I have been babysitting for the last eight years. I have experience with two special needs children from different families (developmental disabilities and genetic mutation-related disabilities) and children under the age of 12 months as well as children up to the age of thirteen.

On my gap year I was a nanny for six months for one of the families mentioned above, who had a special needs child – I really enjoyed my time there and still babysit when I am not at university. I was very proud to be the first nanny they allowed to care for the children overnight.

I am confident changing nappies and getting children ready for bed, including bath time and brushing teeth, as well as helping feed the children at dinner. I have experience safely driving the children to and from school and helping with homework.

While I don’t have formal nannying qualifications, I am experienced with long days (12 hours+) and I have eight GCSE’s as well as three A-levels including: History, Drama and Business, in which I achieved three As. I am currently in my final year studying for a degree in business and entrepreneurship at the University of Southampton.

I am currently boarding at Peter Symonds College, and hoping to work whenever available. I am currently working on my A Levels, and I achieved an average of a grade 7 at GCSE. I would consider myself a very creative person, and I am eager to apply this skill working with children and keeping them occupied. I have previous experience looking after children in my neighbourhood, and for over 2 years I walked an elderly neighbour's dog daily, along with feeding and grooming various other pets and occasionally dogsat for extended periods of time.

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Pet Daycare Provider

Follow these handy tips for hiring a private pet daycare provider so your furry friend gets the best care while you’re away.

1. Check Experience with Your Pet Type

Ask about their background caring for dogs, cats, or other pets. Make sure they understand breed-specific needs, temperaments, and behaviors.

2. Verify Training & Certifications

Look for pet CPR/first aid certification, animal handling training, or professional memberships in pet care associations.

3. Tour the Facility or Home

Visit the daycare space to check for cleanliness, safety measures, secure fencing, and pet-friendly areas.

4. Ask About Daily Routine

Find out what a typical day looks like—exercise, playtime, feeding, rest, and socialization opportunities.

5. Understand Supervision Levels

Confirm how many pets they care for at once and whether constant supervision is provided, especially during group play.

6. Review Health & Safety Policies

Ask about vaccination requirements, flea/tick prevention, emergency plans, and how illnesses or injuries are handled.

7. Check References & Reviews

Speak with past or current clients, and ask for customer reviews to ensure reliability and positive experiences.

8. Clarify Communication

Ask how they’ll keep you updated—daily texts, photos, or reports—so you know your pet is happy and safe.

9. Discuss Rates & Inclusions

Make sure you understand the cost, what’s included (walks, grooming, food), and if there are extra fees for late pickup or special care.

10. Do a Trial Day

Start with a short daycare session to see how your pet adjusts, and gauge the provider’s attentiveness and professionalism.
