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.

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Special Needs Babysitter

Follow these handy tips for hiring a special needs babysitter so you can feel confident your child will be safe, supported, and happy.

1. Look for relevant experience

Choose babysitters who have worked with children with similar diagnoses, behaviors, or medical needs.

4. Request references

Speak to families of children with special needs they’ve cared for before.

Provide written instructions for meals, bedtime, medications, and calming strategies.

7. Communicate about triggers and supports

Share sensory sensitivities, behavioral strategies, and comfort items.

8. Confirm reliability

Ensure they can commit to consistent care and handle unexpected situations calmly.

Choose someone who shows genuine empathy, patience, and respect for your child’s individuality.
