My Summary
About Me
I am 26 years old and a 2023 graduate of the BA Acting (Musical Theatre) programme at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama. I have recently completed an MSc in Psychology at the University of Roehampton and am now seeking work as a mental health support worker. Alongside this, I am available for ad hoc babysitting in the Barnet/Whetstone area during evenings and weekends. My long-term goal is to progress onto a Clinical Psychology doctoral programme, with the aim of specialising in Child Psychology.
I love singing and performing, baking, psychology books, documentaries, animals, being in nature, and anything artistic. I am very interested in mental health and wellbeing, especially in developmental psychology. I am very aware of how important it is to create a safe, nurturing environment for children where they feel heard, understood, and valued; this is very important to me and always at the front of my mind during any childcare work that I do. I also hold a certificate in Paediatric First Aid.
My Experience
I have experience working in primary schools and nurseries as a teaching assistant with children aged 2–11. I also work regularly at Barracudas in Barnet, a children’s activity day camp for ages 4–14, where I have taken on a range of roles including group leader, activity leader, camp administrator, and welfare officer as part of the management team. I was the performing arts teacher to the 5-6 year olds at Jigsaw Theatre Arts Potters Bar on Saturday mornings from April 2024 until July 2025, and I babysit regularly for children aged 3-11.
I am very sensitive to the needs of children of all age groups and I am very accustomed to time-keeping with bedtime routines. I speak Spanish and Catalan fluently, as well as English, and I am more than happy to help children practice their Spanish if that is something they would like :)
