High Wycombe, England

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.

I have a multitude of experiences with children as I myself am the eldest of my family and have four other siblings which I have had the opportunity to take care of whenever my parents needed a hand this act fostered many skills within me such as learning how to deal with children accordingly in an effective manner as well as reliving my childhood in a way by living my childhood joys through them such as drawing painting and playing games, something I loved to do. Therefore living in this type of environment allowed me to flourish in the babysitting/caretaking world. I am 17 and currently enrolled in a college due to start September and have some free time which I would love to dedicate to little ones or anyone I’m open to all ages.

Why hire a babysitter

In this section we look at what services babysitters typically provide, how they're different to other carers, and the many benefits your family can enjoy when hiring a babysitter.

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

Often the biggest challenge with hiring a babysitter is finding good candidates, to begin with. In this section, we reveal many secrets that you can use to attract the best local babysitters, we also explore alternatives to hiring babysitters that you may not have considered.

What makes a good babysitter

Finding a good babysitter is not an easy task, in this section, we highlight various qualities to look out for while you're gathering candidates for your open position. We also cover less commonly considered candidates such as male babysitters and answer commonly asked questions that parents have about them.

Babysitter interview tips

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.
