I live at home with my family and currently have lots of availability. I am a kind and caring person with a friendly nature and a good sense of humour. I really enjoy spending time with children and helping them feel safe and settled. I love doing arts and crafts, playing games and getting children active through sport and outdoor play. I am confident caring for children of different ages and always try to create a fun and supportive environment where children feel comfortable and looked after. I am happy to help with school runs, bedtime routines and light tidying. I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident that their child is in safe and caring hands. I have four years of babysitting experience caring for children from multiple families in private homes. I have looked after between one and three children at a time, covering a range of ages. My responsibilities included supervising play, preparing meals and snacks, helping with bedtime routines, supporting homework, and ensuring children were safe and comfortable at all times. I have also worked as a gymnastics coach for children aged 2–12 at a local gymnastics centre, where I was responsible for supervising larger groups of children at once. This role involved leading age-appropriate activities, maintaining a safe environment, managing behaviour, and ensuring all children were engaged and supported. When caring for children, I prioritise safety, clear routines and positive engagement, while following parents’ instructions and meeting each child’s individual needs.

I'm Matilda, an enthusiastic 18-year-old with a love for children, currently living in Southwark, London. I recently moved here from Ireland to pursue a degree and a career in acting. I am of Irish-Australian descent and have lived in various countries including the Netherlands, making me culturally enriched. Having had experience of being a nanny for a year, I can shoulder the responsibility of taking care of children with ages ranging from 3 to over 10 years. I am comfortable working with up to two children at a time. However, I must mention that I am not equipped to work with children with disabilities. Being a part-time babysitter, I am available for duty during the mornings, afternoons, and evenings on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and weekends, with the flexibility of working on Friday nights. Aside from childcare, I am also willing to bathe and dress children, help with homework, adhere to special dietary rules, maintain kitchen cleanliness, do family laundry, supervise other household staff, run errands, including grocery shopping, prepare meals for the children, and even attend to the family pet. In my spare time, I love sports, art, photography, baking and have a penchant for theatre and movies due to my current pursuit in acting. My previous education includes a High school diploma, college, along with First Aid and CPR training. Although I am a university student, I can assure that my commitment to providing the best child care to your family will not waiver. I am enthusiastic and eager to start immediately looking forward to creating a safe and stimulating environment for your children. I have babysat for around a year all in Ireland. I started for my previous neighbours and then also for another couple. Both family’s had no more than two children each. I would spend my weekends with the children while the parents were busy and occasionally on weekdays.

Confident and adaptable, I am a 23-year-old with a strong determination and purpose in life. Currently, I'm nearing the end of my journey toward obtaining a dual degree—a Bachelor of Laws and a Bachelor of Arts majoring in Politics. I'm completing these degrees while on exchange at the University of Manchester. My intention is to establish roots here in the UK, a country that I've always been attached to. I was born in Richmond, however in 2008 my family made the decision to shift to New Zealand to be closer to family. However, I always knew I wanted to return back to London and feel lucky to have family there that I can lean on for support. One of the most significant of those aspirations includes making an active, tangible difference in the lives of individuals. In line with this vision, employment in a childcare environment provides an ideal opportunity. It allows me to create meaningful connections and have a positive impact on young lives. I have privately cared for children as a babysitter and a nanny for seven years in Auckland, New Zealand. As the eldest daughter with a brother who is tens years younger, I quickly learnt everything that goes into looking after young children as I was responsible for helping my mother while she was working. In my other jobs I have looked after kids between two and twelve, and between one and three children at one time. From these different jobs I have had vast experience with different situations associated with childcare such as sibling fights, tantrums, and injuries. I am therefore well-equipped to tactfully handle any challenge that a child may try to throw my way. However, I pride myself in being able to create meaningful connections that I like to think is unique to someone with such younger siblings.

I am a very outdoorsy person. Rain or shine, I love taking the children outside. There is no bad weather, just the need for the right clothing. I enjoy taking the little ones into the forest to get muddy and have fun. I have a 14-year-old child who is great with kids because he is used to having them around and enjoys showing them how to do things and helping them. I have now been a private nanny for around five years. I worked in healthcare for 15 years and still do banking the odd times which keeps my DBS, NISCC and first aid up to date. I have worked for four families now. I am in touch with all of them as you become so close to all members of the family. I've worked with children with extreme food allergies and ADHD. Not only do I help with the children but I help around the house to take that little bit of pressure for parents to come in after work and all they need to have time for is family time.

I’m a passionate student looking to offer my babysitting and overall household care services to families. I’m interested in babysitting because I love caring for children and have enjoyed babysitting in the past. I have a 18 month old sister and have been very hands on in caring for her. I’ve also done other babysitting jobs and worked in a nursery. I’m currently studying psychology and have done so before so I understand a lot about child development, mental health and how to best care for and educate children based on their developmental stages. Some of my hobbies include reading, pet sitting, going to the gym, going out to eat, cooking and watching television series. I’m a huge animal lover and I have 1 dog and 2 cats and lots of strays! I love all animals and one of my biggest dreams is to own and home with a farm so I can accommodate for the all my beautiful animals. I’m quite a hands on babysitter in that I love to cook and clean, it can be difficult to do when looking after children but I tend to do an amazing job, especially when it comes to cooking as I really love doing this. I love doing a range of activities with children, some of my favourites I’ve done in the past are making Halloween costumes, Easter egg hunts, building forts inside and outside and going to the zoo. I’m open to all activities and helping with homework and overall learning activities. I also tutor English and Psychology so happy to help with all educational needs. Overall I’m not just here to babysit children I’m here to help the family release some pressures, so even if you need a household cleaner, cook or tutor I can fulfil these tasks too. I think it’s so important to support parents because parenting really is a full time job and can be stressful at times. We all need a break sometimes so whenever you need a break and are looking for someone caring, hardworking, supportive and understanding I’m here to help. Luckiest Big Sister Ever!!! August 2022 First and foremost I am proud to be a big sister to my baby girl, after being an only child for so long I’ve always wanted a sibling. I’ve always loved babies and looking after children, so when my mums started IVF I was so excited. The past 18 months of her life have been the happiest 18 months of my life. And I say that in THE most honest and humble way possible. I’m sure it’s easy to say as I’m not there 24/7 as a parent but I can wholeheartedly say I’m there about 70% of the time and I help my parents out ALOT because I love children in general but having a sister is the best thing in the world. She is an angel and so intelligent. I have pretty much done everything except give birth to her, that’s how hands on I’ve been, my family always joke that I’m like her third mum, because of the huge age gap and how much I’m with her. Now she’s at nursery and I’m at university I don’t know what to do with myself! I miss her so much.
