My Summary
About Me
Hello!
My name's Abby and I'm a qualified teacher with a three year old daughter who will be going to nursery in September.
Unfortunately, teaching wasn't for me so I decided to work freelance doing what I love - childacare and music!
I run a little music business from home, singing on TV and radio adverts, am looking to pick up a few extra hours of childcare.
Having 4 younger siblings, a daughter and several nieces and nephews, I enjoy a busy, bustling life and can relate well to children.
I received an enhanced DBS and First aid training when I was a teacher, and although both are expired now I’d be more than happy to discuss reapplying for these. I also have my own car and a full, clean driving licence so am happy to drop off/pick up.
In an ideal situation I’d love to be able to bring my daughter with me to work in the School holidays as my husband works full time, but if not I can always arrange care for her.
I absolutely love children and have experience of all ages and am also very comfortable with (in fact I LOVE) animals, I have two dogs and a cat myself so working in a home with pets is absolutely not a problem.
I’m happy to help with homework, cook meals, help with housework etc.
I’m available to start immediately and can be flexible with hours.
Thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing from you,
Abby
My Experience
Until recently I worked as a teacher in a special needs boys’ school, leading a class of young people on the autistic spectrum and often with other difficulties too. The nature of their needs meant that I have learned to become adaptable, inclusive, patient and understanding of each person’s individual needs. I have 4 significantly younger siblings, 3 on the autistic spectrum, and spent the majority of my teenage years helping my then single mother to bring them up, as well as working as a babysitter for a number of families in the local area. In the summer before University I worked full time as a nanny, looking after 11 year old twins, ensuring I followed their daily routine and kept them busy and happy. Being a qualified teacher, I can help with homework and daily education of children, as well as having a number of other relevant qualifications, including safeguarding and food hygiene.
