My Summary
About Me
Babysitter available for evening childcare on weekdays & morning, daytime and evenings on weekends in Liphook.
I can also cover the Whitehill & Bordon area on occasion.
My Experience
I have 15 years experience looking after children between the ages of 3 months - 13 years. I am happy to look after children of all ages including newborn.
I had my own baby in April 2023 so now have the added experience of those very early newborn days!
I currently work in a nursery with children ages 1-5 years.
Before my current nursery, I spent 5.5 years working at a nursery in my hometown, having been based in rooms for 1.5 - 2.5 year olds, 2.5 - 3.5 year olds and in the Preschool room for 3.5 - 5 year olds. I covered in rooms for all ages when required including under 1s and non-walkers.
My favourite part of working in a nursery and with children in general has been getting to know the variety of personalities and characters you meet along the way. What is most important is knowing that the children in my care feel safe, happy and loved as well as feeling supported to use their freedom to explore and learn safely.
In babysitting roles I support children's evening and/or bedtime routines, being a safe person for children who may be feeling a bit anxious without their parents.
My experience prior to and including nursery means I am very comfortable with providing care within the birth to five age group and beyond.
I have had positions looking after an 11 month old girl until she was 3.5 years old, 5 year old boy (Year R) - getting him ready for the school day, walking to school, supervising and helping with reading and home learning & a 9 month old boy until he turned 1 - from breakfast until dinner including making bottles, feeding, nappy changes and playing - all the practice helped when my own son was born!

I have had some experience of looking after twins, children with medical conditions/dietary requirements and additional/special needs (autism/ASD, mild-moderate hypermobility.)

My Availability
*JANUARY 2025 UPDATE*
I have returned to working in a nursery following maternity leave so my availability is based around my shifts and currently whether families are happy for me to bring my son with me (turns 2 in April 2025), until he is more used to being without me! There may be times I can babysit without him, dependent on the start time and duration. I believe in being honest and realistic so that I do not let anybody down.
After school availability will depend on which days and from what time required. Please note on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays I am not able to do straight after school due to other work commitments.
I do not currently drive so any arrangements will need to consider walking distance.
Please let me know days and times you require care for your child/children and I will do my best to work to your needs.
