About Me

I’m 23 years old and a final year violinist at RWCMD. I work adhoc hours in a nursery in Cardiff around my university schedule, working with children between the ages of 0-11 in this role- it depends on the day! I love my job and it’s been wonderful to get to know the children in the setting.

I babysit a 7 year old once a month and for a family with two children (3 and 18 months) occasionally too. I got in contact with both families through this website.
I can be flexible on activities I do with your child(ren) to fit in with your family’s needs. Examples of activities I’ve done with children I babysit include: play, crafts (painting, clay, hama beads, colouring etc), trips to the library, cinema, cafes, geocaching (basically an outdoor treasure hunt, she loved it and we did it again!)

I also had experience helping with children through my teenage years, through work experience and voluntary days at a nursery, helping at my music centre and dance school and also supervising children as their parents had coffee a couple of times a month.

Prior to working in the nursery, I worked in an opticians. One of my favourite parts of this role was meeting the children and families who came in for eye tests. In this role, I prescreened patients and helped them choose glasses. For the children, my main priority was to make the experience as fun as possible so that they'd be excited for their next opticians visit!

I would love to get to know you and your family and see if we might be a good fit.
