About Me

I'm a 38 years old man from Spain, have lived in a few countries around the world and after 14 years on the go, I decided almost 7 years ago to settle in Brighton.
I love to go to the beach as this brings me back to my childhood when I used to go on holiday with my parents and little brother, I'm a really family person and even though I'm living in England I try to go and visit my family few times a year and I'm in contact everyday with them. In my spare time I also like to meet my friends and also at the moment I'm learning a new language.

My Experience

Since I was really young I have the capacity to look after my young brother, I always loved children and after moving for the first time to England (London) when I was 19 years old I start to look after children, in this case Special Needs and other challenging behaviour professionally. After working with children as volunteer, in an after school club and also privately I become a chef like my mother. I have been a chef for 13 years and right now I have been working in a Children's Therapeutic Home for over 2 years where I look after and provide therapeutic care for 7 children with challenging behaviour, ADHD and also forms of autism.
Working full time at the moment as a room leader in a nursery.

My Qualifications

I’m a first aider, go knowledge of Makaton, started the NVQ level 3 in early years which is a skill developing course. I have level 3 in childhood development and a bunch of different online and face to face courses related to children.

My Availability

I can say that I have the capacity to listen to the children and let them express themselves. I believe children are the future and that's why I'm reassuring the children to become the best version of themselves. I have a really good relationship with children in general and I give them my trust for them to be able to trust me, this comes naturally, I work well under pressure and I'm really active person which is a must caring for children. I follow the nature curriculum.

My Fees

  • Babysitting from £15.00 per hour

Will be a thing to discuss with the family as not everybody can pay the same and less in this difficult times we live on. My priority is like everyone else to be able to pay my bills.
My fees are based on my knowledge.

Ivan kindly agreed to babysit for us last-minute; our two boys really enjoyed meeting him, he had a calming influence, friendly attitude, and my boys gave very positive feedback. My youngest struggles to go to sleep but Ivan got him down easily. I would definitely recommend Ivan and would happily use him to babysit regularly!
