Kayleigh is a caring, thoughtful and beautiful person inside and out. She is punctual and professional while looking after our 2 boys age 9 and 11. The fact that my children are autistic doesn't make the slightest difference to her, she asks questions about what they like and don't like and listens to our children's special needs without judgement or question. Because Kayleigh follows our advice our boys absolutely love it when we tell them we are going out saying "does this mean Kayleigh is coming round?" We are more than happy to recommend Kayleigh to look after children, we trust Kayleigh completely and she does a fantastic job, enabling us to enjoy our trip out with complete confidence that our home and our children are being very well looked after. Ps our dog loves Kayleigh almost as much as the boys do."

Nanny/ baby sitter
| I am 20 years old and have been driving for 3 years now and own my own car. I believe I am confident, bubbly and compassionate, with a heart for children. From a very early age, I have always known that I wanted a carer in childcare and since finishing college in 2018, and gained the experience, I feel that nannying is the path I would like to take. I am one of four siblings and both my mum and older sister have careers within childcare. I am creative and patient and can form bonds easily with all ages. I’ve worked with a family for over a year; both live out and live in nanny. I am looking for another full time nanny job starting in March.

My first childcare job involved caring for two little girls aged 2 and 4 years old and their two week old baby brother during the afternoon and occasionally overnight in their family home. I looked after the little ones for two years and always felt like part of the family, so I was very sad when they moved to Australia. In addition to this, I worked two weeks as a volunteer in a primary school for underprivileged children in Bolivia and two weeks unpaid work experience at a playgroup in Winchester. I am also the oldest sibling in a family of 8 children and I am often responsible for driving them to and from school and preparing their meals. I would love to work for a nice family as a nanny as well as a housekeeper.

FAQs for finding childcare in Southampton

How much does it cost in 2024 to hire a childcare provider in Southampton?

Hiring someone on Care.com to provide childcare services will cost an average of £11.49 per hour as of May 2024. This rate may vary depending on the experience each childcare provider has, how many kids you will need them to watch, the age of your children, and whether you need part-time or full-time childcare.

How can I find childcare help near me?

Care.com currently has 3,370 childcare providers Southampton. You can search for childcarers by their distance from Southampton and by hourly pay rate. Then you can compare their experience, specific services they offer and what age groups of kids they specialise in caring for. You can also read reviews from other families in Southampton that have worked with the childcarers you're interested in.

What interview questions should I ask a childcare provider?

You want to find a childcare provider that will get along with your kids, but also follows many of the same parenting ideas you have. Structure your questions around how your kids behave in certain situations and what the provider thinks is the best action to take. And because there are plenty of activities to do in Southampton, you should ask questions about the fun things each childcare provider would do to keep your kids happy and entertained. Finally, ask each provider about their past childcare experience, references from other families in Southampton and if they are certified in first aid.
