Caring, Responsible, and Trustworthy — Babysitting, Pet and Home Care
Hi, I’m Cara! I’m a qualified Nursery Nurse with experience supporting children in both 1:1 and group settings, and I’m also experienced in caring for pets, including dog walking and pet sitting.

I’m DBS-checked, trained in first aid, safeguarding, and child development, and I’m registered as self-employed, so you can trust me to provide reliable and professional care. I’m friendly, responsible, and genuinely enjoy making a positive difference in every child or animal’s day!

I am currently doing my A levels in Health and Social Care, Sociology and Media studies. I am hoping to become a Social Worker for children.
I have work experience working with children aged 11 to 16 in schools, helping with children with special needs and troubled family lives. I also have work experience at Ashton Vale youth centre working with children aged 5 to 12, this has been an amazing experience as I see all aspects of how children interact with certain experiences and therefore have learnt different methods to help children cope.
I also often babysit for my nephew who is now a small child. I learnt how to handle young babies through babysitting him and this is also how I have gained more experience with children who have special educational needs.
I have had a dog for the past 3 years and have grown up around dogs. I walk my dog daily and have experience with hectic and hyper dogs (my dog).
