Hi, my name is Josie and I’m 17 years old. I am based in the Harrowgate Farm area of Darlington and have been working with children for about a year now which I love! I have a job at a place called Diddikicks (which is working with children from 18months to 5 years old) so, I therefore have a DBS check which is on the update service and first aid training. I really would love to have a job working with children when I’m older and after my work experience in a primary school I just know I want to be a teacher! I’m a really family-orientated person and have looked after family friend’s children in the past. I have many hobbies including going to the gym and playing netball for my college. I also love to read books 📚 I am a good communicator, hard working and conscientious!

My background caring for infants, toddlers, and youth started when I worked as a Nursery Practicioner during my work experience in secondary school.
During my time in University, I studied Child Development in Psychology and upgraded to working with private families during the weekends and in the evenings. During this time, I gained experience caring for newborn babies, toddlers and older children. Activities during this time included; School Pickups & Drop Offs, Potty Training, Reading, Music & Art, Nappy Changing, Sleep Training and SEN Experience (Autism). I have also been learning British Sign Language to aid with Special Needs Children.
Ever since my graduation, I’ve worked with the Nanny Agency; UNA Nannies, which covers events such as wedding childcare and holiday childcare. I’ve been working in childcare for the last 3 years.
As a babysitter, I help kids, children in home works . Engage them in games, music, crafts and arts that they love. Make them feel very comfortable and special. As well as assist in their personal care.

From my prior experience as a babysitter, a support worker and a parent. I developed the zeal of caring and supporting children, adolescents, and adults as well as children with disabilities. I maintain professionalism, empathy and integrity in my job. I am a friendly, caring and responsible young lady.
I'm Natalia, 17 years old and currently on a gap year before heading into a career in forensic psychology. I’m using this time to work, gain experience, and do more of what I love—caring for children and pets!
I’ve been around kids most of my life, starting with helping family and friends by watching their little ones (even when I was still a kid myself!). As I got older, I took on more responsibility, including long-term babysitting. I’m attentive, quick-thinking in crucial moments, and always focused on making sure children feel safe, supported, and happy.
As for pets—I’ve grown up surrounded by them! Dogs, cats, rabbits—you name it. I’ve developed a deep love for animals and know how to care for them with patience and understanding.
If you're looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring for your kids or pets, I’d love to help out!
