Reliable, trustworthy, hardworking fun experienced babysitter.
| I’m a trustworthy, committed, experienced baby sitter, with a fun loving personality. I have experience working with babies & children and I am passionate about watching them grow and develop positively. I have worked in childcare settings as an early years practitioner with children from ages 2 to 5 years and as a baby room leader. I'm currently working with a family of one. I have worked with this family for 2 years nurturing and caring for their little girl from the age of 2 years up to the age of 4 years. I still regularly babysit for the family, but now only on a part- time basis taking her out on day trips, providing activities & light meals and if overnight care is required I'll do bath and bedtimes. I'm looking for part time and can start working with a family immediately.

Loving, dedicated and respectful childcare provider in South London
| I am an extremely friendly, respectful, dedicated, loving and experienced child care provider who has a huge passion for safeguarding and nurturing young children whom I have been working with in both school settings and homes for over 18 years. Being a parent to 2 incredible children, has given me first-hand, invaluable hands-on experience which always not only motivates me to give of my best but also to ensure that the children in my care are not only very safe and contented but that they also achieve their full potential. In addition to the above, I have a first aid training (certificate) valid for 3 years and a current/clean dbs/crb which was issued in November 2021. I not only hold a Bachelor's Degree in Education but also a Diploma in Maternity Nursing and Nannying, both of which come in handy when taking care of children to ensure that they flourish daily. I am a British Citizen, thus have the right to work. My references are readily available for any parents interested in my services. Thank you, Kind regards, Prosper
