How can I help? 😊

Hi! My name is Beth, I am 17 and looking for work outside of my school hours. I have experience with children- I have a younger cousin I babysit for and I also volunteer at my school in a P1 class every week, so I’m used to working with children and really enjoy it. I also work hard at school and get good grades, so I’m able to help children with homework. I’m also happy to look after pets and walk dogs. I have a dog of my own (Hungarian vizsla) who I adore and take on lots of walks. She gets nervous around other dogs and is scared of loud bangs, but I’ve learnt to calm her down and keep her under control. I keep her out of stressful situations as much as possible, so I can look after any nervous dogs too. She also had a litter two years ago so I have experience with puppies and pregnant dogs! I finish school 3:35pm Monday-Thursday and 1pm on Friday, so I’m available to help after these times (would have to also take into account the time to travel to your location, I stay in G13). I’m happy to stay after 12am on Fridays and Saturdays too.

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Wedding Babysitter

Follow these handy tips for hiring a wedding babysitter to make sure the little guests are happy and the adults can celebrate stress-free.

1. Hire early

Secure babysitters well in advance, as weddings often fall on busy weekends.

2. Check experience

Choose sitters with proven childcare experience, ideally with multiple children and event settings.

3. Run background checks

Verify references, qualifications, and certifications (like CPR and first aid). See our guides for more information:

4. Ask about ratios

Make sure there are enough sitters for the number and ages of children attending. You may need to hire multiple wedding babysitters.

5. Clarify duties

Define whether babysitters are supervising during the ceremony, reception, or in a separate childcare room.

6. Provide entertainment

Ensure babysitters bring or can organize age-appropriate games, crafts, and activities.

7. Discuss meals

Plan ahead for kid-friendly food and snacks that babysitters can easily serve.

8. Set boundaries

Decide on locations where kids will stay (kids’ corner, separate room, outdoor space) and communicate rules.

9. Plan for bedtime

If the reception runs late, arrange a quiet area or sleeping setup for younger children.

10. Keep parents informed

Make sure babysitters have contact numbers and a system for reaching parents quickly if needed.
