Fun, responsible and professional babysitter and nanny
| I am a sociologist, aged 27, currently living in Newington. I really enjoy the community, family feel in the neighborhood, and would be happy to offer my services as a dedicated Nanny/babysitter. Over the past four years, I have had experiences with children from 1 year to 12 years old. It has always been wonderful opportunities to learn, and it is important to me to maintain a connection with children. I would say I am a responsible and loving person. I have professional training in non-violent communication and education for gender equality, so I always work from these perspectives. I am playful, and am keen to get to know your children inner world, passions and interests. On a more practical level, I can say I am a very pragmatic and organised person. I have worked in several households, and feel confident in answering your family needs and general organisation, be it around cooking, cleaning routine, and so on. I am also very eager to help with homeworks, and we could envision some Spanish initiation or adapted classes :)

Fun and compassionate Social Work Master's student
| Hello all! My name is Nick and I'm a 23 year-old student getting my Master's in Social Work at the University of Edinburgh. I am empathetic, energetic, and love working with people! I have experience working with kids from my time as a youth rowing coach. For 4 years, I worked with children and teens age 12-17, teaching them to row crew, cooperate as a team, and build confidence. As an undergraduate, I worked as a Resident Assistant in a first-year dorm. I received training in leadership, safety, and inclusion; I went on to manage a floor of 40 Freshman, maintain Covid-19 safety during the pandemic, and facilitate community-building activities. I decided to join Care.com to find a flexible job that helps pay tuition while I complete my studies. I have CPR certification and crisis management qualifications. Through my social work program, I have received PVG clearance to work with both adults and children. I am passionate about cooking and am comfortable with meal-prep and household cleaning/organization. I love the outdoors, arts & crafts, books (I majored in English as an undergrad!) and Pixar movies! Please reach out with any questions and if you are in need of a babysitter!

a creative, engaging, and responsible babysitter/nanny
| Hiya! My name is Elise, I am originally from California (have lived here just over a year now), and I very recently completed an MSc at the Uni of Edinburgh where I studied psychology. I have been working with kids since I was a teen--everything from camp counseling to babysitting to au pairing to nannying. I have a particular soft spot for 2-6 year olds but have experience with children both younger and older. If your kids lean toward the creative, I am likely a good fit! I love engaging with arts and crafts, building pillow forts, designing with legos, and all things imaginative. Back in the US I renewed my CPR certification every two years. I am now overdue but am happy to get recertified if this would make you feel more at ease.

Looking for a part time nanny position (could speak/ teach French)
| I have experience as an Au pair in Germany, looking after 4 children (9, 7, 2 and 1 years old), doing light housework and preparing meals for the family. I also did a lot of babysitting when I was studying in France, in Paris and Bordeaux. The children were 12, 7, 5 and 2 years old. And more recently I babysat for friends a couple of days a week, as they were waiting for their child (1 and a half year old) to get a space at the nursery. I studied Social services at the Edinburgh College in ####/####, and worked as a support worker with people with learning disabilities for two and a half years. I also worked with teenagers on the autistic spectrum for six months, doing outdoor activities, one day every fortnight. I am a native French speaker so I could speak or teach French, if required. I really enjoy working with children, encouraging them to explore and learn, seeing them grow and evolve. I like to do outdoor activities, crafts, play board games, read. I also really like cooking and baking and enjoy including children in doing that, if they want.'

Friendly young person with a great imagination and love for fun.
| I am responsible and friendly and have volunteered in a number of things working with children. I like arts and crafts, reading, water sports and the theatre. I’m looking for some work whilst I’m studying and think babysitting would be a lot of fun and ideal with schedule. Whilst completing my Duke of Edinburgh award I volunteered at the Gaelic school in Inverness. I worked with the P1 class supporting the teacher in different ways. This role involved supervising the children, playing and reading to them during golden time, helping them with their work and as well as tasks such as tidying up or attaching work to the walls. Last year I helped out with the preschool to P2 Sunday school class at church. This involved doing songs with them, helping with crafts and activities and making sure they were safe. This summer I was a leader at a Free Church Youth Camp. It was a girls camp for ages 12-15. The role involved supervising the girls, setting up activities and being there for emotional and spiritual support. I’ve also babysat 2 children, aged 5 and 13, which involved getting them their dinner, tidying up, playing games and getting the youngest to bed early.

Babysitter/ nanny/ childminder/ recent fine art graduate
| I am an experienced babysitter, have worked in a nursery, and have first aid training for babies, children, and adults. I am a proficient cook and baker, having worked in a bakery. I love arts and crafts. For me, learning new things is the most fulfilling thing about my life, and I would love to share my enthusiasm for this with young minds. I think it is important to explain things to children about what we are up to or why we are doing things; treating them with respect is the way I would go about gaining their own respect. When looking after children, I allow them the freedom to discover and explore, but also with an emphasis on personal responsibility. When it comes to consequences for lapses in good behaviour, I think time to reflect on what happened and why is the most productive route. Daily structure and reliability is important for children, and I would put every effort into creating an atmosphere where they felt safe, respected, and relaxed.

I have over 7 years of babysitting and childcare experience, including working as a teacher, swim instructor, and nanny. I am certified in CPR, first aid, and AED response for children, infants, and adults. I love working with children, every job I’ve ever had has been in childcare! I plan to continue my career in education when I graduate. I should mention that my student visa does not allow me to work more than 20 hours per week and I am currently in school so I will usually only be free in the evenings once I finish up classes.
