A considerate student to look after your children with the flexibility, love and care they deserve

| Hi there, I'm Laura and I have just graduated from my undergraduate degree and i am now applying to study my PhD. I don't have any babysitting experience but i have looked after friends younger siblings whilst they or parents are out of the room. I have also grown up with a mum that works as a teacher and i have always loved going in to help out in classes as a one off. I am a competent individual that learns quickly. I love working with younger children, it is time well spent! At the moment i am not driving but i am willing to walk long distances and i am looking to get myself a bike. I do not have a DBS check as i am not sure the Basic check would be enough for everyone looking for a babysitter so if you would like an enhanced DBS with barred list then i can do with your request. I am also hoping to start a first aid training course when the world calms down slightly! Please don't let lack of experience dissuade you from choosing me as your babysitter. I may not have direct experience in babysitting but i have spent a long time with young children growing up and developed experience that way. I am happy to provide you with a reference if you would like so please don't hesitate to ask. I look forward to hearing from you
