About Me

Hi,

My name is Sam, I'm 30 years old and I have 2 daughters (5 years and 13 months). I live in Torquay with my husband, daughters and 2 cats. I'm available for nannying on Wednesdays (I'd need to bring my youngest along) or babysitting in the evenings and weekends. I can also help out with school holiday care and I'd need both my children to come with me although this wouldn't impact on my care of any other children.

I am currently a supervisor for the Mental health support team in schools for the NHS but I've worked in nurseries and schools previously.

My level 3 safeguarding children qualification is up to date.

My Experience

I have been working with children in various settings since the age of 12. I am a qualified gymnastics coach and have been since I was 16 years old. I was responsible for the teaching and safety of up to 25 children at a time which was undoubtedly hard but I am good at keeping order and I find it very rewarding.

I have worked in nurseries and schools and worked with children from 3 months to 12 years. I am an extremely caring individual and I couldn't imagine doing anything other than working with children!

I worked in a summer camp summer 2015 in the U.S for 2 months where I worked with children of all ages. I have also worked for EF as an activity leader and a Local Teacher, taking care of 30+ teenagers, teaching English and ensuring they had an enjoyable time whilst doing so.

I am currently a supervisor to education Mental Health Practitioners where I support children who are experiencing anxiety and low mood as well as parents who are in need of help with their child's anxiety or behaviour.

I have 2 children myself and so I have newborn experience as well as experience working with children and teens up to 18.
