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 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
