Hello, I'm a 16-year-old going to college on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. I have completed a Level 2 qualification in childcare. I can cook and clean, but most importantly, I can look after your children safely and caringly.
Hi! I'm Nephilim, it's nice to meet you! I am new to babysitting and pet sitting but I am passionate about childcare and animal care! I am here to serve you and all your needs! If you need a dog walker or a pet sitter for your animals I would love to help! Do you need someone to look after your little one! I would put all my theatrical training to good use and keep their little minds busy. With clear instructions and communication, I can give the very best care.
I’m the eldest in the family, I babysat my cousins, friend’s siblings, neighbours children under supervision of adults since I was little. I started babysitting on my own at the age of 12. Lately, I have been babysitting a 6 month old and 3 year old cousin(s). Also, I used to support and tutor students in school. I’m dedicated college student and a tenacious individual with a strong work ethic, seeking opportunities to be innovative through a babysitting job by engaging them in creative and educational activities. In my babysitting experiences, everyone has enjoyed my art and crafts and educational activities as I’ve always been into art, photography, reading, etc. I study A-Level Graphic Communication, Photography, and English Literature in Winchester. I am enthusiastic with a passion for helping others and building positive relationships. Moreover, I cope extremely well under pressure and always aspire to do everything to the best of my ability. You can contact me if you have any questions regarding my experience with children or my availability. However, I’m available during the evenings and the weekends.
