Sophie
Babysitter in South Oxfordshire
My Summary
About Me
My name is Sophie. I have worked with children for 15 years between the ages of 10 months to 11 years, as well as being a mother myself, and I am currently available for part-time and ad-hoc babysitting.
I am very organised both at home and work, as well as creative, flexible and adaptable. I have social and collaborative skills that I have gained from related work experience and job roles. This relates to both adults and children. I also love to read various genres of literature and it has been an interest of mine since being a child myself. I love reading to children, especially stories that grip their imagination.
I am part of the DBS update service (certified since 2017).
My Experience
I have nanny experience with children of ages 2-11 years working within the family home. I am also a former primary school teacher and nursery practitioner, with a university degree in Early Childhood Studies. My experiences in both work and my own education have fueled my passion for working with children and a strong interest in the ways in which they grow and learn.
I have work experience in a variety of settings, including primary schools, nurseries, children's centres and as a nanny. I learnt how to interact with children from ages 0-18 and listen to individuals to understand their needs. In my nursery and nanny roles I was responsible for daily care including food, sleep provision, dressing, toilet training and more. I also have used the EYFS and National Curriculum guidance in practice so am able to support children with homework and home learning. I communicate with parents wherever possible as I truly value the role they play as main caregivers in relation to the children. It is important for children to have a comfortable environment, feeling safe and happy.
