Safe, affordable and loving hands to trust with your children
| Working with children is incredibly fun and rewarding. Children are full of energy and curiosity, and they can teach you a lot about the world around you. As a childminder or babysitter, I'll have the opportunity to play games, read stories, and explore the world with the children in my care. I have had a lot of experience with babysitting family members and friends children from newborn to teenagers. This involved bathing and clothing them, preparing meals, entertaining them, playing games with them and recreational activities. Working with children can be a great way to develop my skills and gain experience. As a childminder or babysitter, I am patient, organized, and attentive to the needs of the children in your care. I am also able to communicate effectively with parents and other caregivers. I can speak and understand English fluently, French as well. Overall, My role as a babysitter will be to provide a safe and nurturing environment for children, to help them grow and develop into happy, healthy adults. I also aim to help parents to balance their work and family responsibilities, which can be a huge source of stress for many families.

Artistic Young Adult Looking For Babysitting Jobs
| Hiya! i’m enaysia, i’m an 18 year old girl based in Southend. I have cared for a max of 4 children in the evening overnight and 3 during the day. i’m good with toddlers and older children and my younger sister has disabilities, so i’m a little experienced there. i’m able to care for multiple kids who are older and more independent and less if they’re younger. when it comes to activities, i love to craft with kids as well as play pretend, role playing families and shops and getting creative with props. and kids can never say no to a little movie night! make some cinema tickets, get some fruit or treats if allowed by you and suddenly they’re VIPs! i love doing things like that for younger kids they get so excited. Smoking and pets: I personally smoke several cigarettes a day. However, it is never inside, very rarely in front of children and if you are a non-smoking household I won’t smoke at all unless of course given permission to smoke elsewhere on the property while the child is inside. As for pets, LOVE cats, no issue there. Not a massive fan of dogs but if they’re friendly and careful i’m good. No creepy crawly things though.
