About Me

I'm a warm, reliable, and responsible individual with a genuine love for working with children. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your child in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’m patient, attentive, and always make safety and wellbeing my top priorities. Whether it’s helping with homework, engaging in creative play, or maintaining routines, I bring a calm and caring presence to every home. I’m also punctual, organised, and respectful of each family’s individual needs and values. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and fun environment where children feel secure, happy, and understood.

My Experience

As a student nurse, I’ve developed strong skills in care, safeguarding, communication, and responsibility; all of which are essential when looking after children. I’ve also previously worked as a tutor, which taught me how to keep children engaged, patient when explaining things, and how to adapt to different learning styles and personalities. My retail experience has helped me stay calm under pressure, multitask effectively, and communicate clearly with both adults and children. In addition, I’m an active member of my church committee, where I’ve supported family and community events, reinforcing my values of integrity, compassion, and service. Together, these experiences have shaped me into someone who is warm, reliable, and deeply committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for children of all ages.

My Qualifications

I’m currently studying Mental Health and Adult Nursing at the University of Leicester, working towards a master’s degree, and I hold an enhanced DBS check, CPI Safety Intervention training, and safeguarding certification. My background includes two years of retail experience at Boots, where I worked in a customer-focused and health-related setting, as well as tutoring GCSE students, which developed my patience, communication, and ability to engage with children. I also volunteer with my local church, helping to lead youth and charity events, which has strengthened my sense of responsibility, compassion, and community. My nursing education has trained me to stay calm under pressure, act quickly in emergencies, and support emotional wellbeing, all of which are key to providing safe, reliable, and kind childcare.
