My Summary

My Experience

I have extensive experience in childcare, combining both personal and professional backgrounds. As a final-year student nurse, I have developed strong caregiving skills, including first aid, Basic Life Support (BLS), and an understanding of child development, ensuring I can provide safe and attentive care. My training has also given me experience in caring for children with additional needs and disabilities, allowing me to adapt my approach to meet each child’s unique requirements with patience, empathy, and understanding.

Beyond my nursing education, I have hands-on experience as an aunt and stepmother to a young boy, giving me first-hand knowledge of the dedication, responsibility, and nurturing care needed to support children in their daily routines. I am comfortable assisting with sensory needs, mobility support, communication strategies, and emotional regulation. Whether it’s playtime, homework help, bedtime routines, or offering reassurance and comfort, I am committed to ensuring children feel safe, supported, and valued in my care.

My Qualifications

I bring a strong educational background and relevant qualifications to my babysitting services. I have completed 9 GCSEs and 3 A-Levels, demonstrating my academic commitment and ability to manage a variety of subjects. I am currently in my final year of an undergraduate Adult Nursing degree, where I have gained in-depth knowledge in patient care, child development, and healthcare practices.

Additionally, I hold certifications in Manual Handling, ensuring I am well-trained in safely lifting and supporting individuals, which is particularly important for children with additional needs. I am also trained in First Aid and Basic Life Support (BLS), providing me with the skills to confidently respond in emergencies, including managing minor injuries and handling medical situations until more advanced care can be provided. These qualifications give me the expertise to provide safe, professional, and compassionate care for children of all ages.

I offer flexible babysitting availability to accommodate a variety of schedules. I am available evenings throughout the week, as well as all day on Saturdays and Sundays. For overnight care, I am happy to discuss specific dates and arrangements, ensuring it works for both you and your family. Whether you need a regular babysitter or occasional support, I’m here to provide reliable and compassionate care for your children when you need it most.
