My Summary
About Me
Babysitting has been more than just a job for me it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for children of all ages, from curious toddlers to energetic school-age kids, and each experience has been unique and rewarding.
I take pride in creating a safe and loving environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves. I love planning fun activities, whether it’s building forts, baking cookies, doing arts and crafts, or simply playing their favorite games. I also believe in balancing fun with structure, so I make sure homework gets done, meals are served on time, and bedtime routines are followed.
One of my favorite parts of babysitting is building connections with the children I care for. It’s the little moments like helping a child conquer a tricky homework problem or hearing them laugh at a silly story that make this work so fulfilling. I’m patient, attentive, and always ready to listen, whether they’re sharing their biggest dreams or just how their day went.
Safety and trust are my top priorities. I make sure parents feel completely confident when leaving their little ones in my care. I’m always punctual, follow instructions closely, and handle unexpected situations calmly. If a child is upset or having a tough day, I make it my goal to reassure them and brighten their mood.
Parents have often told me they appreciate my reliability and the way I connect with their children. I treat every family I work with as if they were my own, ensuring their kids feel loved, supported, and, most importantly, happy.
For me, babysitting is more than just watching kids it’s about helping families and being someone they can count on.
My Experience
I have extensive experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to older kids. Babysitting has been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy connecting with children and helping them feel safe, happy, and supported.
When caring for babies, I focus on providing the nurturing attention they need. I am experienced in:
• Feeding (including bottle feeding and preparing baby food).
• Changing diapers and maintaining a clean, comfortable environment.
• Soothing them to sleep with patience and care.
• Engaging in age-appropriate activities like tummy time, singing lullabies, and sensory play to help with their development.
For big boys and girls, I love creating a balance between fun and structure. My responsibilities have included:
• Helping with homework and school projects to ensure they stay on top of their studies.
• Organizing creative activities, outdoor play, and games to keep them active and entertained.
• Preparing meals and snacks that suit their preferences and dietary needs.
• Teaching responsibility through light chores, routines, and encouraging good behavior.
I pride myself on being adaptable, whether it’s handling the unique needs of a baby or keeping up with the energy and curiosity of older kids. I also make it a point to connect with each child on their level, building trust and creating a positive environment where they feel comfortable and valued.
Parents I’ve worked with have told me they appreciate my calm, organized approach and my ability to manage kids of different ages at the same time. For me, babysitting is not just a job it’s about being part of a family’s support system and making a difference in their lives.

Vanessa has been a brilliant babysitter for our three children age 8, 5, and 2. My little girl aged 2 has also had her for daytime care and she attended our wedding to look after our children during the entire day. Vanessa brings a positive attitude, and a really fun approach to childcare whilst prioritising the children’s needs and ensuring they are always safe. I have trusted her to take them to various parts of Oxford as well as keeping them at home. Highly recommend.
