About Me

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to review my profile. I have 10 years of experience and multiple qualifications related to childcare.
I am a happy, energetic, trustworthy and well-mannered person.

I started babysitting when I was 15 years old. I have lots of experience with children aged 2 months to 15 years old! I have both paid and volunteering experience. When I was 18, I started tutoring.

I am a driver with a full drivers license and a car.

I do have a small Pomeranian (2KG) who would be present if I look after your children in my home. She has been around children since I got her so she is very much used to children.

My Experience

I started volunteering as a young leader at my local brownie group when I was 15 years old. This is when I started babysitting.

From the ages of 15 - 19, I mostly did evening and weekend babysitting.

Between the ages of 20 - 22, I had a job with a family where I did the school run and evening routine. I also did a lot of full weekend babysitting jobs and evening babysitting along side working.

At 23, I opened my own business which meant I could only babysit in the evenings & on the weekends.

I absolutely love doing the school run & helping with homework, cooking dinner & playing games before bed. I am open for a part time or adhoc only. I am also happy to look at your children for overnight/for a full weekend.

I am a mature, caring, friendly person. I have always loved children and enjoy looking after them.

Jessica babysat for my 2 children aged 2 and 4 yesterday for the first time. She came and meet with the children a few days prior as an interview as I was worried about leaving my children as I have never used a babysitter before but she ended up playing with them for over an hour and I felt totally at ease.

She made myself and my husband feel very comfortable and she has a great attitude, she is always happy and optimistic. I say this because we returned home last night to find her with sick all down her clothes but she didn't moan once.

Me and my husband are thrilled to have welcomed Jessica into our home on multiple occasions for ad-hoc babysiting. She is fantastic with our children who love being looked after by her.
She is punctual, very friendly and has a heart of gold. I could not recommend her enough.

It is a pleasure to look after your little angels!

Jessica is very good with my children, I first hired her as emergency cover as my Nanny was sick. I stayed home with them this day but was working from my office. I was very impressed, the children were happy all day and sad when she went home! They love it when i go out in the evening now. She is very fun and relaxed with them but I have heard her telling them off a few times for hiting each other which Is great because often babysitters let them get away with bad behaviour!

Really nice girl and glad to have found her!

Jessica is great with our one year old son. Jessica is a natural with him and is very good at keeping him entertained. He really enjoys playing with her. She is very reliable, always on time, is flexible and very friendly. We're really glad to have found Jessica.

Unfortunately we were let down by this babysitter. Despite confirming that she would be coming to babysit in the evening, she failed to turn up. No phone call or message and did not answer my calls.

hello, we had agreed for me to babysit on the 28th which it is not yet the 28th so this is very unfair feedback.
I have not had any calls from your number as I have your number saved.
I feel you should re-consider this feedback as it is unfair,
you haven't given me a chance to turn up as we are only on the 25th!

Hi just like to recommend Jessica who babysat my two older children a couple of weeks ago and kept them entertained.

thanks you, your two children are very well behaved and it was lovely to meet your family. I look forward to babysitting again for you in the future!

I hired Jessica to help with my daughter's school work. Jessica is always on time and isn't one to rush out at the end, if she has to stay 10 minutes later than the agreed time to finish a piece of homework, she does so without complaining.
she is very young but you can tell she loves children and wants the best for them. Everytime I walk past the study to make sure they are getting on ok, I hear giggling and often singing of the timetables and spellings! She always makes it fun.
Only yesterday, my little girl at dinner suggested we played 'sing and dance to the timetables'. I can only assume Jessica taught her this!
she is a lovely girl, her hourly rate is extremely reasonable too.

see you again after christmas, have a good time!

Jessica recently got in touch with in asking me for a reference but before meeting her through my daughters brownies club, i was using this site to find myself a babysitter and i used to read everyone's reviews so suggested it might be easier for me to leave a reference on here for you all to read.

I met Jessica when she was 15 and she was my babysitter for 3 years. She looked after my two daughters.
She is kind, reliable and is naturally very good with children, she always plays games with them (doesn't just sit on the couch on her phone, i have had this before!)

My two girls both loved her and couldn't of been happier with having her as a babysitter. I never had any worries or fears leaving Jessica alone with my children or in my house.

She is very flexible and happy to stay late which is always a bonus!

If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message.

Thank you for the reference, I really appreciate it.

I have used Jessica 4 times now, she is never late or never complains when you get in late. She gets on well with my children and they love it when Jessica picks them up from school and looks after them.
