Find a babysitter with Tinies
We offer babysitting services to parents in London and throughout the UK. There is no legal definition of babysitting but it normally covers the temporary care of a child or children, typically in an evening when the parents have a social engagement.
Recommended age of babysitters
The NSPCC recommends that babysitters should be older than 16 years of age. A babysitter below the age of 16 cannot be charged with neglect or ill treatment of children in their care.
Tinies babysitters are vetted and interviewed
Tinies has been supplying babysitting services and babysitters for over 30 years. We tend to use regular babysitters who are well known to Tinies. We have a wide range of babysitters who babysit for us, and they are all used to coming to a new home and caring for children whom they have just met.
We can find a babysitter whose experience matches the ages of the children they need to babysit.
We have vetted and interviewed all the babysitters who we use for our Tinies babysitting service, to give you piece of mind when leaving your children for the first time with our babysitters.
Sourcing your own babysitter
If you are sourcing your own babysitter yourself, here are some useful tips for interviewing babysitters:
Have you had any other babysitting jobs before? If so, how old were the children and over what period of time (and/or how often) did you babysit for them?
Have you completed any babysitter training, first aid, or childcare qualification courses?
What do you do in your spare time? Do you have any hobbies or other jobs?
How do your parents feel about your babysitting jobs?
What do you like best about babysitting and being with kids? What do you like least?
What is the most difficult situation you have encountered whilst babysitting children? How did you handle it?
