The Person Behind Helpful Rider

Hello! I’m Jen!

I originally trained as a teacher and worked in primary education (early years), but I’ve spent over 12 years in the third sector, managing charitable projects for children, adults, people with learning disabilities and disabilities, families and communities. Alongside this, I’ve built up more than 6 years’ experience in house sitting, babysitting and pet sitting, working with a wide range of households and situations.

I’m first aid trained, hold Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) training and have a current Enhanced DBS available to share. I also have references for all types of work I offer: babysitting, pet sitting, house sitting and home organising – so you don’t have to take my word for it.

Helpful Rider is simply me bringing all of that together: calm, practical, trustworthy help, turning up on two wheels when you need an extra pair of hands.
