Genuine, Caring, Fun and Enthusiastic Babysitter available Weekdays and Weekends
| I am a social work student studying at the University of Birmingham. I am offering a babysitting service for weekday and weekends. I have grown up with children my entire life as my mother is a OFSTED registered childminder. From the age of 18 I have been registered as her assistant therefore have experience working under OFSTED and I understand the importance of child safety and safeguarding. I spent my summer holidays working in a children's play club so, I have an abundance of experience caring for children of varying ages. I enjoy building relationships with children and watching them grow and explore their childhood. Being able to provide care for quality and safe care for children while their parents/ guardians have a much needed break (especially after the year he have had) is an amazing feeling and I throughly enjoy babysitting and caring for children. I have a full DBS which I can show upon request.
