ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Pamela. I'm a mum of four, including twins, and a qualified midwife.I set up 'The Riviera Sitter' after moving to Spain and realising how hard it can be to find an experienced, competent babysitter. I didn't want a local teenager or faceless agency to look after my kids - with 4 of them ranging from baby to preteen, I needed someone a level up who I could really trust! Nobody wants to play guessing games or take risks when it comes to their kids, but that means for many holidaymakers or expats without local family/friends there aren't many options for a bit of childfree time.That's why I decided to fill that gap myself. I'm still in the thick of parenting my children (aged from toddler to teen), and as a qualified midwife as well, I have buckets of experience with children of all ages! There's not much that I haven't had to deal with over the years and I'm now pretty much unfazed by anything kids can throw at me. I love children at all ages and enjoy getting to know them. I come prepared with jigsaws, colouring, games and stories and make sure they're entertained before bedtime. I'm also happy to help with homework and dinnertime so you don't have to rush through it before going out!I take the privilege of working with your kids very seriously. My priority is always to make sure that you're 100% comfortable leaving your little ones with me, and that your children feel secure and happy having me around.I welcome any and all questions - if you're nervous about using a sitter, ask away! I'm also fully police checked, insured, first aid trained and properly registered as a sole trader - because these are boring but important things that matter when you're looking for someone you can trust.
