Activity summary
Weekend Babysitting
My name's Mary and I'm available for weekend baby sitting. As a new mum myself to a 11 month old, I understand the challenges faced by many parents both new and old and I am here to help.
I have extensive experience looking after children, young people and their families. I am a youth worker specialising in mental health and a trainer and assessor too!
In my spare time I enjoy photography, catching up with friends and family but more importantly spending time with my baby girl. Every moment with our children is precious.
I am a strong advocate for gentle parenting. Our little ones are exploring their new world and are learning every day! My core values are open and honest communication, respect and consent.
I understand the needs of every family is unique. I am eager to learn about your family!
