Hello families!
I’ve been babysitting for the last 6 years. This includes before school/after school pick ups, date nights, overnights & weekends or just taking children out for the day (parks, swimming, bounce, bike rides). Before covid I worked part time hours mon-fri after school for one family children 4 & 7. Duties included picking up from school, preparing snacks and then dinner, helping with homework, baths, packing lunches for the following day and taking to tutoring.
During covid I had to leave this family and so moved onto a job at Nido Early School, I worked there for 14 months and had another family (children 3 and 7) that I worked after school hours for. Duties included walking to their school and home. Help with any homework, prepare snacks, baths and bed time. Some days we'd go to the park or walk their dog, go for a bike ride or I'd supervise them in the pool.
I then worked with a lovely family of 3, did full time nanny work mon-fri with additional weekend work if needed. The child was 8 months at the time and so I organised a routine for her, prepared food and milk, sterilised bottles, engaged in age appropriate activities and planned out experiences to expand on her fine motor and gross motor skills eg bubbles, water play, lego, books, playdough, kinetic sand, tummy time. I did extra cleaning, shopping and laundry for the family. I’d take her for walks or to the park.
I’m now looking for my next family as she is now in full-time day care.
