Hi, I’m Mary 👋
I’m a passionate, dedicated and nurturing babysitter with **10+ years of experience caring for and supporting children of different ages, personalities and needs**.
My approach to childcare is warm, respectful and holistic. I believe children learn best through **real-life experiences, play, exploration and trial and error**. I also believe every child deserves to have a voice, to feel heard and understood, and to be supported with patient guidance rather than simply being told what to do.
I love creating an environment where children feel **safe, secure, valued and confident to be themselves**. I take the time to listen, build genuine connections and follow each child’s individual interests, strengths and needs.
My babysitting experience and skills include:
* Caring for babies, toddlers and older children
* Preparing meals and snacks
* Supporting sleep and bedtime routines
* Nappy changing and toileting
* Age-appropriate play and learning experiences
* Arts, crafts, sensory and imaginative play
* Outdoor activities and adventures
* Supporting emotional regulation and positive behaviour
* Maintaining routines while also being flexible to each child’s needs
* Creating safe, engaging and nurturing environments
* Communicating openly and respectfully with parents and caregivers
* Encouraging independence, confidence, choice and problem-solving
* Providing calm reassurance when children are upset, anxious or unsettled
For me, babysitting is much more than simply supervising children. It is about **building trust, creating meaningful experiences, encouraging curiosity and helping children feel safe enough to learn, explore and grow
I understand how important it is for parents to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for their children, and I pride myself on being **reliable, attentive, caring, professional and genuinely passionate about working with children**.
I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide your little ones with safe, nurturing and engaging care. 🌻
