About Me

Hello,

My name is Katie Bath-Barranco; I am thirty years old. I have a significant amount of experience caring for children of all ages. I am an Auntie to eleven nieces and nephews, I have gained a great deal of hands on experience from caring for each of them from a young age. I also have four daughters of my own, aged 9, 8, 7 and 4. I live with my husband and children in the beautiful village of Lingwood.

I am available for babysitting and ad hoc care immediately.

At the age of seventeen I started the Level 3 Diploma course in Childcare and Education. Over the period of the two year course I had placements in two primary schools and three day nurseries. I greatly enjoyed my time on each placement, gathering a wealth of knowledge and understanding I believe you can’t achieve without having had the hands on contact with children and the specific teaching.

Whilst at college I was a Nanny for twin boys, from the age of ten weeks old. In September 2012 went on to study the Social Work (Ba course at Brunel University). I passed all modules and my placement in a local authority setting for adults with enduring mental health illnesses and achieved a certificate of higher education.

I am now focusing on a career in childcare, this is where my passion in life lies.

Qualifications and Certificates I hold:

- CACHE level three Diploma in Childcare and Education

- NCFE level three cookery

- A certificate of higher education in Social Work.

- An enhanced DBS check

- Paediatric first aid certificate

I have a UK full driving licence and own a car.

If you would like to speak with me in more detail and discuss childcare options please get in touch. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you for your time.

Katie babysat regularly for my two boys; at the time from the ages of 6mths and 2years old. She was punctual, highly experienced and always very professional and friendly with us as parents and super with the boys. We used Katie regularly to babysit and she was truly fantastic. As a previous employer and teacher I wrote Katie a reference for a nursery assistant at our local state nursery; she got the job of course!
I would definitely recommend Katie to babysit; she’s a real gem!

Katie looked after my 8 month old son whilst we attended a wedding. I initially planned for Katie to look after him at the venue but on arrival, we discovered there wasn’t really anywhere appropriate for her to be with him!
I felt comfortable letting Katie take him even though I had only met her moments before! She reassured me and told me her plan to take him to a nearby cafe with a play area and animals. She then sent me photos to ease my nerves! She came back for me to feed him and then walked round with him in the rain enabling him to have a well needed nap!
Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Thanks Katie x
