Hi there, I saw that you are looking for a babysitter and I would be keen to help! I am currently in year 12 at school completing Math, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, English and Outdoor education (in which we are currently teaching year 9s). I am comfortable helping with homework and I also can help with cleaning and cooking (as I have also taken food technology). I also have some experience looking after younger kids, as I often babysit my younger sibling. I understand the importance of ensuring children are safe, happy, and entertained. I'm responsible, reliable, and can adapt to any routines you have in place for your kids. Additionally, I have a flexible schedule outside of school hours (except for gym), making it easy to accommodate your needs. I'd love the opportunity to help out and ensure your kids are well taken care of. Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Hi, I'm Buthmi and I'm turning 16 (may) this year! I'm a bright and cheerful person with a lovely personality, and I adore being around children. With younger siblings of my own, I've grown up learning the ins and outs of childcare.

As a result, I've become a reliable and respectful young person who is passionate about providing care for kids.
