My Summary
About Me
Hi, I’m Kirsty! I’ve been working in childcare for over 9 years, mainly in a nursery setting, where I looked after children from babies to preschool age. I love creating fun, engaging activities that help kids learn and grow, while also making sure they always feel safe and cared for. Parents describe me as patient, reliable, and approachable — and I take pride in building strong, trusting relationships with the families I work with.
My Experience
I am a caring, reliable, and experienced childcare professional with over 9 years of hands-on experience working in a nursery setting, as well as several years of babysitting for families. Throughout this time, I have cared for children of all ages, from newborns and infants to young people in their early teens, providing safe, nurturing, and engaging care tailored to each child’s needs.
My nursery experience has given me a strong foundation in early years development — from supporting babies with feeding, routines, and first milestones, to creating stimulating activities that encourage creativity, curiosity, and confidence in toddlers and preschoolers. Alongside this, my babysitting work has allowed me to support children in their home environment, building trust with families and adapting to different routines with ease.
I am passionate about working with young people, offering guidance, encouragement, and positive role modelling to help them grow in confidence and independence. Families and colleagues know me as patient, approachable, and dependable, with a natural ability to connect with children of all ages.
I have previously completed first aid training and am fully aware of safeguarding responsibilities, and committed to ensuring every child feels happy, safe, and supported under my care. With a balance of professional childcare training and personal babysitting experience, I bring both practical skills and genuine enthusiasm to every role I take on.
