Amanda has not been with us long, but she is already forming a good bond with the kids. I am impressed at her professionalism and also her warmth with the children. It is the first time I have been able to work from home uninterrupted, which is not easy with my clingy little ones! Thanks Amanda."

I am a 37 year-old mother of 2. I have worked as a lunch club assistant, teaching assistant, toddler group leader and in nurseries as a key-worker for children or as a supply staff. I love my job, but feel that I can give more as a childminder. I am currently working as a childminder full time. I have a level 3 in Children's Care, Learning and Development, CYPOP5 for homebased childcare, paediatric first aid, child protection, food hygiene certificates. I speak English and German fluently and a little bit of Welsh. I enjoy the outdoors and lots of arts and craft activities indoors or outdoors, making music, baking and cooking. I find it important that children get the chance to join in with cooking, baking, getting messy for arts and crafts, but also to know that things need to be cleaned afterwards. If you have any questions please get in touch with me and ask. Thanks

Experienced nanny Cared for a family of 5 under age of 6 Twin and new born experience
| Ever since I can remember, I have known that children will be a big part of my life. I started babysitting at the age of 15. Children open up to me almost immediately. They trust me and talk to me because I can relate to them and their world and their imagination. My internships, while I was studying childcare, taught me that every child is different and they all need to be spoken to and cared for differently. They all have their own background and story. It takes time to figure out what goes on in a child’s mind and I take my time to listen and try to understand why a child is the way he or she is. Then I try to work out what I can do to make their lives easier and better.

I am student at Swansea University, available from late January 2019
| I am a student at Swansea University. I have a wide range of experience, of which is explained below. The last 2 summers I was a nanny for a family in Bristol with 3 young children. This involved: supporting a mother in the household and providing a safe, caring and stimulating environment for young children; taking children on day trips (e.g. to the zoo); light housekeeping duties; helping children learn as well as ensuring that the children are safe at all times. I have worked within the home, a church crèche/playgroup, nursery and I do regular babysitting, as well as childminding across a range of age groups. I am very flexible in what type of childcare is needed, whether it is school drop-offs/ pick-ups, daytime care or babysitting during the evening. This summer I worked with young people aged 15-17 year on residential trips (located in Wales and Bristol) as well as assisting them in carrying out successful charity projects. This has been an intense job where I have managed a large amount of responsibility. Please contact me if you are interested, I am happy to come and meet you if you are interested at all.

FAQs for finding childcare in Swansea

How much does it cost in 2024 to hire a childcare provider in Swansea?

Hiring someone on Care.com to provide childcare services will cost an average of £11.61 per hour as of November 2024. This rate may vary depending on the experience each childcare provider has, how many kids you will need them to watch, the age of your children, and whether you need part-time or full-time childcare.

How can I find childcare help near me?

Care.com currently has 1,132 childcare providers Swansea. You can search for childcarers by their distance from Swansea and by hourly pay rate. Then you can compare their experience, specific services they offer and what age groups of kids they specialise in caring for. You can also read reviews from other families in Swansea that have worked with the childcarers you're interested in.

What interview questions should I ask a childcare provider?

You want to find a childcare provider that will get along with your kids, but also follows many of the same parenting ideas you have. Structure your questions around how your kids behave in certain situations and what the provider thinks is the best action to take. And because there are plenty of activities to do in Swansea, you should ask questions about the fun things each childcare provider would do to keep your kids happy and entertained. Finally, ask each provider about their past childcare experience, references from other families in Swansea and if they are certified in first aid.
