Are you looking for an honest, reliable babysitter?

I have more than 13 years experience of working with children from newborns to secondary school age children.

I have excellent refs, a full driving licence, first aid and enhanced CRB check.

I am 31 and a non smoker. I currently work in a main stream primary school supporting children with special educational needs.

I charge a minimum of 3 hours @ £8 per hour (or part hour) before midnight and £10 per hour (or part hour) after midnight

I am based in St Albans.

£8 an hour?!
blimey i need to put my rates up!!!

shinypeople I was getting interested until i read your rates, sorry! It would have to be for a very special occasion that I would shell out that sort of money, not the odd night at the cinema or out for a meal. But there are probably plenty of people in your area who can and would pay that sort of rate. How about going through the Sitters agency?

you only get £5 an hour with sitters

Not right now but maybe in the autumn when the teenager we use goes off to uni....

Sitters might be £5 an hour to the sitter, but the parent has to pasy a quarterley fee and a £4 fee every time they book a sitter, so the true cost to the parent is more than £5 an hour.

I loked at buying a sitters franchise, so registered with them to see how professional they were and hat checks they make.
