My Summary

My Experience

From 2018- 2019 I started ad hoc babysitting, primarily on weekends and evenings.

In 2016 and 2017 I cared for a 2 year old on a part time basis. This included picking him up from nursery, play time, cooking and helping with bed times.

From Feburary 2016 until August 2016, I worked at a nursery setting in South West London three days a week caring for children between one and three years of age. I started university at the end of September and now need work that fits in with my studies.

From August 2014 until February 2016 I worked as an Au-Pair in the USA caring full time for two boys, aged 1 1/2 and 3 1/2. It was a great experience particularly as the youngest was only four months when I started and nearly two years old by the time I left. I saw both the boys develop and reach major milestones.

From April 2014 until July 2014 I was a live in nanny for a family in Kensington/Notting Hill Gate area. I cared for a little 2 year old boy and also occasionally helped care for his newborn twin siblings.

January 2014 until April 2014 – Temporary nanny jobs which included the following:

1. Stepping in as a full time nanny for 2.5 weeks (50 hrs per week) due to a family whose current nanny was sick in hospital
2 .Ad hoc/babysitting for families in my local area in London
3. A regular Saturday job helping two Italian boys learn English
4. Looking after twin 18 month old girls full time
5. Cortina, Italy, for just over 2 weeks with another Italian family helping their children with homework as well as helping them advance in their English

Whilst traveling in America, I was a voluntary night nanny four nights a week for a 6 year old boy. I also took time to get to know him in the day and did other occasional babysitting for him and other parents in the community.

I spent the summer of 2013 nannying three days a week for twin girls (age one) until they were able to attend a nursery in September. This included: feeding, bathing, arranging stimulating learning activities and outings, play groups, bed time routines as well as keeping the girls nursery and play areas tidy. I have had the pleasure of helping them in their development particularly with learning to walk and talk.

I have experience in Sticky Fingers Nursery where I volunteered for children between the ages of about five months to five years of age. During this time I became really keen on children learning through play and also became very familiar with the EYFS curriculum. I spent a lot of time helping with feeding and sleeping routines, resolving conflicts, risk assessments, observations, and planning age appropriate activities.

I've spent many years babysitting (2006-present). I've done occasional live-in weekend/week nanny work for a family with four children (two boys and two girls), volunteered in many play-groups as well as helping with Sunday school in my local church.
