I would highly recommend Charlene to anyone in need of excellent child care I had placed an ad for urgent child care for my three children An fortunately Charlene replied so we met introduced to children and I agreed to let Charlene care for my children She has done so on many occasions I can't say anything bad about the care she provides She is friendly honest trustworthy reliable very responsible and respectful She will go out of her way to help anyone in need My children get very excited when I tell them Charlene is going to care for them They just adore her She bakes with them cooks meals cleans and tidy away Reads with them does painting and singing dancing just makes it very fun for them And I'm very happy with the care she provides my children are happy I couldn't ask for more Its a shame I don't need child care more often as I wouldn't hesitate to say yes to her but hopefully now she can find a lovely family to care for long term."

My name is Chioma, I am a nursing student and an experienced babysitter
| My dedication to and involvement in raising and well-being of children over the years has exceptionally prepared me for the role of nanny/babysitter. growing up, I was responsible for taking care of my little siblings and cousins but I started babysitting professionally about two years ago. in the past two years, I have been responsible for the upbringing and overall well-being of kids from 0-10 years old. During this time I gained competencies in learning about kids' requirements and interests, assisting the kids with showering and dressing, preparing their food and assisting them to eat, observing the kid's health and taking note of any worries, and supporting their physical and mental health well-being through different activities, dropping and picking them up from school when necessary. I was called the "children magnet" because of the relationship I had with the kids under my care, I also got a staff of the month for two months on a role. I am very empathetic, compassionate, and dedicated to providing the best possible care for children.

Reliable and Creative Childcarer with Hands-On Experience in All Aspects of Kids’ Daily Routines
| Hello! I’m 27, born and raised in Oxford, and the eldest of four siblings, including a 7-year-old. Being the eldest grandchild in a family of over 30 cousins, I’ve cared for children of all ages, from newborns to pre-teens, giving me years of hands-on experience. In 2016, I moved to the University of Southampton and graduated with a BA in Philosophy and Politics. After university, I worked in London as a Client Executive for a tech firm for 4 years. My most recent childcare experience includes looking after my 7-year-old sister, managing school drop-offs, packed lunches, extracurricular activities, dinner, and bedtime routines. During Christmas, I cared for three children (aged 5–10) for a week while their parents were away, managing all aspects of their daily care. I’ve also been volunteering as an English tutor for a 5-year-old, helping them build confidence and language skills through fun lessons. Additionally, I worked as an Assistant Course Director for Oxford Summer Courses, overseeing students’ safeguarding, schedules, and excursions while fostering a supportive environment.

Oxford graduate, tutor and former nursery assistant with a passion for childhood development
| I believe that my nursery experience, passion for child development and work ethic are an exclusive combination ideal for a baby sitter As an Oxford biomedical science graduate, I would bring a unique approach to a role which would also allow me to use my break from academia to fulfil my passion for child development. Having volunteered in a nursery for around two months in 2017, I am already familiar with the childcare and the approaches to different age groups. Success as a baby sitter requires flexibility to adapt activities. Such interpersonal skills are already incorporated into my ongoing work as a tutor where I interpret a student’s understanding and tailor lessons. During my degree, I worked with the Oxford Companions homeless support. The experience was sad but also enlightening, fuelling my ambition to work with the vulnerable and go beyond the minimum to provide the best service. Childcare can be busy. Resilience under pressure is illustrated by my academic achievements and laboratory work. I also served as Vice President of the Oxford Student’s Disability Campaign. Here, I had to cater for a range of accessibility needs so I am accustomed to respecting private information, important when working with children.

FAQs for finding childcare in Oxford

How much does it cost in 2025 to hire a childcare provider in Oxford?

Hiring someone on Care.com to provide childcare services will cost an average of £13.00 per hour as of January 2025. 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?

Care.com currently has 2,359 childcare providers Oxford. You can search for childcarers by their distance from Oxford and by hourly pay rate. Then you can compare their experience, specific services they offer and what age groups of kids they specialise in caring for. You can also read reviews from other families in Oxford that have worked with the childcarers you're interested in.

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 Oxford, 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 Oxford and if they are certified in first aid.
