Hi! My name is Deanna and I am 16 years old and taking A-levels in politics, history and criminology. I have a pet of my own, a 5 year old yellow lab called Oakley who I adore. I also have two younger sisters aged 7 and 13 and I have had many occasions of taking care of them. My mum worked in childcare for many years and opened a nursery in our home for 12 years so I have lots of experience with children and I know how to entertain them when they get bored (they almost always do get bored, or hungry!) I enjoy teaching if your child needs help with homework or reading stories as one day I hope to become a history teacher! I am available to do late evenings and even nights if needed (so you can have some you time!!) I would be more than happy to send updated throughout my stay weather it’s of your human children or your fluffy ones. I am able to look after all sizes of dogs however if it is a big dog (for walks) I do ask they are trained or listened when called (in strong but not that strong!) but I love gentle giants. I will be more than happy to come for a trial to ensure I am the right fit for your family!
I'm looking for Casual/temporary, Part-time employment.
I can travel to neighboring suburbs/towns of Bridgwater for work.

Health and social care L2D.
I have worked at one of the UKs most well known dog hotels (the country dog hotel) for work experience where I gained knowledge and skills.
I have completed allergen and intolerance training so I can accommodate dietary needs.
I passed all my GCSEs with my lowest grade being a 5 in English literature.
I have a 5 year old yellow lab.
I grew up in a childcare environment as my mum was self employed as a childminder so I have experience with children.
My name’s Balqees, and I’m a mum of two with plenty of experience caring for little ones. I currently work as a Healthcare Assistant, so you can rest assured your child will be in safe, caring hands.
I offer babysitting services from my home, which is fully child-friendly, my house set up with lots of toys, activities, and space for kids to play. I also have a lovely garden where children can enjoy some fresh air and outdoor fun.
Whether you need a few hours of childcare, an evening out, or regular help, I’d love to chat and see how I can support your family.
Please feel free to message me with any questions or to arrange a visit 😊
