This is for DD aged 16, can work around Aylesbury/Thame/Risborough areas.

She is available though the summer and up to 20 hours per week from September.

She has 4 younger brothers and sisters (ages 4 to 13) so has babysat for me and has references from people she has worked for/did work experience for.

Thought it best I set it out like this as it's for a teen, not an experienced mum!! Hope that's ok.

If anyone is interested please let me know
