My Summary
About Me
FULL DBS ON REQUEST
I have a good knowledge of mathematics up to GCSE level as a private tutor, as I am studying a Pure Maths degree at The Open University. I have a thorough knowledge of the government syllabus and have had several years experience, supporting childrens maths groups in primary schools. Also, experienced in supporting SEN children. Happy and confident to take on maths students, with all needs, from all levels.
I am an experienced Nanny looking for a babysitting or tutoring role. My last job was working in London for three families, all with young children. I work with 2 babies on any given day (not all three at once) and the babies were very happy to spend time together. All parties noticed how much progress and development the babies made when they were together, and learning from each other.
I have been working on a part time degree during the 3 days I have off. I'm studying pure mathematics, and I am interested in providing private tutoring lessons. Children are welcome to come to my study area if it suits them, I have a pretty and peaceful spot in Cam.
For nearly 3 years I have thoroughly enjoyed being a nanny, it's the best job I have had. Nurturing children and providing the care and support that they need is very rewarding.
I believe I make a great Nanny because I am mature, reliable, enthusiastic, and take every step in my stride. I also worked as a Teaching Assistant for nearly 4 years, learning from a range of specialists and professionals in a school setting was highly valuable in my progression to becoming a nanny.
Thank you for taking the time to read my letter and C.V. I hope this is of interest to you and very much look forward to hearing from you.

This tutor let us down a few days before starting
What led up to this was we simply asked for some evidence of her credentials for example proof of name or address or dbs or any references
She refused to give any
Furthermore she would only meet at a service station
Having refused to provide any ID so that we do not even know if her name is Melissa , she cancelled
Overall-

I have cancelled this job because I did not feel safe around Peter.
I have a job that I can take my dog to, when I responded to his request for help, I suggested that he meet the dog that I would have to leave in the car whilst working.
I said he could meet the dog on the canal path near my village, he went to the pub and suggested we had a drink, I could understand the confusion.
He made jokes about us meeting on valentines day, then looked disappointed when I spoke of my boyfriend.
I may be wrong but I got a bad feeling in Peters presence.
I do not regret my decision to cancel.
I apologise once again for not accepting the job.
