Experienced Babysitter in St Albans Area
| I am an experienced babysitter looking to do occasional childcare in the evenings or at the weekends. I have 5 years of experience looking after children between the ages of 6 months to twelve years, however I am very comfortable with babysitting for all ages. I have also completed the Red Cross Babysitting Course, which has provided me with some basic, but very important, first aid training for babies and children. If they would be of any use, I also have references available upon request from families I have previously babysat for. I'm currently working full time as a trainee fashion buyer, so am looking mainly for babysitting work at the weekends. However, I could do the occasional bit of evening babysitting, depending on timings and distance from my own home! In general I ask for at least one week's notice regarding babysitting slots, however sometimes short notice is unavoidable and during these times I'll always do my best to make myself free! If you live more than 5+ miles away I may ask for help with travel costs. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or queries!
