My Summary

About Me
I am 30 years old, with over 10 years childcare experience in babysitting, nanny roles, nurseries, schools and children's homes. I also have significant experience working with children with additional needs, specifically ASD, and have worked primarily as a 1:1 in a mainstream nursery for the last 12 months. I am currently awaiting registration as a childminder's assistant.
I have studied Speech and Language Therapy for several years, a BA (Hons) in Childhood and Youth Studies and am currently enrolled on my MSc Psychology, which I complete at home.
I am very honest, punctual and loyal. I am very reliable, even at quite short notice, and can commute locally. I have a full, clean driving license and drive my own car.. which is always stocked with kids storybooks!
I have been babysitting now on and off for over 10 years, with experience with multiples, sibsets, special needs and newborns.
Contact me any time by phone or email.
My Experience
I have been babysitting for around 10 years now, and have been on this site for approx 7 years. I have looked after children from as young as 4 months up to 15 years, with up to 4 children at any one time, so I am experienced with all ages. I also have newborn experience.
Currently I work in a nursery, though I have previously worked in a children's home, a specialist ASD home, and adult care. I am the "Makaton Lead" for our whole setting and "Communication Expert" for Under 2s.
At University, I studied Speech and Language Therapy for 3 years including residential placements, though I did actually change degrees later on. This being said, I have experience with ASD, Communication delays, Dyspraxia and CP, to name a few.
I have previously worked one to one with a little boy, 5, with developmental delays and communication difficulties, supporting him with school work, routine and accessing activities.
Most recently, I have looked after two wonderful school aged children one evening a week, and support them with homework, reading, basic meal preparation, transport to/from hobbies or activities, crafts and their evening routines.
