My Summary
About Me
I am offering routine childcare, ad-hoc babysitting, tutoring and housework services to local families in south-east London.
I am friendly, fair and empathetic, with good knowledge of child safety and safeguarding guidelines. My creative background and experience with arts facilitation means I offer lots of skills and creative ideas to help keep children engaged and at ease (away from the TV and tablet!).
My hobbies include cooking, baking, arts & crafts, digital art, writing poetry, reading, visiting galleries and museums.
I don’t drive. Non-smoker. Fully fluent English-speaker.
My Experience
I have lots of experience working with and overseeing children between the ages of 4-12.
I have babysitting experience spanning the past 6 years, early years and primary aged children.
I have worked on multiple creative engagement programmes for young children, including a ceramics club in Grove Park, and an arts club in Kilburn. I also have experience working with older children, after working on a collaborative programme in partnership with a local gallery and secondary school in south east London.
I helped raise my niece since birth, right through her toddler stages, she is now 6 years old and I have another niece due in August!
I am protective, enthusiastic and understanding.
When children are in my care, I prioritise working with parents to maintain an established routine, understanding their specific lifestyle and learning needs, and ultimately making things as fun as possible!
