Services You Need

Hello! 👋

My name is Frankie and I offer reliable and friendly support for families and pet owners in southwark. I provide a variety of services, including:

  • Pet care & dog walking 🐾 – I love spending time with animals and can take your furry friends for walks, feed them, and keep them happy while you’re away. Teen pet sitters in the UK typically earn around £6–£8 per hour, with higher rates possible for extra responsibilities or multiple pets.

  • Childcare – From after-school care to babysitting for short periods, I can help look after children responsibly and safely. Teen sitters usually charge £6–£10 per hour, depending on experience and the hours required.

  • Elderly assistance – I can help with basic tasks, companionship, and errands to make life a little easier for older adults. Hourly rates for young helpers often range from £6–£9 per hour.

  • Additional support – I’m happy to help with simple household tasks, pet feeding, or anything else you might need assistance with.

I’m dependable, enthusiastic, and committed to providing a caring, safe, and enjoyable experience for anyone I look after. Whether it’s walking your dog, babysitting your children, or supporting elderly family members, I’m here to help!

My name is Simone, and I am a 19-year-old college student currently studying Early Years Childcare. Alongside my studies, I have gained hands-on experience working in a nursery with children aged 0-5. In this role, I am responsible for ensuring the children's safety and well-being by carrying out tasks such as cleaning, changing nappies, and supporting their development across all seven areas of learning.I am particularly passionate about fostering a nurturing environment that encourages children's growth and learning. One of my favorite activities is baking, as it not only provides a fun and engaging experience for children but also teaches them valuable skills such as measurement, motor skills, and teamwork. Additionally, I enjoy cooking and reading, which I believe can also enhance children's creativity and cognitive development.I am currently seeking a job and would be grateful for the opportunity to contribute my skills, enthusiasm, and passion for early childhood education to your team. I am confident that my experience, along with my dedication to providing high-quality care, makes me a great fit for this role.

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Valentine's Day Babysitter

Follow these handy tips for hiring a Valentine's Day babysitter so you can enjoy a romantic evening while knowing your kids are in safe hands.

1. Book early

Valentine’s Day is a high-demand night for babysitters, so secure someone well in advance.

2. Expect holiday rates

Babysitters often charge extra for special occasions, so budget for a premium.

3. Choose someone trusted

Go with a sitter your kids already know, or someone with strong references if it’s their first time.

4. Confirm late-night availability

Make sure the sitter is comfortable staying until your return, even if it’s late.

5. Share bedtime routines

Provide clear instructions for dinner, storytime, and bedtime so the evening runs smoothly.

6. Leave fun activities

Stock up on games, crafts, or a movie to keep the kids entertained while you’re out.

7. Plan a simple dinner for kids

Prepare or order something easy the babysitter can serve without stress.

8. Leave emergency contacts

Give them your number, backup contacts, and any medical details they might need.

9. Set house rules

Be clear on snacks, screen time, and bedtime flexibility.

10. Show appreciation

Since they’re working on a date night, consider a bonus, chocolates, or a thank-you note.
