Household Help in Huddersfield

About Me

I'm a mature, educated single mum to two young adults, both now at local universities, who quite naturally need me much less these days. I miss being around younger children so I'm hoping to change direction and care for them professionally. My qualifications are in other areas but I do have extensive personal experience of holding sole responsibility for children's emotional and physical health and well-being.

I have a recent DBS certificate and a First Class Honours degree in Religion and Education (2010). The degree (and subsequent experience in HE) equipped me with a solid understanding of educational policy, theory and practice, leaving me ideally equipped to support learning. I do not have QTS or childcare qualifications. I do also have two years' experience of scholarship-funded PhD research.

Additionally, I'm an experienced freelance PA, Administrator and Copy Editor. My website includes some superb testimonials from academics and professionals. The site is in the process of being updated and should soon include new testimonials. My early career was as a studio session vocalist, so I can also offer support for any pint-sized budding singers.

I'm friendly and helpful. I campaign against poverty. I love music, comedy, animals and nature. I'm happy to undertake any housekeeping, administrative or cleaning duties around caring for children; and to consider roles primarily focussed on housekeeping.

Any positions offering accommodation for myself and two kids would be of particular interest. I don't have a full driving licence but I'm keen to learn and I do have some experience. I'm available immediately in any capacity and on any reasonable terms.
