About Me

I’m 23 years old and a Philosophy and Politics (soon to be) graduate from the University of Edinburgh. I’m was very active in the student community and was a part of several university societies. I also worked multiple jobs part time alongside my studies.

I’m looking for childcare work in the Edinburgh area, usually on a regular/semi regular/ad hoc basis. I am looking to take on both babysitting and nannying work. I will also take work weekdays and weekends as well as during the day and at night.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my cat, going to the theatre and swimming.

My Experience

I have now been babysitting for a decade! I started off with family friends in my home town and look after at least 6 different families over the course of 8 years.

Since starting work in Edinburgh in May 2023 I have worked with over 20 different families, with kids who have a variety of needs, including those with Autism, learning disabilities and other additional needs. The ages ranged from 11 months-12 year olds.

I understand that all families are different and I think this is what makes them special! I am happy to work with (and are doing so currently) LGBTQ+ families, single parents, care experienced families, blended families and more!

My Qualifications

I don’t have any formal childcare qualifications, I rely on my experience. I have a basic DBS check and several references available. I have a basic understanding of First Aid but also willing to complete training if required.

My Availability

I’m limited with the scope of any school pick up/drop off work at this time.

My availability will vary depending on other personal commitments as well as if and when I find a full time graduate job. However, for now this is my full time job and main source of income.

I’m happy to meet you and your family for 1 hour for free, after that normal fees apply.

If I have to drive to your home I have a 2hr minimum to account for travel time.

An absolute superstar

5 stars

In a word - wonderful. Grace is an absolute superstar. We have two adopted boys under the age of ten and we were very anxious about leaving them with someone they didn’t know. Grace came round for an hour in her own time to meet them and get to know the boys. She was engaging, kind and supportive. Our boys absolutely adore her and look forward to her babysitting sessions. Not only that Grace is prompt in communication, always on time, very easy to get along with, and an excellent sitter. We couldn’t ask for more.

Thank you Calum, really appreciated :)

Wonderful

5 stars

Grace is a professional, kind, and experienced babysitter. She took the time to visit with us and our two girls (ages 5 and 7) first before we booked her for babysitting, which was much appreciated. We were immediately impressed with her many years of childcare experience and her warm, friendly demeanour. My daughters have wonderful things to say about Grace and feel very comfortable with her. Would recommend!

Thank you, that’s so kind of you :)

Reliable, trustworthy and GREAT!

5 stars

We've had Grace take care of our boys (6y and 3y) for 18 months now, on an occasional basis, during the afternoons and evenings. She's done evenings and some longer shifts when we went to a child-free wedding. She's coped with a potty training toddler, feeding, playing, bath and bed time and the kids gave a good report afterwards! She's also was an absolute star as at my "significant" birthday party- where she came to take care of the kids so I could relax with my friends, and other parents could also relax as well. I would highly recommend Grace, she's smart, kind, sensible, reliable and my kids like her a lot. I feel very comfortable leaving my children and pets in her care.

Fantastic

5 stars

We've used Grace a couple of times now and are so happy with her care of our two kids- currently 9 and 6. She's so kind and warm with them and they always report having loads of fun with her. Grace is always on time and prompt with communication as well. Since we don't have family nearby, we're so grateful for reliable and trustworthy childcare. Grace is a keeper!

Very professional, kind, imaginative, and caring

5 stars

I have employed Grace several times to look after my 8 year old daughter and she has always been incredibly warm, professional, and attentive. She is very good at playing with children and with making sure they are happy and taken care of. She is excellent in particular at imaginative play and always exercises empathy with children. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a childminder.
