hey I’m Anouk! :)

I am 17 years old, and I am currently studying 3 A levels in year 12 at sixth form. I have 3+ years experience working with children, I have helped every other week in my church’s Sunday school working with ages ranging from pre-school to year 6. I have shown leadership skills and taught the children, whilst developing friendships with them too! I also help every year at a summer camp for primary school children where I help lead a group, conduct activities and care for the children. Recently, I completed a week of work experience at my primary school with a class of reception children who saw me as an authority figure but we also had fun together! I am also part of a mentoring scheme at school, which involves meeting with a year 7 girl every week to help and mentor her; giving her advice and supporting her. Overall, I love working with children and caring for them, so I would be a perfect role model and carer for your child! :)

Self-employed child carer

As a self-employed child carer with experience in nursery settings and personal familiarity with autism through my two younger brothers, I provide compassionate and tailored care to children. My responsibilities include creating a safe and stimulating environment, engaging children in educational activities, and ensuring their well-being at all times.

Requirements for my services include a background in childcare, either through formal education or hands-on experience, along with a deep understanding of autism and its implications for caregiving. Desired experience includes a track record of effective communication with both children and parents, as well as the ability to adapt activities to meet the unique needs of each child, particularly those with developmental differences like autism.

Through my personal and professional experiences, I bring a blend of empathy, patience, and expertise to ensure every child under my care thrives in a nurturing and supportive environment.

When to hire a babysitter

Every family is different and so are the requirements for hiring a babysitter. In this section, we explore the many factors that can influence when, and how often, you choose to hire a babysitter so you can have a better idea of what may be best for your family.

How to find a good babysitter

In this section, we run through a recommended babysitting interview format and provide tips and tricks that you can use to learn the most about your candidates. We also offer a huge list of good interview questions and how best to utilize them depending on your unique circumstances.

Babysitter pay

One of the most common questions parents have about babysitting is how much they should pay their sitter. In this section, we look at the many factors that influence babysitter pay including your geographic location, age and experience of the sitter, age and number of children, and specific job requirements.

How to vet babysitting candidates

Once you have a shortlist of the best babysitters you can find, the next step is to vet them further to make sure they are who they say they are and the skills and qualifications they claim to have are valid. Follow our guides on checking babysitter references and running background checks.
