About Me

NO CURRENT AVAILABILITY

I am a 25 year old university student studying MSc Speech and Language Therapy, who also holds a BA in Early Childhood Studies, making me a Level 6 Early Childhood Graduate Practitioner at the nursery I currently work part-time at. At the moment I am just looking for the odd day of babysitting here and there to fit in between university and the nursery, although I would love to find a more long term family to stay with if I can make it work alongside university!

I currently work part-time at a nursery, working primarily in the toddler room (18months-3years) although I also have previous experience at other nurseries and as a nanny working with children of all ages from 6weeks to 5years in age! I am DBS checked and hold a Level 3 Paediatric First Aid qualification

I volunteered for Girlguiding between 2012 - 2022 with children aged 5-11, and have worked at a children’s summer/activity camp as an Arts and Craft instructor, and so have experience working with children aged 4-14. I have also worked in a professional kitchen and so have experience making fun and exciting, yet healthy, meals and snacks!

I have had previous experience nannying/babysitting for a family with children aged 9.5 months and five years old, and have also had a long-term nannying role working with an amazing family who I was with for 12 months (aged 6-17 months)! Whilst working with this family, I meal-prepped, cooked and cleaned, took the child to doctors and vaccination appointments, and looked after the little girl from anywhere between 3hrs a day up to 9hrs depending on what the family needed from me!
(Details of any previous experience and roles available on request)

I also currently travel long distance to look after a 3 year old girl, doing the odd day here and there throughout the year when needed, and have done so since she was 2 weeks old (please note I do not drive, and so availability for this would be limited depending on trains and public transportation; this is currently paid for by the family I work for)

I have experience working with children with SEND - including autism, ADHD, and blindness - through my work in Early Years Settings, and have previously worked as a 1:1 within a nursery for children with autism, however have not done this outside of a nursery setting / as a nanny. Would be more than happy to discuss supporting families with additional needs if they believe I am the right fit for offering such care for their family!

Would be willing to do overnight, but would want to get to know the family and children first.
