My Summary

My Experience

My career/experience with children started when I was 18. After obtaining A Levels in Business, Law and Early Years Education, I completed an Apprenticeship at a nursery, gaining my NVQ in Childcare. I then travelled to Australia, where I spent 2 years as an Au Pair for 3 different families. One with 3 children; 4 year old twins and a 2 year old, one with 2 children ages 10 and 12 and a family with 4 children ages 6 months, 3, 4 and 7 so I have a lot of experience with all different age groups as well as being the sole carer of multiple children, including overnight care when I have worked for parents who work night shifts and times when the parents have gone away on trips. I was also responsible for the home schooling of the older children, who's parents I most recently worked for in Sydney, due to Covid 19. I am creative and have lots of patience; I successfully invented lots of fun and educational activities and games to help the children learn and stay engaged so I am confident that I will be able to do the same for your children if required.

I have worked with all different types of families and dynamics. I have worked for parents who have been very present in their child's life and just need a helping hand and I have also worked for parents who prefer me to take on a more 'motherly' role. I am confident in my abilities and I am comfortable with all ages and situations when it comes to child care.

Upon arriving home at the end of 2021, I started working for Portsmouth City Council in Child Protection. I have a full DBS check as well as being a trained first aider and strong swimmer.

I am very positive, fun and bubbly but also mature, honest and responsible. I genuinely love children and want to make a difference in yours and your child’s life. I have a kind, affectionate nature and I genuinely love spending time with children - playing, laughing and watching them grow and learn. I like to think I have a very good sense of humour and I’m very easy to get along with. I’m laid back, flexible and happy to go with the flow but also super organised and understand how important routine is. I love all animals as well as cooking and baking and can also clean - I don’t mind getting stuck in!

I would be available early mornings, afternoons, evenings and weekends.
