My Summary

My Experience

I started babysitting at aged 13, looking after infants as young as 3 months old. I consistently babysat on weekends while at school and continued this during my time at University. Through this website I found a family that I babysat for regularly, as well as a family that I did after-school nannying for.

In 2019, I went on to work at a residential summer camp in the US. For 3 months I worked as a drama and arts instructor, planning and running engaging lessons for children aged 6-16. I also provided support to general counsellors during meal times, as well as helping the children with morning and nighttime routines. In this role I worked with children from varying backgrounds, including children with a diverse range of educational, behavioural and emotional needs.

From 2021-2023 I worked as an Education Worker for a charity organisation. Here I planned and ran workshops and after-school programmes for students aged 7-18. I was extensively trained in the Safeguarding of vulnernable young people, as well as receiving first aid training. In this role I provided long-term pastoral support for students on a daily basis, working with over 1,000 young people in each of my years with the organisation.

My Qualifications

I have a MA(Hons) Philosophy and Theology degree from the University of Edinburgh, Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) qualification from the TEFL Org. First Aid training from the British Red Cross, REHIS Food Hygiene Certificate and extensive training in Educational Theory and Safeguarding.
