About Me

Hello! My name is Matilda. I have just finished my first year of university at Reading, studying Art and Psychology and am looking for work over the summer (with potential to continue during term time depending on my timetable). Before starting uni I was living in London working as a nanny and in the theatre industry.
I am creative, empathetic, inclusive and adaptable. I love nature and being outside; I am social and chatty and enjoy music and the arts.

My Experience

Last year, I was working with two different families as a nanny. I was on school pick up for a energetic 7 year old two days a week. We have enjoyed roller skating, baking, making up stories for one another and lots of playing Sylvanian families. I also worked with a curious, cheeky 1 year old. We would spend the day together on Wednesdays, speaking french to help with his language development.

In 2020-2021 I was living in France looking after 3 French children as their au pair. The children were aged 1, 5 and 7 when I arrived. I was responsible for picking the older girls up from school every day, getting them to their after-school activities on time playing with them, helping with homework and teaching them English. On Wednesday the children didn't have school or nursery so I was with them all day, organising activities, and games and getting them to and from clubs and activities on public transport.

I have younger cousins and my parents fostered children so I have experience looking after and being with children for much of my childhood. Additionally, I have been a leader on a summer camp, supervising kids between the ages of 11-16 during adventure activities and at the beach. I have been part of the team facilitating week-long theatre holiday clubs for kids aged 4-11. I was part of a small team who shared the role of leading the kids in creative activities, with a focus on making it accessible and fun for everyone.

I worked as a support worker at St Mungo's homeless charity for a year in 2023. I have experience working with people with complex mental health issues. This has given me experience multi-tasking, prioritising based on individual needs and given me a clear understanding of health and safety and mitigating risks. I have excellent communication skills and am able to stay calm in stressful environments.

My Qualifications

I completed school and college with 8 GCSEs between C/5 and A/8, two A levels and a CTEC. After college I completed an art foundation course.
I have completed adult first aid training and an online children's first aid course. I have infection control, fire safety and epilepsy training, among other courses completed in my support worker roles.

My Availability

I am flexible for sporadic or more routine work. My availability will change from mid-September but happy to discuss as needed.
Unfortunately, I am not prepared to drive for a job.

For babysitting jobs, if the kids are awake then my rate would be the same as nannying and once they're asleep £13/ hour.
If less than 12hours notice is given for a job then I would charge £15/ hour
