My Summary
About Me
Currently working for a family so can only do occasional babysitting!
Hello! :)
My name is Gloria, I'm 27 years old and currently living in Edinburgh.
I'm looking to help out a lovely family in need, full-time/part-time.
People often describe me as a warm and nurturing person with lots of creativity.
Amongst my babysitter & nanny experiences, I also recently worked in a private outdoor nursery which I absolutely loved. Working with children brings me so much joy and I can't imagine myself doing anything else! I love their curiosity, honesty, energy, seeing their facial expressions as they discover something new or when they're being silly. Helping them learn the world around them is such a rewarding job and I wouldn't trade it for anything.
I trust in the Froebelian approach. However, I understand not every family will have the same beliefs/views so it's important for me to respect and follow your family's way of living. Coming from a health and well-being background, I recognise the importance of physical activity and the benefits of spending time outdoors - for both children and adults. I spent my childhood exploring nature in every weather and I’m very grateful to my parents for allowing me to do so. Being outdoors is still my favourite way to enrich my life and it’s even better when I get to roam around with kids - we learn together, have fun and keep each other fit and healthy, it’s a win-win!
Some of my interests include weightlifting and cooking healthy meals. This means I can always make healthier options for your child (if you prefer!) which means it's one less thing for you to worry about. Baking is also an excellent activity for kids to join in on making tasty treats!
If your child is interested in art, I've also got plenty of creative ideas up my sleeve for them to enjoy. We could also grab our imaginary binoculars and take some time exploring outdoors e.g. parks/fun playgrounds.
I have an approved PVG and I'm also first aid qualified.
Looking for £16 per hour.

My Experience
I have worked in a private outdoor nursery with children aged 0-6 years and also cared for kids as a nanny and babysitter. I was a volunteer in a gymnastics centre for a month, spending time with kids from age 1 up to 12 years old. I have lived with my little sister for 4 years now and have cared and supported her through her first time living away from parents. From these experiences, some of my responsibilities included changing nappies, feeding, helping with homework, putting kids to bed, cooking, tidying, cleaning, outdoor activities and ensuring children's safety and wellbeing.
I have recently worked for an amazing family where I looked after a 1 year old girl. The family and I have become very close friends and I consider them my second family. Due to a job promotion, they moved to London but they still ask for me to babysit on rare occasions so we get to see each other!
As I decided not to move to London & only do rare occasional babysitting for the family there, I am currently working for another lovely family in Edinburgh. However, they have announced that they are on the move too haha! so I am looking for another family again!
P.S. If you would like to enroll your child in soft play or any other activity for children, I am more than happy to do this as I have been taking the kids to soft play classes on a regular basis.
I have an approved PVG and I'm also first aid qualified.
Please get in touch if you think I'd be the right match!
Hope you have an amazing day! :)
