I have always felt drawn to working with children and find it rewarding to support their learning, development, and wellbeing. Looking after younger family members at family events has given me valuable experience interacting with children of different ages. These experiences have strengthened my interest in childcare and inspired me to pursue a career working with children, where I can make a positive difference in their lives.

I am a responsible and caring babysitter who has successfully completed a babysitting course, equipping me with essential childcare and safety skills. As a current midwifery student, I have developed a strong understanding of child development, health, and wellbeing. I genuinely love working with children and am passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for them. I always prioritise each child’s needs and best interests, ensuring they feel valued, supported, and cared for at all times.
Hi, I am Katy! I am 25 years old and a happy and social person. I have wanted to work with children for many years and was previously part of a Brownie troupe that helped me learn more about children. As a child I went to a child minder and spent lots of time around other children, this is when I realised I enjoyed interacting with younger children. As a teen I babysat local children while I was doing my GCSEs, one of which was in child development.
My passions are cooking/baking and outdoor sports, both of which I would be able to teach and encourage within your children. I am a very organised person who loves halloween and christmas, I would be able to plan themed activities for your children.
I have 2 cats, which I have had for 2 years, they are a brother and sister who are just over 2, called Tinkerbell and Toothless.

I have completed a masters of science in food consumer marketing and product development and a bsc in Food Marketing Management. I am looking to expand my career possibilities as I love working with kids, but was encouraged to follow my passion for food. I volunteered with children at a brownies troupe for over a year and massively enjoyed this, I would have continued if it was not due to a house move, due to this I have had a DBS check, however it will be specific to the brownie organisation. Like many people, as a teenager I was a baby sitter for local children, this was supported by my GCSE in Child development. I have an interest in food so would always be available to cook with your children and teach them whatever they would like to know. I am a very organised person so your home would be kept neat and tidy.
