Hi there, my name is Chiara. I'm a third year architecture student at the University of Edinburgh, which means I'm usually kept very busy with work, but have only one online course to complete for the beginning of this semester. I hence have lots of time on my hands this month and am keen to do some babysitting (or petsitting etc.) to earn some extra money. I have been babysitting for several years and so have plenty of experience in a variety of situations, meaning I'm very confident and at ease when it comes to minding children. I understand the importance of creating a positive childcare experience for all involved and prioritise open communication with parents. I have also been a petsitter for several years (dogs, cats, chickens, guinea pigs, you name it!) and have pets myself so am very capable of looking after animals. I'm very active and able and so would be very glad to do activities with kids (I also love arts and crafts and am pretty handy with homework help. And make a mean bolognese). I'm open and willing to helping out however would be helpful and have a pretty flexible schedule, so do let me know if you have any questions about my availability. :)
