Hi! I'm Chloe!

Hi, I’m Chloe! I’m currently studying Music Performance at university while also coaching children’s gymnastics in Ipswich. I have a real passion for working with children of all abilities, including those with special educational needs (SEN). My youngest cousin has special needs, and caring for him has given me valuable experience and empathy that I bring into my work with children at the gym.

Alongside coaching, I love being a musician and sharing that joy with others. One of my favourite experiences was leading a music workshop for preschool children — seeing their faces light up while making music together was unforgettable. Whether I’m teaching, coaching, or performing, I always strive to create a fun, supportive, and inspiring environment.

Hi!

-17 -No criminal record and am happy to get a DBS check to show you if you would like -Can provide ID -Can provide references and proof of qualifications -Affordable and flexible with availability and rate -Happy to do video calls before starting

I am a friendly, responsible, and kind. I am good at staying calm even when I’m stressed. My hobbies are mostly fitness (especially martial arts and kickboxing), horse riding, art, and motorbiking.

Experience and Qualifications

I have various experiences and formal training that make me suitable for looking after children

Looking after my younger brother

Growing up as the eldest sibling, I’ve always been caring for and looking after my younger brother, who is 3/4 years younger. Ive helped and still help with homework, cooking, cleaning, looking after and looking out for him in general.

Babysitting and Tutoring

I’ve looked after my friends younger siblings too, playing with them and keeping them safe. I also worked as a tutor/homework helper for a younger girl, helping with multiple subjects and teaching touch typing.

Care

My first job involved assisting an elderly lady with daily tasks like cooking and cleaning, developing my patience and caring skills.

Housekeeping and Cleaning

i’ve completed professional housekeeping training, learning how to maintain spaces to a high standard—useful for keeping a safe and clean environment for children.

Leadership and Childcare Training:

I attended a two-week residential training program focused on training for looking after young children. I gained training in child safety, first aid, safeguarding, how to interact positively and conflict resolution.

STEM Holiday Program Tutor

I was selected to teach STEM to primary school children during the holidays at a private school. Though the program didn’t run due to low enrolment, I received all the training for working with children and received certifications in emergency first aid, safeguarding, COSHH awareness, food safety and engaging interactions with children.

Im very flexible with availability and pay. If you need a long full day of childcare, I’m happy to work for as low as £6.40 p/h if moneys an issue and for other hours Im very reasonable, just depends on what you would like me do/help out with and the amount of responsibility for the day.

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Vacation Babysitter

Follow these handy tips when hiring a vacation babysitter so everyone can get the most out of your family holiday.

1. Start your search early

Traveling babysitters are in high demand, so begin looking several months before your trip.

2. Choose someone with travel experience

Ask if they’ve traveled with families before and are comfortable with airports, hotels, and long days.

3. Check passports and paperwork

Ensure the babysitter has a valid passport, visas (if needed), and is comfortable with any travel requirements.

4. Discuss schedules and expectations

Be clear about when you’ll need childcare versus family time, so boundaries are understood.

5. Cover all expenses upfront

Agree on who pays for flights, accommodations, meals, and any extras before the trip.

6. Set pay rates clearly

Holiday babysitting often involves long hours; discuss a fair daily or weekly rate plus overtime if needed.

7. Review responsibilities

Clarify whether the sitter will supervise only in the hotel/villa or accompany your children on excursions.

8. Do a trial run at home

Have the sitter spend time with your kids before the trip to build trust and routine familiarity.

9. Check adaptability

Make sure they’re flexible with changes, new environments, and possible travel hiccups.

10. Trust and comfort are key

Since you’ll be spending extended time together, choose someone you not only trust with your children but also feel comfortable traveling with.
