Babysitting Agency launching soon

Do you need an added extra income?
Do you need a regular babysitter?

The Professional Babysitting Agency requires more sitters to join their team.

Each sitter requires a qualification in childcare (level 2 or above) / teaching or nursing qualification for working with children, maybe you are a childminder or nanny.

You will also require a current Paediatric First Aid certificate, portable DBS and be willing to undertake insurance for your work.

Once this is in place you can be in control of how often you work and the money you earn is yours to keep.

Parents need a good reliable person to call upon when they need their children looking after. Not every family can call upon relatives as some live too far away to help.

It would be nice to be able to join that gym, attend that social event or go to that special meeting and know that a trusted professional was looking after your child, a professional who will take the time to get to know your child and give him/her the level of professional support they need when you are not at home.

That person can be an extension to your family network and help when you need them most.

All sitters will go through the vetting procedures of a DBS check, ID check, qualification check and at least two references to ensure they are suitable. All sitters will be strongly recommended to take out insurance to cover them whilst sitting. All sitters will be personally interviewed and their DBS checked every six months thereafter.

If you are a professional working with children, then contact us now for an application form to start the vetting procedure and earn yourself some added income.

Or if a parent, then take the worry and stress out of finding a sitter and join our agency soon to be launched. Membership fees are only taken when the first booking is required.

Is your current trusted babysitter insured - is he/she trained to deal with emergencies - how precious is your child's safely to you?

Join now for total peace of mind.

Please contact us today to find out about our highly competitive prices.

Robert Goodwill (the man who would not listen to desperate UK childcare providers) sacked

Minister of State for Children and Families, Robert Goodwill has been sacked from his government position after only seven months in the job. 

He leaves behind total and utter devastation, as many nurseries have been forced to close their doors for good while their campaigning for better funding from the Conservative government have fallen on deaf ears.

Childcare professionals around the country are hoping that this opens a doorway into finally being heard and having the funding issues properly addressed and turned around. 

PM Theresa May MUST realise the massive mistakes made by her government. Now is her chance to begin to rectify the mess her government has made since bringing in the 30 hours free funding and putting such restrictions on providers in the contracts councils make all providers adhere to. 


So what exactly is the problem? 

It mainly comes down to funding levels being too low. Many providers' rates per hour are £6 plus, but the Government rates actually paid to providers will start at £3.65 being the lowest in some parts of the country to £6.40 the highest in other parts. 

The majority of rates are approximately £4/hour. From this funding providers are not allowed to pay for meals, snack, nappies and other items, so this charge will have to be met by either the parent or the provider's personal money.  

The Government is saying that providers can ask parents for a 'voluntary contribution' for items, what they really mean is that parents are to be asked to make up for the underpayment by the government and if they say no, the provider has to find it out of their own pockets.  The words 'Free Funding' may appear to be highly attractive but it does not meet the needs and is highly ambiguous. The funding levels are so low that many owners of theses businesses cannot even pay themselves a wage most of the time. 

The funding levels will not be sustainable for many and a lot of providers have already closed their doors for good. We are losing Ofsted - rated 'Outstanding' providers who have been in the business for over thirty years. This is because the Government has clearly not analysed the inherent problems involved, regarding their 'free funding' proposals and put together a workable project fit for purpose. 

So for £4 /hour which is frozen now until 2020, what are providers expected to offer? High quality childcare and resources, highly trained staff, wages which rise each year, pensions, staff holiday pay, rent, business rates, food, consumables ie nappies etc, staff meetings, meetings with other professionals to support parents and families and business advertising amongst many other things. 

Robert Goodwill refused to listen to the problems, hopefully his successor will. 

The campaign continues.
