Over the past few years, from time to time I did unpaid voluntary babysitting with familiar members of my community and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience, Other than that here are a few other notable things I’ve done over the past years:
Over the summer, I had the absolute pleasure working for MLA as a residential activity leader.
During my role as an activity leader at MLA,A boarding summer school I thoroughly enjoyed the responsibility of
consistently leading and supporting other coworkers or group leaders. I was frequently required to take initiative, provide guidance, and act as a reliable role model for the kids ( aged 4-18 ), these which I wholly believe strengthened my leadership, communication, and organizational skills.
During my time in Year 12, I was able to dedicate my time to working with the prep school students at my college where I
would spend my time eating lunch with them, helping with their homework and simply converse with them.
While I was in sixth form, I also had the wonderful opportunity to be a Literacy Mentor/Buddy for Year 7 students. This meant I was teamed up with younger students who were finding secondary school a bit tricky. We worked together in weekly sessions to help them improve their reading skills and build their confidence. It was a fantastic way to support their literacy and provide some much-needed mentorship.
I also spent my sixth form years tutoring Year 7 to Year 12 students at boarding schools. I was there to help them with their homework and prepare for exams, giving them my full attention to ensure they got the best results possible .
Hi, my name is Anna Tall. I’m 18, and I’m looking to offer babysitting in the Plymouth area. I’ve always enjoyed looking after children and have plenty of experience: I helped care for my younger brother, regularly looked after my younger cousins, and have been volunteering at a primary school every Friday since last September. I did this in lower sixth, and decided to continue this year as I enjoyed it so much! It's a lot of fun getting to know each child individually and forming unique relationships with each one.
Also, I have first aid training as part of my DofE, with a certificate.
Lastly, I have experience with pets — I’ve had a cat since I was seven, had various guinea pigs, and looked after my aunt’s dog for a year, walking her twice daily.
I'm happy to provide written documentation of my qualifications and credentials:
2 years experience working with children
CPR training
First aid training

When I was 15 and 16, I did some babysitting. After secondary school, I worked at a nursery for three and a half years. For my education, I attended an international school in Spain, where I did MYP, equivalent to GCSEs.
I took a Pediatric First Aid course on November 1st, 2024. I have taken this before, but you need to retake it every three years. This training equips me with essential skills for handling emergencies involving infants and children, including first aid techniques and how to respond in critical situations.
I’m a reliable, caring, and responsible babysitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with children and helping them feel safe, happy, and engaged. I understand how important it is for parents to trust the person looking after their kids, and I always aim to create a fun, supportive, and secure environment.
Whether it’s helping with homework, organising creative activities, or sticking to routines like meals and bedtime, I’m attentive to each child’s needs and personality. I’m patient, calm under pressure, and always prioritise safety while making sure your children are having a great time.
If you’re looking for someone dependable who will treat your children with kindness and respect, I’d love the opportunity to help!

I have completed a course in the EYFS and I have lots of experience caring for and working with children. I currently babysit for 3 families, with children aged 14 months, 2 years, and brothers aged 5 and 7. I am able to provide general care and play time, change nappies, feed, bath (if asked), and put to bed. I also have experience with severe additional needs as the 7 year old I care for is severely autistic and nonverbal. I regularly stay overnight to take care of the 2 brothers so would be willing to talk about this if it’s needed for your family.
