Babysitter in Derby
My Summary
About Me
Hi, I’m Heather! I’m a responsible, caring and friendly individual with experience working with young people in a professional setting. I currently work in children’s services, so I’m confident in supporting children with different needs, managing behaviour positively, and creating a safe and nurturing environment.
I’m patient, reliable, and enjoy building positive relationships with children. I’m always happy to get involved in activities like games, crafts, or helping with homework, while also ensuring routines such as mealtimes and bedtime run smoothly.
I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident leaving their children with someone they trust, and I always aim to provide attentive, safe, and compassionate care.
My Experience
I have professional experience working with children and young people in both a residential care setting and a nursery, supporting a wide range of ages and needs. These roles have helped me develop strong skills in communication, patience, and understanding each child’s individual personality and needs.
In my nursery experience, I supported younger children with play-based learning, daily routines, and creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment. I’m confident with tasks such as feeding, changing, supervising play, and helping with nap times, while ensuring children feel comfortable and cared for.
In my current role within children’s services, I support young people with a range of emotional and behavioural needs. I am experienced in managing challenging behaviour in a calm and positive way, using de-escalation techniques and building trusting relationships.
Across both roles, I support with daily routines such as preparing meals, encouraging personal care, organising activities, and helping with bedtime routines. I always prioritise safeguarding and ensure children are safe, supported, and listened to at all times.
Through my experience, I’ve learned how important consistency, kindness, and clear boundaries are when caring for children, and I aim to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for every child.
