My Summary
About Me
I am a kind, patient, caring and fun person, with lots of childcare experience. I currently have evening availability, weekday and weekend.
I've worked in a school for the last two years, and have worked with children in various other capacities in the past, as I explain below.
Outside of work, I really enjoy being outdoors and active (cycling, climbing, hiking...), as well as gardening, crafts and music. I have enjoyed being able to share such skills with the children that I’ve worked with.
I'm also fully bilingual (and bi-cultural) in English and French, with experience of living in both countries.
Please do get in touch if you’d like me to work with your children and I will try to get back to you promptly!
My Experience
I have worked as a Teaching Assistant & Support Worker, and doing teacher cover work, in a school (5-17 years old) for approximately two years, with lots of previous work experience in childcare (including daycare nursery assistant, babysitting, nannying, and tutoring children aged 5 months-15 years).
In the last two years, I’ve worked with children with a range of special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), so am very open and able to look after children with additional needs.
This line of work suits my skill-set and personal qualities well, having an empathetic, kind, and calm personality, and being skilled at engaging children with different abilities and needs. It has also lent to my patience, flexibility and adaptability to different children’s needs and preferences.
I have basic child first-aid training, and have received extensive safeguarding training, as well as medication administration and epilepsy training. I also have Youth Mental Health First Aid training.
I am fully bilingual in English and French, and speak / understand intermediate Spanish. I have previously given French tutoring to children I have cared for, when requested by parents, for an additional fee.
My Qualifications
BSc Psychology (Hons); extensive training from schools I have worked in, including safeguarding, basic first-aid, Youth Mental Heath First Aid
My Availability
I currently have evening availability on weekdays and weekends, and open to discussing overnight arrangements. I look forward to hearing from you!
