About Me

Hi I’m Serina! Im 22 years old and grew up in London. I’m a caring, responsible and enthusiastic individual with a strong passion for working with children. I currently work as a Teaching Assistant in schools, where I support students in the classroom and also tutor children one on one and in small groups, helping them grow both academically and emotionally.

With years of experience in customer facing roles, I’ve developed excellent communication, patience and problem solving skills. I’ve also volunteered with homeless families and refugees, which has deepened my empathy and sense of community.

I understand the importance of creating a safe, nurturing and fun environment for children and I’d love the opportunity to support your family in any way I can!

My Experience

I have been working with children in both professional and personal settings for several years. I currently work as a Teaching Assistant in primary and secondary schools, where I support students in the classroom, help manage behaviour and provide one on one or small group tutoring in core subjects like English and Maths. This role has deepened my understanding of child development, learning styles and how to create a positive and engaging environment for children of different ages and abilities.

Before this, I tutored children privately and also babysat regularly for families in my neighbourhood, starting at age 16. I have cared for children ranging from 6 months to 10 years old, handling responsibilities like feeding, nappy changes, bedtime routines, school pickups and planning fun and age appropriate activities. As the eldest of four siblings, I have always been actively involved in childcare at home, soothing babies, helping with homework and supporting my mum with day to day parenting tasks.

My experience has helped me develop patience, adaptability and strong communication skills, which I use to ensure children feel safe, supported and understood in my care.

My Qualifications

I hold a BA (Hons) in Politics from Coventry University, where I graduated with a 2:1 and completed a year-long industrial placement. While my academic background is not in childcare, my degree helped me develop critical thinking, time management, and communication skills — all valuable when working with children and families.

In addition, I’ve gained a range of transferable skills through my work in customer service roles, including at Dukes Hotel and MB Heating and Plumbing, where I learned to stay calm under pressure, resolve issues efficiently, and communicate clearly with people of all ages. I’m also trained in health and hygiene practices from my time in hospitality, which I apply when preparing meals or maintaining clean and safe environments for children.

My Availability

I’m available on weekdays from early mornings, which means I can help with school drop-offs, morning routines, or full-day care as needed. I’m also flexible and happy to support on weekends when required. My reliable schedule allows me to be consistent and adaptable to your family’s needs whether that’s occasional help or regular support throughout the week.
