Hi! I’m Tegan, an experienced, nurturing babysitter and a mom to a wonderful little girl. I understand firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your child in someone else’s care, and I always strive to create a warm, safe, and engaging environment for every child I look after. In addition to my hands on parenting experience, I also work in mental health support. This background has deepened my skills in emotional regulation, patience, and understanding children’s (and parents’) needs on a deeper level. It’s also taught me how to handle stressful situations calmly and compassionately skills that relate beautifully into childcare. If you’re looking for someone who brings both heart and professionalism to childcare, I’d love to connect with your family.

Hi, I’m Naisargi and I’m very interested in babysitting and nanny jobs. I have several years of childcare experience

Hello! My name is Naisargi Pathak, and I’m a warm, dependable, and experienced nanny with over 6 years of childcare experience. I’ve worked with children of all ages in both India and the UK. Most recently, I worked in Birmingham as a mum’s helper, supporting parents with daily routines, engaging play, and light household tasks.

I’ve also had the meaningful experience of caring for a child with special needs, which has deepened my understanding of individualized care, patience, and empathy. I always strive to create a safe, loving, and supportive environment where every child feels secure and valued.

Currently, I’m pursuing a Master’s in Public Health at Birmingham City University and hold a Bachelor’s degree in Physiotherapy. My medical background enhances my ability to ensure children’s health and safety, and I’m certified in CPR, first aid, and emergency care (DRABC).

I’m fluent in English, Hindi, Urdu, and Gujarati, allowing me to connect easily with families from diverse backgrounds.

Services I Offer:

  • Full-day or part-time childcare
  • Support for children with special needs
  • Assistance with feeding, bathing, and daily routines
  • Engaging children in educational and creative play
  • Light housekeeping and meal preparation for children
  • Homework help and school pick-up/drop-off
  • Multilingual communication and cultural understanding
  • First aid and emergency care readiness

I’m passionate about nurturing children’s growth and supporting families in any way I can.

I have love animals since I I was a child and would do anything to an animal healthy

There’s something special about the bond between humans and animals. Their love is pure, comforting, and unconditional. Whether it’s the wag of a dog’s tail or the purr of a cat, animals bring joy, peace, and a sense of purpose. Loving animals isn’t just a feeling—it’s a way of life.

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Pet Sitter

Follow these handy tips for hiring a pet sitter to ensure your furry family members are safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.

1. Check Experience

Ask how long they’ve been pet sitting and what types of pets they’ve cared for. Experience with your specific type or breed is a big plus.

2. Verify Credentials

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

3. Ask for References

Speak with past clients to confirm reliability, trustworthiness, and quality of care.

4. Meet in Person

Schedule a meet-and-greet to see how your pet reacts to the sitter and ensure a comfortable connection.

5. Discuss Duties Clearly

Define whether they’ll walk, feed, administer medication, groom, or provide other services. Be specific about expectations.

6. Check Availability

Ensure the sitter can meet your schedule, including holidays, weekends, or overnight needs.

7. Understand Rates & Payment

Clarify fees, overtime charges, and any additional costs (like travel, supplies, or emergency care).

8. Review Emergency Plans

Ask how they handle medical issues, accidents, or other emergencies, including access to your vet.

9. Communication Style

Confirm how often and in what form they’ll provide updates—texts, photos, or reports.

10. Start with a Trial

Consider a short test visit or day before leaving for an extended period to see how your pet responds and assess the sitter’s reliability.
