About Me

Hi, I'm Lois! I'm a friendly, caring, and responsible individual with a passion for working with children of all ages. I have a warm and approachable nature, and I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children to learn and play. I’m currently studying for my MSc in Social Work and have previous experience working in nurseries and educational settings, so I understand the importance of child development, routine, and emotional support.

I'm reliable, organised, and great at engaging children through imaginative play, stories, arts and crafts, and outdoor activities. I also have lived experience of Autism, which has made me incredibly understanding, patient, and inclusive. Whether you need regular babysitting or occasional evening help, I’d love to support your family.

My Experience

I have extensive experience working with children of all ages, from toddlers to early primary, in a range of professional childcare settings. Over the past several years, I have worked in nurseries such as British Rose Nursery (UAE), Maple Bear Nursery (UAE), Wee Gems Nursery (Scotland), and Happitots Nursery (Scotland), supporting children in their day-to-day care, development, and learning.

In these roles, I worked as a Class Teacher, Key Worker and Junior SEN Teacher, responsible for planning activities, completing developmental observations, and maintaining regular communication with parents and carers. I also supported children with additional needs, including those with Autism and global developmental delay, ensuring they received inclusive, individualised care.

I have experience with creating and implementing Individualised Education Plans (IEPs), and I worked closely with SENCOs, class teachers, and families to provide tailored support. I have also completed placements in social care and community support settings.

Alongside this, I have informal babysitting experience for family and friends and bring a calm, reliable, and fun approach to every home I support. My background in education and social work means I am well-equipped to handle a wide variety of needs with empathy, structure, and understanding.

My Fees

  • Babysitting from £10.00 per hour

My standard rate is £10–£12 per hour, depending on the number of children, the time of day, and any additional responsibilities (e.g. homework help/ bedtime routines). I am happy to discuss and agree on a rate that works best for your family based on your individual needs and requirements.

I am happy to travel to your home, and I am based locally. If travel involves a longer distance or finishes late in the evening, a small additional transport fee may be required to cover public transport or a taxi. I’m always happy to discuss this in advance to make sure it works for both of us.
