About Me
Hi!
We’re Amanda and Elliot, originally from the U.S. and have been living in London for the last three years. We love traveling, staying active, trying new foods, and experiencing different cultures.
We are looking for a reliable and experienced sitter to care for our daughter (born February 11, 2025) while we are in St. Andrews for a family wedding on 7 June, 2025. She will be 4 months old at the time of the event.
Both my husband and I are in the wedding party, so we’ll need someone we can trust to care for her throughout the day, with the most essential coverage being during the wedding ceremony and reception (12:00 PM – 2:00 AM). Ideally, we’d also have your support earlier in the day while we’re getting ready (timing to be confirmed).
Preliminary Itinerary & Expectations:
Before 12:00 PM – Getting Ready (timing TBD): Support us while we’re with the bridal party. This will involve feeding, diaper changes, and keeping her on schedule.
12:00 PM – Wedding Ceremony: She may attend the ceremony. Since we’ll be participating, you’ll act as her primary caregiver and a second set of hands.
1:00 – 5:00 PM – Wedding Party Photos: She’ll be included in some photos. You’ll support us with transitions and care between photos.
5:00 PM – 2:00 AM – Reception: She will not be attending the reception. During this time, we’ll rely on you to care for her independently at our hotel—feeding, bathtime, putting her to sleep, and maintaining her schedule. The reception is at the same hotel, so we’ll be nearby and reachable if anything urgent arises.
If you think you’d be a good fit, we’d love to connect!
