Other Skills
A calm, reassuring and nurturing presence. I look to assist each child I work with to reach their best potential. I look for learning experiences for your children - but not in an overwhelming way. Most times they won't even realise. Watch them become super spellers if that's their thing. Love playing board games. Did you say they like Play Doh or arts and crafts - well let's do it! It is so important to get the kids outside. I'll hit a tennis ball around no problem. Let's take the dog for a nice long walk too :-)

Looking for: Casual Babysitting
I have a tertiary qualification in history and have part completed a teaching degree. I have worked in schools and boarding schools for many years, so I have had a lot of hands-on experience with children of all ages. I have references from professional people whose children have been under my care. I am highly experienced with children of all ages. I have raised my own daughter who is now 29. I am a big believer in making sure that little ones are as secure as I can make them feel when their parents can't be around. For the more confident, older ones there is lots of exploring, play, discovery and fun to be had! Perhaps there is some cooking we can do? I work on a combination of following and developing what interests them, together with opening up a new horizon of interests they haven't even tried yet! Sometimes life has to be serious - and boundaries are necessary. Your child's safety is my priority. If there is homework to be done, I can certainly provide guidance. I don't take to just sitting around all night whilst babysitting - so if there is some washing to sort and fold, send it my way. If you need school holiday help, I can be there for you too, as it is all a joy to me! Perhaps you are in desperate need of a weekend away with just your husband - then give me a call. The kids don't have a grandma who lives nearby - I would be more than happy to help fill the void :-). You may need some school holiday help, or perhaps you have had a new baby and just need a bit of a helping hand and calm influence whilst you get yourself on track. I look forward to hearing from you if would like me to help you out.
I am mostly looking for one-off casual or short-term roles or a few hours one day a week.
