My Summary

My Experience

I’ve got quite a wide experience in childcare. I started looking after children at the age of 14 when my sister was born . Since then I’ve been doing mainly part time babysitting/nannying to numerous kids of different ages . I’ve also been an Au pair 3 times in Ireland, UK and Spain . In Ireland I was taking care of a 9year old girl , a newborn baby and mainly a 12 month old boy for 1 year(2019/2020) . In Spain I was a summertime Au pair / sitter watching over a 5 year old girl and her 14 year old sister (2020) . And finally in the UK I have been the au pair/nanny of two girls age 3&8. All of those families have been the best people I could ever imagine living with . (References available)

Whilst gaining all of that valuable experience, I got the chance to learn how to actively and effectively care for infants, toddlers and young kids without necessarily studying it .

Due to dealing with different ages I have been able to learn what each one of the individuals I look after need . Generally engaging with each child and giving them attention and time is my primary responsibility. Other additional duties depending on age mainly include organising/supervising indoor and outdoor activities which can help in their physical and mental development (playing, reading books , walking , cycling, singing etc ) , assisting with homework, meal preparation, bathing , getting them ready for naps/bedtime and generally maintain their daily routine.
