My Summary

My Experience

I have previous experience working in a holiday camp that was mainly aimed at keeping children active but I was given the role of organizing fun, creative activities to allow the children to explore materials and give them confidence in themselves. We made cars out of cardboard boxes, dolls out of wooden spoons, went on walks around central park and made art with found objects and so much more. While working at this club I received a variety of training from learning through play to food safety.

Before I worked at the summer camp I would help my Gran who has recently retired as a childminder. She considered the children she looked after as extended Grandchildren and always made them feel at home. I loved helping the children learn how to paint and draw and made sure they always had something special to be proud of and show their parents. I have learnt a lot from her.

I have always grown up surrounded by pets from Dogs and Cats to Hedgehogs and Rabbits. I'm experienced with a range of dog breeds and ages. I have pet sit many times for friends and family for the last few years and finally feel confident enough to offer it to clients. I have lots of plants too so more than happy to make sure your plants are watered and that your post is safe. I have experience with dogs that can be reactive towards other dogs so please let me know in advance if this is the case.

I'm happy to help out with bits of housework while I am looking after your child or pet so feel free to ask me about this :)

My Qualifications

While working at the summer camp I was required to complete regular training sessions. The Pavilions would also have training in first response for both children and adults. I was the first responder for many first aids during my time working there so I am confident in emergency situations.
