About Me

Hi! I'm currently a Linguistics and Social Anthropology student at Edinburgh University. I'm reliable and comfortable with short notice changes or requirements. I'm good at art and music and enjoy sharing this with others. I'm also happy and able to do light housework and cooking. I also grew up in Wales and speak Welsh.

My Experience

I have babysat my little sister, younger cousins, neighbour's children and also a lot of paid regular and one off babysitting, mostly with under 5s. I've been babysitting regularly for more than 3 years whilst studying. I have also worked a summer job at a children's English language summer school where I was responsible for the children's welfare. I also have a lot of close family and friends, including children, on the Autistic Spectrum, so I have a lot of personal experience with it.

My Qualifications

I am due to finish my degree in November. I have also completed a infant first aid certificate, and a teaching English as a foreign language course.

My Fees

  • Babysitting from £12.00 per hour

£12 an hour. If the babysitting finishes sometime between 10:30pm to 6am and it is some distance away, then I would also need a lift home, or payment for a taxi.

5 stars

Great communication, super punctual, professional, and easy to work with. Our kid is a solid sleeper, so Emily stayed in our flat with the baby monitor and kept an eye on things while we went out for a celebration dinner. Our first time using this site, and it was a breeze. Thanks Emily!

My family and I were visiting Edinburgh, and Emily was able to help us watch our baby while my wife and I had a night out. She was wonderful and would highly recommend!

Fantastic babysitter and family favourite

5 stars

Emily is a brilliant babysitter. She's been looking after our almost two year old one morning a week for the past several months and it's been a fantastic experience. Our toddler is always excited to see her and has no trouble at all saying goodbye to me and going out for a walk or an adventure with Emily. She's great at keeping him entertained I'm always confident that he's in safe hands while I'm away.

Life saver!

5 stars

Emily has been fantastic for us, looking after our 3 & 1 year olds recently for several mornings/afternoons a week. She has done everything we could’ve asked her to do, & more (helping with meals, changing, taking them out for walks, etc etc) but most importantly both adore her (‘When is Emily coming back?’ or ‘I want to see Emily’. She has been punctual, is patient, respectful & gentle, & has been a huge help. Couldn’t recommend her more.

Emily has been a huge help

5 stars

Emily picks up our two children very early twice a week and takes them to school and nursery respectively.
The children are not always the most cooperative and she is very calm with them!
Emily also picks up our son from school one day a week and looks after him until we get home.
Emily is communicative, punctual and has followed our instructions well! We would certainly recommend her services.

Emily is a great babysitter.

5 stars

Emily was the first babysitter we had ever used. She was patient and experienced with quite young children. It was a pleasant experience for both the child and us as parents.

Reliable, Patient and Kind

5 stars

Emily looked after my 11 month old boy for my first three full days back at work. he had never had a babysitter before, and I was very nervous about him spending a whole day with somebody knew. She assuaged my nerves! Emily was kind and patient when my baby was grumpy and refusing to nap, she played with him and kept him entertained, and she communicated clearly and speedily. would recommend! thanks, Emily!
