My Summary
About Me
I am a hardworking, caring and patient individual, with over 10 years experience looking after children. I'm looking for ad-hoc evening babysitting work and am open to meeting new families if you are looking for this.
I’m a freelance voiceover artist and admin assistant during the day. My strengths lie in creativity, I enjoy doing arts and crafts/games/baking/dancing and singing with children.
My Experience
I have many years of nannying experience for children ages 1-14. I worked in a nursery for a few years, caring for children aged 6 months-5 years.
I am used to helping with homework, bath time, dinner, playing and getting children ready for bed.
The two best qualities a nanny can have are patience and adaptability when working with kids, skills I have developed over my years of nannying. Working with children is incredibly enjoyable, because they have a sense of magic and play that I think we start to lose as adults.
I can drive but would prefer not to drive children.
I am happy to look after up to two children.
My Qualifications
I have a dance degree from the University of Surrey.
My Availability
I am available for evening babysitting from 6pm Mon/Tues and 6.15pm Thurs/Fri (except Wednesdays during term time as I sing in a choir) and the occasional Sat/Sun evening.

Thanks Georgia, you are a lovely family to work for.
Sophie has been looking after our son (aged 3.5 now) on ad-hoc basis for over a year now. She managed to establish a great relationship from first day and we never had trouble leaving him with Sophie.
Sophie is not just an amazing babysitter with very creative and arts background but also very responsable, trustworthy and caring. She never turned up late or cancelled any planned appointments ever.

Thanks Augusta for your kind words, it is a joy to work for you.
We highly recommend Sophie! Sophie has been babysitting our 2 year old daughter Eloise on an adhoc basis for over a year and we could not be happier. Eloise adores Sophie and loves the care and attention she receives. Sophie has helped with nursery pick ups, dinner times, bathing, and playtime, while also taking care of our two dogs. Sophie is punctual, reliable, and gives us complete piece of mind when we are out and about. Thank you so much Sophie!!!

Thanks Michael, you are such a great family to work for :).
Sophie has been providing ad hoc babysitting including school pick ups, dinner times and bedtimes for my children aged 5 and 3 over the last year. She communicates brilliantly with children, is playful, creative and attentive. Her contact with me is punctual and clear, we are absolutely delighted we found her!

Thanks Emily, it is so great to work for you and your lovely boys.
Sophie is looking after our little boy on occasional basis. She does school pick up, and she is brilliant with little one. Feeds him, does homeworks and she goes above and beyond whats her duties while she sits for us. I'm very glad I was able to find her.
