My Summary
About Me
Hello :)
Seeking a Nanny/AuPair/Babysittng/Childminding position in my local area of Whitstable or surrounding areas.
I have plenty of experience with children of a variety of ages, my most recent being an AuPair in Australia where I took on the responsibility of being the sole care of a young baby. Additionally, over the past few years, I have spent a great deal of time looking after or just spending quality time with my niece and nephew (now 5 and 7). Anyone that knows me, knows I am the proudest auntie!
Many members of my work in child care settings, my twin sister a Teacher, older sister a baby room leader in a local nursery and my mum an AM to PM club Supervisor, so it only feels only right for me to follow in their footsteps.
I have 3 years experience of working in a small mum and baby shop in Whitstable, which I absolutely loved. I'm a people person and I thrive on personal interaction. Engaging with all the little babies and children who entered our shop made my job that extra special.
I am full of energy and enthusiasm. A competitive runner for two local running clubs as well as a weekly parkrunner which has become a huge part of my life over the last year.
I am often described as an enthusiastic, sweet and honest individual and I like to think that I know how to perfectly balance being a responsible adult and a fun loving care provider. I would be so excited for an opportunity to take on the role and responsibly to Nanny again - a job I previously found so rewarding.
Take care,
Kelly Smitherman
My Experience
AuPair in Perth - Western Australia for the duration of 2015.
Here I primarily looked after a 2 month old baby boy until he was 1 - full time/live in. I took on the 'Mothers role' whilst she went to work. I followed a strict routine set by the Mum which included set times for sleep/bath/feeds/play.
Additionally, I babysat for his big brother when necessary and helped out with housework and making the family meals.
I have previous work experiences from working in a number of state schools, nurseries and a special needs unit.
I am extremely family orientated and spend a lot of my free time with my niece and nephew aged 5 and 7 - I love more than anything in this world.
