To ask if you would hire me?

I’m looking to work as a babysitter over the next few months and have joined a childcare website but feeling a bit put off by the experience people are looking for.

I’m 19, happy to do regular or one off babysitting in the evenings and at weekends, school pick up/drop off, taking to activities, help with homework etc

I have experience babysitting but mainly for cousins and neighbours rather than in a professional childcare setting.

I have a car so can provide transport.

Would anyone be (hypothetically) happy to hire someone like me or would you always rather have a childcare professional?

Thanks

It makes a difference and even if you have experience as a childcare provider (sitter) for friends/family then I would also take that in consideration.

@arethereanyleftatall - I was trying to be encouraging and having had a quick check no one round here appear to do school pick up but not to an activity. I haven't looked at part-time nanny's but childminders though so maybe that's the distinction.

OP - you'd need to check if your insure covers you for business use most only regularly cover for back and forth to work. whether you'd need business use insurance.
