My Summary
About Me
Greetings, I am Sophia!
I thoroughly enjoy working with small children, engaging in activities like singing, dancing, and messy play to create an environment filled with joy and laughter. My approach is centered around making sure little ones not only have their needs met but also have a great time in the process. It's immensely rewarding to see their smiles and enthusiasm as we embark on these delightful adventures together.
On top of this I am a dedicated professional with a background in child development, holding a Psychology degree from Sheffield. Over the course of my career, I have garnered extensive experience in working with children, particularly those diagnosed with Autism and ADHD. Recognizing the challenges these individuals face in classroom settings, I am well-versed in providing additional support from a home-based perspective.
My commitment extends to offering comprehensive babysitting services, ensuring the fulfillment of your child's needs, whether it pertains to feeding, engaging in activities, or maintaining a nurturing environment during rest periods. In addition to childcare, I am willing to assist with light housekeeping tasks as per your preferences.
I am open to occasional babysitting engagements as a means to establish rapport and, upon building a trusting relationship, explore the possibility of transitioning to a more regular basis. Having previously worked in nursery and primary school settings, I possess a nuanced understanding of child development and education. Should you require references attesting to my professional capabilities, please feel free to request them. For any inquiries or further clarification, do not hesitate to reach out.
My Experience
I bring a diverse professional background, having worked in both nursery and primary school settings. Currently, I serve as a support worker for adults with learning disabilities, utilizing my skills to provide personalized assistance. In my past role as a nurse assistant at a primary school, I offered support to children in need of extra behavioral guidance.
Moreover, I have valuable experience working with CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services), contributing to my understanding of mental health in young individuals. Additionally, I actively volunteer at the SayIt Youth Club, engaging with the community and showcasing my commitment to various aspects of community service and healthcare.
