About Me

Hi! I'm Emily, a friendly and responsible student currently studying Pharmacy at Newcastle University. I’ve always loved spending time with children – whether it's helping them learn, keeping them entertained, or just being a calm, caring presence they can trust.

I’ve gained lots of experience working with young people through tutoring, teaching internships, and volunteering. From planning fun and engaging science lessons for secondary school students to helping younger children improve their schoolwork, I’ve learned how to adapt to different needs and personalities. I always aim to be patient, supportive, and encouraging.

I’m naturally warm and approachable, and I take pride in creating a safe and fun environment for kids. Whether it's reading together, playing games, helping with homework, or just having a good chat, I love getting to know children and building a genuine connection with them.

In my free time, I enjoy swimming, playing the piano, and going on nature walks. I also adore animals and don’t mind helping out with pets too!

If you’re looking for someone who is kind, responsible, and genuinely enjoys spending time with children, I’d love to help.

My Experience

I’ve had a mix of experience working with children through tutoring, a teaching internship, and informal childcare. I’ve planned and led lessons for younger students, helped kids with their schoolwork, and supported their learning in fun, engaging ways. I’ve also looked after younger relatives and family friends’ children, helping with everything from playtime and meals to bedtime routines.

These experiences have helped me become calm, patient, and good at adapting to different needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and creating a safe, positive space where they feel comfortable and happy.

My Qualifications

I'm currently a pharmacy student at Newcastle University, where I was awarded First Class Honours in my first year. This reflects not only my strong academic ability but also my dedication, focus, and attention to detail – qualities I bring into everything I do, including babysitting.

Before university, I achieved A*A*A in A-level Biology, Chemistry, and Psychology, and earned eight grade 9s at GCSE in subjects including Maths, English, and all three sciences. Studying subjects like Psychology has given me a deeper understanding of child development and behaviour, which really helps when caring for children of different ages.

My academic background means I’m confident helping with homework, school projects, and learning support, especially in science and maths. I also take pride in being reliable, well-organized, and calm under pressure – all important skills when looking after little ones!

My Availability

The chart given indicates my availability during summer holidays (June- mid-September) and other holiday periods throughout the academic year. This is because I am a university student so, I won't be available during term-time. Thank you
