My Summary
I’ve Run A Few Code Clubs, And Want To Get More Child Care Experience Before I Look At Adoption.
About Me
I’d like to be a foster carer/parent, and would like some experience before taking on that responsibility.
My Experience
I’m fairly new child care, but have been running several Code Clubs for 8 to 12 year olds (and a few bring their younger siblings); I have a niece who I take out for day trips (trampoline, LegoLand, etc); and a friend who has a 2 year old daughter.
My Qualifications
None yet - but I am currently working on becoming a registered childminder (via the Ofsted recognised "Introductory Training Course" by ChildmindingUK), and I will be renewing my First Aid qualification (i.e. via an officially recognised provider).
My Availability
I’m a freelance programmer who can choose my own working hours, which can sometimes be overnight (avoiding distractions); and I go to Code Clubs on Wed/Thur night.

My Fees
- Babysitting from £9.00 per hour
This seems to be the lowest rate I can set, even though UK Apprenticeship rate is £7.55. While I’ve looked after children before, they were mostly family members, so I’m technically new to child care, and mostly here for experience; but I don’t want to undercut people who do this for their job.
My Local Schools
- I provide drop offs and pick ups at Lyde Green Primary School
- I provide drop offs and pick ups at Mangotsfield Church of England Primary School
