Caring, responsible babysitter/child carer looking to help families
| I am a responsible and hard-working babysitter with experience with children between 3 months - 12 years (references available on request). I am comfortable looking after 2-3 children, depending on age and child's temperament. I can offer flexible hours and emergency childcare. I'm paediatric first aid certified and consider safety and hygiene of the upmost importance. I am happy to help with light household chores, homework and cooking for the children as well as days out and fun activities. I'm willing to do drop off/pick up but do not own a car so any drop off/pick up arrangements would have to be within walking distance. In regards to my education, I selected A-levels/highers since that was the only equivalent option but I am actually an IB graduate.

  • St. Andrews
Young student with experience in childcare
| Hi there, I am currently looking for babysitting jobs in my university town, as among the professions I have experience in, childcare is really one I genuinely enjoy. I started quite early by caring for many younger cousins as the eldest. Since then I have had formal jobs babysitting first for a young 6 year-old girl in my home town in Geneva, Switzerland. I looked after her during the summer holidays for 8 hours a day, planning our outdoor activities, until about dinner time. I have also cared for up to three children at a time. Starting with a 5-month old, I assisted with childcare and housekeeping duties, and continued until the child was almost 4 years old, and took on the care of two younger siblings at the same time. I am equally able to prepare meals throughout the day (and am able to work around allergies etc.). I also have extensive experience in sports and have worked in a summer camp for children aged 8-12 in my home town, so am able to coordinate any activities outdoors if that is needed. Please let me know if there is any other additional information you may need, and if you would like any formal references from me. Ishani
