I am very happy to do daytime sitting and drop in visits when I am available which are Tuesdays, Wednesday afternoon and Thursday. I am currently based in Portsmouth but however during holidays I will be able to do places around Chichester. I have 2 dogs at home and have looked after 5 cats before. I will care, play and feed them at the right time during my stay.

I’m offering babysitting services during the daytime, evenings, after school & weekends in South Wales area (Caerphilly, Cardiff & areas close by). I’ve got a DBS and I’m the oldest of 5 children, with the youngest one aged 5, so I’m very experienced with young children.
Holly S
I’m offering babysitting in the West Kent region. I am very flexible, and I’m available for daytime, after school, evenings and weekends. I am DBS checked as I also work part-time with a teaching agency, and have lots of experience working with daycare aged children (6months-4years), and primary KS1&2 children. I don’t drive yet, but I am very used to public transport and walking to places so this isn’t something I feel limits me too much.
Seni A
Hi, I’m Seni — I’m a final-year Law with Criminology student at the University of Sussex, expected to graduate next month with First Class Honours. I’m responsible, caring, and naturally good with children, thanks to my family background and babysitting experience. Why choose me? - I’ve helped care for my younger sister over the past 18 years, so I understand what it takes to support, guide, and look after children at different stages of their growth. - I’ve also provided babysitting support for neighbours’ children, with experience caring for kids as young as 4 years old — handling everything from meal prep and playtime to homework and bedtime. - I’m patient, approachable, and always focus on creating a safe, positive, and enjoyable space for children. What I offer: - Babysitting during daytime, evenings, or weekends - Engaging activities like storytelling, play, sports and arts & crafts - Homework help or reading support if needed - Light household tasks while supervising I’m passionate about helping families by offering reliable and friendly childcare. Whether you need support for a few hours or something more regular, I’d love to help!

I am happily offering babysitting during daytime and after school. I am available from 3pm till 6pm during the week. As for experience I have babysit my cousins babies and kids from my neighbourhood. I can also help them with their homework and have a fun time with them. I would prefer a house with pets but only that have cats.

I’d like to offer babysitting services during the daytime, evenings, weekends, and holidays. I have experience caring for my godchildren, newborn nephew, and younger siblings, and I truly love working with kids. I connect well with children of all ages and have also worked in a primary school for a short period, which has given me additional experience in childcare. I am responsible, patient, and committed to creating a fun and safe environment for the children I look after
