My Summary
About Me
Hi! I’m 21 and going into my fourth year studying Anthropology at the University of Edinburgh. I’m easygoing, friendly, and enjoy being outdoors, keeping active, and meeting new people.
I’m really interested in going into childcare after uni, as I genuinely enjoy working with kids and find how they develop and think super interesting — especially from a psychological point of view. I’ve been nannying and babysitting for a while now, and it’s something I take seriously, while also making sure it’s fun and relaxed for the kids.
I’ll be in Edinburgh for most of the year and am looking for some extra hours around my studies. I’m calm, reliable, and have a lot of patience — I know how to handle the chaos as well as the calm!
My Experience
I’ve worked as a nanny for over a year, looking after a lovely 9-year-old girl with ADHD, autism, and PDA. It was a really rewarding experience and taught me so much about patience, communication, and understanding different needs.
I also have years of babysitting experience with children aged 1 to 13, and I’ve worked in nurseries during the summer with little ones aged 1–4. I’m confident with all the essentials like nappy changing, potty training, and handling tricky moments like tantrums! I’ve also volunteered in a primary school, helping 5–8 year olds with reading, so I’m more than happy to support with homework or tutoring too.
I’m fully first aid trained for babies and children, with a proper qualification and certificate. I’m calm in a crisis, good at keeping kids entertained, and always aim to create a fun, safe and supportive environment. I’m also happy to help out around the house with cleaning or chores if needed — I’m organised and like to keep things tidy!
I genuinely love working with children and always try to make them feel heard, supported, and happy. You can feel confident that your kids are in safe, caring hands with me.
My Qualifications
I have a DBS check and a Level 3 Paediatric First Aid certificate, which included 6 hours of in-person training covering both babies and children. I’ve also completed training through a nannying agency I worked with in Edinburgh, which covered safeguarding, managing routines, basic cooking, supporting learning, and handling tricky behaviour.
My Availability
Over the summer i am free most days around my 2 days a week working at a hostel and other babysitting and nannying shifts. Going on from mid September this will change slightly but am more than happy to work around my uni schedule. I also have a car so can travel to pick up and drop off etc.
