About Me
Hello, I am a recent graduate and looking for families to start babysitting for in Newcastle. I enjoy spending time with children, especially doing arts and crafts activities as well as exploring the outdoors; I also have experience with special needs children.

My Experience
I have lots of experience working with children, as seen below. Please feel free to ask me for a reference after our first meeting.
Babysitter (2022 -2024)
For two years I have been babysitting for a family with a child diagnosed with ADD, successfully managing and communicating with the child creating engaging and varied activities that meet their needs.
Private Nanny (2022)
As a part-time private nanny, I successfully managed the diverse needs and age ranges of up to four different families.
Disability Support Worker (2020)
During COVID-19, I supported a child with Autism and ADD. During these sessions, we worked together on their communication and interaction with others; a significant improvement was noted in their language, expression, and imagination.
Outdoor Activity Instructor – (PGL) (2018)
I worked with children aged seven to eighteen, I led outdoor activities, including zip wire, problem-solving and evening entertainment.

Willow is friendly, patient, caring and creative. Our one year old can be unsure about new people, but willow took her time to engage her, even singing when she was upset. She also washed up and helped with some chores around the house without us asking her to. She is quick to respond to messages and punctual. I would recommend her.

She is intelligent, kind and full of energy to help in any way she can. I’m always at a loss to be able to know what we’d do without her. She understands what the kids need. Does a great job with the varied needs of my kids. One who has adhd. Keeps them busy. Keeps them doing chores but so that they find it a fun part of the experience of being with her. She even cooks!

Willow helped me with a last minute need for a childminder. She was on time and was very friendly with my son. Kept him engaged with different activities while we were away and was sending us prompt update in between as well. I came back to a happy child , who said he enjoyed Willow's company and was very friendly and kind. I would definitely recommend Willow and is happy to have her again for babysitting.
