My Summary

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.

My Fees

• Babysitting from £14.00 per hour
• Nannying from £15.00 per hour (gross)

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
