My name is Scarlet-Rose. I am a caring and responsible 17-year-old with experience in taking care of children aged 3-12, though I am open to babysitting children of any age. I have booked my paediatric first aid course which I will be attending soon. I enjoy playing games, being artsy, creative, and participating in sports. Although I do not currently have a driving licence, I am willing to do school pick-ups/drop-offs with prior notification. I would love the opportunity to meet your family and discuss how I can provide the best possible care for your children. I babysat four children, ages 5-12, on numerous occasions in the evenings.

Full-Time, Part-Time • Live-Out
Growing up in a close-knit family with siblings has helped me develop a strong sense of patience, and connection with children, especially younger children. I think family is so important as my dad is in the army and it has always been a constant for me. I am currently studying biology, chemistry, and maths, with long-term goals in paediatric care, which reflects my genuine interest in children’s wellbeing and welfare. I am available most weekday evenings, as well as across the weekend, this is due to my education, making me a great option for families needing after-school, evening, or weekend support. I am comfortable caring for children of any age and can work with larger families, including up to four or more children. I am also open to supporting children with disabilities. I can assist with a wide range of household and childcare tasks, including bathing and dressing children, homework help, preparing meals, following special dietary requirements, children’s laundry, light housekeeping, cooking, pet care, and general household support. Due to my first aid training I also feel like I can provide a more reassuring time for parents. In my free time, I enjoy going on walks, crocheting, and caring for my animals(2 dogs and 4 tortoises), showing a gentle and nurturing personality that fits well with family life. I don’t have any experience within a job, but I went to a boarding school where there was 1 trainee houseparent between 40 girls most of the time. So from 9 years old I have been helping girls as young as 7. We would also go down to the pre-prep school to help with the children there who were as young as 4. But I am very confident I could manage younger children!

I'm Lottie from Havant, a friendly, open-minded individual with a knack for social interactions and new experiences. I'm a newbie in professional child care but am enthusiastic and available for immediate part-time positions, preferably live-out. I'm open during the mornings, midday, and evenings; ideal for families needing help before and after school hours or some nights. Experienced with children aged 3-10, I offer more than just supervision; I can help with homework, meal preparations, light housekeeping, pet walking, and event planning. Capable of managing up to three children, I am a 16-year-old dependable, fun-loving babysitter ready to create a positive home experience. I have not done this professionally, but I come from a large family ranging from newborns to elders. I have always fallen into a place of looking after kids younger than me and loved doing it. I have always loved having the opportunity to look after people and help kids. I have always been responsible, kind, and caring. I may be on the younger side, but that doesn’t make me any less experienced or caring toward kids. I have a lot of experience in key aspects of childcare. At school, I did first aid, food tech, and love being a fun and easily approachable person towards everyone.

I am a 19yr old University student. I am going into my 2nd year studying Sport Psychology. I am studying at Winchester however am originally from Portchester and return there for the holidays. I absolutely love sports and being outside whenever I can exploring new places with my dog. When I finish my degree I will hopefully go into working with children either at a primary or secondary level and encouraging sport engagement whilst aiming to engage with them on a personal level and help with their psychological wellbeing and attitudes towards sport as it is more important to me how they feel about/when participating rather than whether they do or not. I have always volunteered to work within primary schools when it has been an option for me and I have worked with a range of ages and a range of behavioural challenges. I also have a cousin with autism and I absolutely love to spend time with him and taking him out and seeing him enjoy himself and being able to see how much of a positive affect I can have on him is just the most rewarding feeling! I feel I am very committed and I will devote my full attention to your child/children. To do this to my best ability I have put 2children max as I have never had to look after more than 2 children on my own and, whilst I feel I probably could, I wouldn’t want to take that next step without being 100% confident. I know that 19 is young and I understand if there is any apprehension however I wouldn’t be willing to answer any questions, call or I can even come for an initial visit so you can see if I would be a good fit for your child and within your home. Although I am 19years old, I have been a trusted baby sitter for family and friends since I was 16. This has included staying overnight with the children and also taking them out for the day. Whilst I will be working with the children I will be working for you so whatever arrangement is most suitable for your work, I can happily work around. I also have experience in sport coaching with children from the ages of 4-14 and I absolutely love sports and being outside so (weather permitting) would try to engage the children in physical activity as I believe it to be such an important thing for kids. I admittedly haven’t got as much experience with academic engagement however I have spent time in primary schools helping with simple maths, reading and science work and feel confident that I could be helpful with children up to 13/14yrs academically, I received exceptional grades myself so believe that I could provide adequate teaching. Should there be anything specific that you would like for them to learn I would also be more than happy to educate myself beforehand to ensure I can confidently pass this on and help them to understand. I have such a passion for working with children and it is an area that I would love to go into after I finish my university studies. I am available immediately until the start of September. I unfortunately can’t drive however I am confident in public transport so, should there be a route to get to you, it shouldn’t cause too many issues. I am located in Portchester so am local to Portsmouth and Fareham however can also travel to surrounding areas (again provided there is public transport) I would also be willing to do overnights should that be necessary however I would prefer to spend time with both you and the children first (no overnights straight away)
