My Summary

My Experience

With an amalgamation of medical knowledge and a genuine affinity for children, I have had the privilege of caring for children of all ages as a babysitter over the past five years, ranging from newborns to spirited teenagers. My experience as a babysitter has not only honed my patience and adaptability but has also given me unique insights into the diverse needs and personalities that children exhibit at various stages of their lives.
My commitment to children's well-being extends beyond this role. I have actively engaged with various voluntary educational organisations, including at a local planetarium, channeling my energy into creating enriching and educational experiences for young learners. From creating interactive workshops to sparking curiosity through creative activities, I have been driven by the belief that every child deserves a nurturing environment that promotes their individual holistic growth.
In addition to my hands-on experiences, I work as a tutor for young minds aged 13 to 18. Through personalised tutoring sessions, I not only assist with academic challenges but also foster a passion for learning that extends beyond the mere curriculum. As an advocate for diverse learning styles, I have also had the opportunity to consult on effective home education techniques, collaborating with parents to tailor educational approaches that suit their child's individual strengths.
My aspiration to specialise in paediatrics fuels my dedication for child care. On a weekly basis, I shadow a consultant paediatrician in a clinic caring for children from newborn infancy up until the age of 19. I approach every interaction with children with the utmost empathy, respect, and a keen understanding of the importance of their formative years. By combining my medical background with my innate love for children, I strive to create an environment that supports their physical, emotional, and intellectual development.
I strive to be fun and engaging, by personalising my time and the relationship with the children I care for, supporting them to explore hobbies and subjects that they have a sincere predilection for. My responsibilities in previous roles have included taking children to and from school, assisting with their homework (for example with reading, writing and numerical support for younger children), planning exciting activities at the weekends and overseeing recreational activities especially baking, sports, art and gardening. Furthermore, I am very comfortable in the kitchen and relish time spent making nourishing and healthy food to nurture children and their family. I have experience in catering for households with allergies or food intolerance, meaning that I can be versatile in the meals I prepare.
Moreover, I hold an enhanced DBS check and have completed qualifications in -Safeguarding Children and Young People Level 2
-Safeguarding Adults At Risk – Level 2 including Mental Capacity Act (MCA)
-First Aid and Basic Life Support Training
-SJA COVID-19 Vaccinator Course
