Babysitters in Glasgow

| My brother is 10 years younger than me, so when I was a teen, I was responsible for watching him while our parents were busy. While I have experience handling him as a baby, most of my experience comes from babysitting him from age 4 or so. Our time together included all kinds of activities, both sports and intellectual, feeding him, and sometimes putting him to bed. Since he started school, I've also helped him with homework. I have also babysat the neighbor's kids, who are about the same age as my brother. In Glasgow, during my third year, I babysat a 5-year-old Catalan boy a couple times a week. I had to take him to and from the nursery, give him lunch and put him down for a nap. Sometimes I'd have to babysit his brothers, too. I really enjoyed the time spent with the kids and was proud to see how much they learned in English during our time together. In my fourth year I babysat Gabi (3/4) and Emmanuel (10). With Gabi we read books in Hillhead Library and with Emmanuel played games at their flat. We took walks as well. It was tremendous to see Gabi's improvement in reading during the months we were together.

| Over the summer I am flexible and have lots of spare energy to devote to the things I'm doing. I have worked as a babysitter for numerous families over the past 3 years. I have experience with up to three children at one time, from newborn up to the age of 13 and also children with special needs. I am happy to babysit and take care of some chores such as cooking dinner and cleaning and am also more than happy to take kids outside and run around or do some sort of activity such as swimming or crafty things!

| I am a student studying History and Philosophy at the University of Glasgow. During school holidays i am around the s25 area of sheffield. I have done casual babysitting before for family friends with young children, and have always loved it! I currently look after a 1 year old and a 4 year old and absolutely adore my job. I also helped out at a kids club at my old school. My hope is to become a primary teacher, and babysitting would be a great way for me to start working with children. I can prepare meals, and help with most homework.

| Hiya! I am a mature student currently studying developmental psychology with Glasgow University. I have 15 years of babysitting experience which included cooking, cleaning, homweork help and bathing and bedtime routines. I also have 2 years volunteer experience at Battlefield Primary School, where I worked with children of all ages and abilities. I am currently looking for any kind of babysitter, or childcare work, whether a one off or something more frequent. Because I am studying my availability is mostly in the evening, however, with online lectures I do have a bit more flexibility than usual. I am also available for before school hours, and school drop offs and pick ups.

| I am a 24 year old student, I have just graduated from the Glasgow School of Art and I am taking this year out to apply for my masters. I have been baby sitting since I was 16. I find it pretty easy to get along with kids and they respond well to me. I am reliable, I can cook, I am clean and will clean, I am mature but fun, I am creative and I am patient. I have experience babysitting children from a wide range of ages and backgrounds and feel strongly that all children deserve to have baby sitters who respect them, take an interest in them and put their needs first.

| I’m a 22 year old part time student. I study history at Stirling University. I do not have any professional experience in babysitting however I look after my two year old little cousin often. We play lots of different fun and creative games. I cook him the little sausages he likes and also give him his medication as he has cystic fibrosis. I can help around the house with some light cleaning, laundry or ironing. I also speak intermediate level French and could incorporate simple french terms into my babysitting sessions if wanted. I can also aid in any homework your child may have and help them bathe and get ready for bed.

I'm a Norwegian girl recently moved to Glasgow to study and work. I am 23 and fluent in English. My past child-care experiences have been with my younger cousins, all male. I have picked them up from school, prepared lunch and breakfast, watched over them during playtime, and put them to bed if babysitting late at night. Their ages have ranged from 6-12, but I am very happy to care for children younger or older than this. I really enjoy spending time with children and therefore would love to continue working as a babysitter now that I'm based in Glasgow.

| I currently work in a Nursery and do babysitting/childminding in the evenings after 6pm and free during the day and night time at the weekends. I’ve been working with children since I was 17 years old (almost 10 years experience).

| I am currently a Law student at the University of Glasgow. I am reliable, responsible and mature person who is always willing to help. I have been babysitting for over 5 years now and love taking care of children. I have experience looking after children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. I love animals, so pets are no problem. I am more than happy to prepare and cook meals, as well as helping out with homework if that is something that you would like. Although I do not have any childcare qualifications, I do have basic first aid training as well as years of experience in looking after children. References can be given if required.

| My name is Khloé and I’m 22 years old. I’ve recently just qualified as a Child Development Officer after 2 years of studying. Most of my experience is working with children from 0-5 years old, however I am also capable of working with older. Due to current circumstances, I am currently unable to get a job in my field so I am looking to work in the babysitting business to further my experience and time spent working with children. I have my own car and am a non smoker, and I am also more than comfortable with pets. They say never work with children or animals however I’m in love with both. :)
