My Summary
About Me
Hi! I'm currently a Linguistics and Social Anthropology student at Edinburgh University. I'm reliable and comfortable with short notice changes or requirements. I'm good at art and music and enjoy sharing this with others. I'm also happy and able to do light housework and cooking. I also grew up in Wales and speak Welsh.
My Experience
I have babysat my little sister, younger cousins, neighbour's children and also a lot of paid regular and one off babysitting, mostly with under 5s. I've been babysitting regularly for almost 3 years whilst studying. I have also worked a summer job at a children's English language summer school where I was responsible for the children's welfare. I also have a lot of close family and friends, including children, on the Autistic Spectrum, so I have a lot of personal experience with it.
My Qualifications
I did an access course at Newbattle Abbey College to allow me to study at University. I have also completed a infant first aid certificate.

My family and I were visiting Edinburgh, and Emily was able to help us watch our baby while my wife and I had a night out. She was wonderful and would highly recommend!

Emily is a brilliant babysitter. She's been looking after our almost two year old one morning a week for the past several months and it's been a fantastic experience. Our toddler is always excited to see her and has no trouble at all saying goodbye to me and going out for a walk or an adventure with Emily. She's great at keeping him entertained I'm always confident that he's in safe hands while I'm away.

Emily has been fantastic for us, looking after our 3 & 1 year olds recently for several mornings/afternoons a week. She has done everything we could’ve asked her to do, & more (helping with meals, changing, taking them out for walks, etc etc) but most importantly both adore her (‘When is Emily coming back?’ or ‘I want to see Emily’. She has been punctual, is patient, respectful & gentle, & has been a huge help. Couldn’t recommend her more.
