year-old Guatemalan currently studying full-time for my Master’s in Public Policy. I’m fluent in English and Spanish and have basic knowledge of Italian. With a year of experience babysitting in the Netherlands, I’ve worked with children aged 1, 4, and 7. I’m patient, caring, and enjoy bringing my cooking skills to the job, whether it’s preparing meals or getting kids involved in fun and safe activities. I’ve also volunteered in a foster care home in Guatemala, where I learned how to provide extra care and attention to children in need. I look forward to meeting your family and helping create a safe and fun environment for your kids!

Friendly, cheerful and outgoing babysitter with own transport. Au-Pair experience.
| I started babysitting when I was 14 years old and have taken care of kids from the age of 2 months to 9 years old. After graduating from school, I also spent a year abroad in New Zealand, working as an Au Pair for a lovely family and looking after their two daughters (aged 3 and 4 at the time). During secondary school, I assisted students (aged 11 - 15) with their homework once a week. While I was studying for my undergraduate, I volunteered once a week at a local primary school to help children with their reading skills. I am also the favourite aunt to invite for those of my cousins who have children ;-) I am trained in first aid and have completed a DBS check.

I have basic experience in caring for children and such a passion for becoming a dedicated nanny.
| I’ve grown up in a big family and loved caring for my younger siblings which then developed into my love for caring for your younger children. I’m at York University at the moment studying midwifery. I started babysitting several months ago, originally caring for a 5 and 3 year old roughly three times a week for a few months, which grew into more clients and more amazing children. I love hanging around and caring for children and want to aid in developing their personalities and learning. I volunteered at a nursery caring for kids between the age of 1-4 years, as well as volunteering, teaching disabled and special needs kids how to swim, which included learning basic sign language.

I am currently studying Japanese, TESOL and linguistics and am looking for work in my area.
| I am trustworthy, punctual, and always take any responsibilities given to me seriously. I am then oldest of four younger siblings, so I have always been around and helped with younger children. I am particularly interested in babysitting as my course is all about teaching children and this is something I wish to pursue in the future. I have done previous work experience in a local nursery, where I was given a team of children to supervise activities with and help with their learning. I was also lucky enough to be involved with a school trip with them where again I entrusted with a small team. In my hometown Norwich while I was studying at Sixth Form, I worked three evenings a week in a restaurant, which I hope shows how hardworking I am. If you would like to verify any of these details, I am more than happy to give you references that are both from the nursery and my last employment.

Young, fun and engaging babysitter
| Having recently graduated from the University of York, I am looking to gain further childcare experience before undertaking my PGCE next September. For the last 3 years, I have been looking after children between the ages of 3-14 in my hometown throughout the holidays. I love interacting with children of all ages and am more than happy to go the extra mile, ensuring every child feels as comfortable and calm as possible. I really enjoy thinking of fun activities to do, whether this is arts and crafts for younger children or engaging in the interests of any older children. In addition to this I am more than willing to undertake various household roles whilst babysitting, whether this is cleaning the dishes, folding laundry or even helping with any homework or reading that needs completing. I am available both weekdays and weekends (day / evening) and love being able to build a relationship with every child I look after.

Creative and Attentive Babysitter
| Hi! I’d love to help with your babysitting needs. I have extensive experience taking care of children, having raised my younger sisters and assisted with other babies and kids. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of what it takes to keep children safe, entertained, and happy. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish, so I can communicate effectively with both English- and Spanish-speaking children, which is a great bonus for families seeking language exposure. I am patient, nurturing, and have a natural motherly instinct, which means I’m not just looking after the kids—I’m actively engaged in their well-being, from ensuring they’re comfortable to creating fun and educational activities. I’m also responsible and reliable, always making sure to follow any guidelines and routines you set, and I’m happy to adapt to your specific needs. I am currently a university student (getting my masters) and I can do any other day except Thursday from 5-8pm and Friday after 8:30pm.
