Caring, responsible babysitter/child carer looking to help families
| I am a responsible and hard-working babysitter with experience with children between 3 months - 12 years (references available on request). I am comfortable looking after 2-3 children, depending on age and child's temperament. I can offer flexible hours and emergency childcare. I'm paediatric first aid certified and consider safety and hygiene of the upmost importance. I am happy to help with light household chores, homework and cooking for the children as well as days out and fun activities. I'm willing to do drop off/pick up but do not own a car so any drop off/pick up arrangements would have to be within walking distance. In regards to my education, I selected A-levels/highers since that was the only equivalent option but I am actually an IB graduate.
