My Summary
About Me
Hi! I'm Jayden, I’m a qualified and caring babysitter with a Level 6 Childhood Practice qualification and a Professional Development Award in Education Support Assistance. I have over three years of experience supporting children in nurseries, primary schools, and afterschool clubs. I'm passionate about creating a calm, safe, and engaging environment where children feel happy, secure, and free to be themselves.
I’m a naturally patient, reliable person who always puts children's well-being first. While I may come across as a little reserved at first due to anxiety, I adapt quickly once I feel comfortable—and from there, I build strong, positive connections with both kids and parents. I pride myself on being gentle, supportive, and fully present during my time with children.
Outside of babysitting, I enjoy ice skating, learning guitar, relaxing with a good Netflix series, and spending time with friends. I’m also an active member of an LGBTQ+ youth group called Glitter Cannons, where I’ve developed a strong sense of community, creativity, and support.
My Experience
I’ve completed four professional placements in early years and primary education settings, where I:
Supported children’s learning and play in nurseries and afterschool clubs.
Helped plan and deliver lessons and group activities in primary schools.
Assisted with routines such as mealtimes, nappy changes, nap time, and transitions.
Encouraged social skills, communication, and creativity through storytelling and imaginative play.
Gained experience working with children who have additional support needs.
I’ve also completed:
Forest Kindergarten training, with a focus on outdoor and child-led play.
Starcatchers training, which promotes creativity in early years
The Rookie Lifeguard programme, including basic CPR and water safety.
I'm interested in earning a certified first aid qualification, and learning sign language to help make communication more inclusive.
I’m happy to assist with bedtime routines, homework help, snack prep, or light tidying. I always aim to be a calm, caring presence who gives parents peace of mind and children a fun, supportive experience.
