Description

(You are seeing my babysitter ad for London/M25/South. If you are in the North, please see my Yorkshire/North childminder ad for Leeds/Hull/Doncaster, Nottingham/Leicester, Manchester/Liverpool/Blackburn, Middlesbrough/Durham etc.)

Hello, I am Chloe. You can contact me if you need an 'emergency' or 'one-off cover' babysitter (as a temp nanny or au pair), or a pet-house sitter, for your children, pets or home, or if you need a full or part-time cover on an 'ongoing, occasional, ad hoc' basis, either short, medium or long-term (from a few days/weeks a few months or a year+), within ca. 130-mile radius from my location.

In fact, anywhere in the UK and abroad can be possible, as I am a mobile temp babysitter.

Please see the point 8 below as examples of what you may be in need of that I could provide my services for.

*******************************************
1) ABOUT MY SERVICES

I am already a working professional running my own business, so a temporary or emergency cover such as an evening, a weekend, a few hours/days/nights or a week, a fortnight or a month or two is mainly what I offer, either at a short notice or arranged more in advance. Also, a 'little long temporary' cover for some weeks or 2, 3 or 4 months or more (full or part-time) could be arranged. I could also consider long-term placements (6 months, a year+ etc.)

For your ca. 3-day/1-week + childminding needs or for your trips abroad, any UK location can be OK, since I am a mobile temp nanny/au pair babysitter. (Accommodation/travel costs apply if far from my location.)

As a self-employed professional, I have a carer/babysitter insurance, DBS and full driving licence with my own cars. (I've a car in London and a car in Yorkshire.)

8) EXAMPLES OF YOU NEEDING ME AS YOUR TEMPORARY, EMERGENCY OR AD HOC COVER BABYSITTER, PET/HOUSE SITTER

Here are examples of what you may be in need of that I could do for you:

A) You already have a nanny or your parents look after your kids when you're at work, but they are ill and can't do tomorrow/next week, so you need a last-minute, temp babysitter for a few nights to come to your home to be with your child all day at your home (if baby/toddler), or take your children to school, pick them up from school to come home and be with them until you come home in the evening.

B) You booked a holiday abroad for you, your children and your nanny/au pair, but your babysitter suddenly had to fly away (due to family in hospital etc.), or your usual babysitter is on a 2-week annual leave agreed in advance, and you now have to take your children abroad for something urgent (family emergency etc.) at a short notice, either for a few nights/few weeks or even a month or more, leaving you needing an emergency nanny/au pair to travel with your family to another country.

(Yes, I could be away that long, for a few weeks or even a month or two.)

C) You usually stay home, but just tomorrow night, or for a few days this/next week, you have to be out the whole morning or from 6pm till after midnight (because of a job interview, a date, a concert/event, an important meeting, a family/friends do etc.), so you need a one-off babysitter to be there for your children.

D) You have a baby and a 3-year old (or an 8-year old and a 13-year old etc.), and you suddenly have to travel one-off to Scotland for a weekend, or you have to fly out of the UK on business unexpectedly for a week, so you need someone to be home 24 hours a day as an emergency au pair (to sleep over somewhere at your home that you can provide/arrange) for a few nights to look after your children while you are away, or (if early to mid-teenagers) an emergency nanny staying overnight from each afternoon until breakfast time for a few nights with daily visits, staying over at your home during night time.

E) You usually always work from home and manage childcare yourself, but you've been told by your employer that starting next week or next month, you could have to be out on sites for the whole morning or afternoon once or twice a week, or you could have to be sent abroad for a couple of nights for client meetings once or twice a month, so you now need to find a babysitter or pet sitter on an on-going yet occasional, ad-hoc basis.

F) Something else. You can contact me and tell me about your situation needing an emergency or temp childminder or a mobile babysitter or pet/house sitter.
