My Summary

My Experience

Babysitting Experience (2012 – 2017)
Over five years, I worked with four families in Germany, caring for children of different ages ranging from infants as young as 2 months old to primary-aged children (5 to 6 years old). My responsibilities varied according to the needs of each family but typically included:

1 Infant Care (2 months – 1 year):
Bottle-feeding, sterilising bottles, and preparing formula
Nappy changing, bathing and dressing
Followed safe sleep routines and monitoring baby’s wellbeing
Engaged in early stimulation activities such as songs, reading aloud and sensory play
Maintained close communication with parents about feeding times, sleep patterns and developmental progress

1 Toddler (1 year old):
Prepared healthy snacks and simple meals
Supported toilet training and self-care routines
Planned creative and play-based activities to support motor, social and language development
Took children to local parks, libraries and playgroups while ensuring safety at all times
Encouraged early speech and language through interactive games, songs and stories

3 Primary-aged Children (5 and 6 years):
Supervised playdates and outdoor activities, ensured safety and positive social interaction
Helped with reading, phonics, homework and creative projects
Established calm and consistent routines for after-school care
Supported emotional wellbeing by modelling kindness, patience and positive behaviour
Collaborated with parents on behaviour expectations and household rules

This experience gave me a deep understanding of child development at different stages and strengthened my ability to balance care, learning and fun. It also reinforced the importance of being adaptable, resourceful and calm under pressure. My later professional roles as an English Intervention Teaching Assistant in London and an EFL Teacher with Embassy Summer have further developed skills that are invaluable in childcare, including:
Strong behaviour management and safeguarding awareness
Ability to adapt activities for children with diverse needs, including multilingual and SEND learners
Building trusting relationships quickly with children and families
Promoting resilience, curiosity and confidence in young learners

With my combined background in babysitting, teaching and safeguarding, I am confident in providing high-quality childcare that supports children’s development while giving parents peace of mind.

My Qualifications

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Primary and Secondary Education from the University of Osnabrueck in Germany, where I specialised in English and Islamic Religion and a Master of Science in Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology from the University of East London. These qualifications have given me both a strong pedagogical foundation and a deep understanding of children’s emotional wellbeing, resilience and motivation. I am also TEFL-certified (150-hour Advanced TEFL, TEFL UK) and have completed Level 1 Safeguarding training with the British Council, ensuring I am fully prepared to create safe, nurturing and stimulating environments for children. My academic background, combined with my hands-on childcare and teaching experience, enables me to support children’s holistic growth, academically, socially, and emotionally.
