My name is Yanina and I have 14 years+ of experience looking after young children and babies
| I have been a foster carer for the past 14 years so I am qualified to look after any child or children. As well as this I have 2 daughters of my own, both now 18 and 20 with my eldest having learning difficulties and disability so I have experience on how to cater to their needs. Being a foster carer has taught me many valuable skills for childminding and babysitting. I can look after multiple children at once and am also able to do emergency care and overnight care for children if that is what you require. I am also willing to do odd jobs around the house while looking after children, like light cleaning and cooking.

Hi my name is shayea, I am a fun and caring individual with a passion for child development
| My passion for childcare and education began as a young teenager, as I was set on becoming a teacher from a young age. After going to college to study sports coaching and working in different schools for work experience, I decided that an apprenticeship at a nursery would be an exciting adventure, this is where my drive and passion for working with children and young adults really sprouted. I enjoyed 5 years of working in a nursery, all whilst learning and gaining lots of experience. I enjoyed building relationships with the children and parents and providing them with a safe space where they were welcome to learn, play and build relationships. After working in the nursery and gaining the relevant qualifications, I decided it was time for a new adventure. In early 2022 I began working in a special education school as a teaching assistant. I now work closely with children from ages 5-19 and I am super proud of the work that I do as I am rewarded everyday. I am happy to answer any questions you may have. Thank you for your consideration. Shayea

Hiring someone on Care.com to provide childcare services will cost an average of £12.12 per hour as of December 2024. This rate may vary depending on the experience each childcare provider has, how many kids you will need them to watch, the age of your children, and whether you need part-time or full-time childcare.

How can I find childcare help near me?

What interview questions should I ask a childcare provider?

You want to find a childcare provider that will get along with your kids, but also follows many of the same parenting ideas you have. Structure your questions around how your kids behave in certain situations and what the provider thinks is the best action to take. And because there are plenty of activities to do in Leicester, you should ask questions about the fun things each childcare provider would do to keep your kids happy and entertained. Finally, ask each provider about their past childcare experience, references from other families in Leicester and if they are certified in first aid.
