Part-time Female Baby sitter or child educational tutor
| Hello! I am a Biomedical Science graduate from the University of Plymouth, currently pursuing postgraduate studies. I have extensive childcare experience, having volunteered at Sunday school and worked with private clients. I offer various services including meal preparation, light housework, homework assistance, math and science tutoring, and engaging activities like learning to ride a bike and swimming. As a private academic tutor, I am passionate about helping children and students discover their unique learning styles to thrive academically. My education and medical background, including hospital experience, private elderly care, medication handling, CPR training, and a DBS check, enable me to cater to medical needs as well. I also have conversational training in BSL and Makaton. Though I do not currently have my own transport, I am happy to accompany children on public transport, such as buses, taxis, or bikes, if you are comfortable with it. Feel free to contact me with any questions. I am also available to meet for coffee or tea to get to know each other better. Thank you for considering my services, and I look forward to hearing from you!

Alice has been caring for my 88 year old mother for nearly a year now. Mum has mild dementia. She is dependable, caring, and has brought new perspectives to my mums life. She is an excellent cook, is quick to see what else can be done around the flat… washing, cleaning, putting the bin out!! She has been a real blessing, and I would whole heartedly recommend her to anyone who needs support with an older relative."

FAQs for finding childcare in Plymouth

How much does it cost in 2024 to hire a childcare provider in Plymouth?

Hiring someone on Care.com to provide childcare services will cost an average of £11.77 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?

Care.com currently has 973 childcare providers Plymouth. You can search for childcarers by their distance from Plymouth 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 Plymouth 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 Plymouth, 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 Plymouth and if they are certified in first aid.
