My Summary

My Experience

I am a dedicated, adaptable, and compassionate childcare professional currently in my final year of studying for an English Degree in Sheffield. With over four years of direct experience supporting children and young people across various educational and domestic settings, I bring both academic strength and strong practical experience to my work.

Through my background in schools and private care, I have developed excellent communication skills, patience, and a natural ability to build positive connections with children of all ages, backgrounds, and learning needs. Whether managing a classroom, supporting a student 1-1, or looking after a family home and pets, I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and proactive.

I am always happy to discuss individual family requirements and tailor my services accordingly, with flexible rates depending on the specific level of care and support needed.

Key Experience:

Educational & Childcare Experience

Cover Supervisor | Local Secondary School (2 Years)

Over the past two years, I have worked as a Cover Supervisor, stepping in to independently run classes for absent teachers across a wide variety of subject areas. This role involves managing full classrooms of up to 30 students, explaining complex tasks clearly, enforcing school safety and behavior policies, and ensuring every pupil stays focused and supported. This experience has given me exceptional confidence, rapid problem-solving skills, and a calm, adaptable approach when managing dynamic group settings and diverse learning needs.

Specialist Teaching Assistant | Secondary School (1 Year)

I spent a year working directly with students with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), providing tailored academic and behavioral support. I adapted learning materials on the spot and fostered an inclusive, comfortable environment that helped each student build confidence and achieve their goals.

1-1 English Tutor | Secondary School (1 Year)

I delivered personalised, one-on-one English tuition to secondary school pupils. I focused on building literacy, critical thinking, and exam preparation skills through customised lesson plans designed to meet each student's unique learning style and pace.

Primary School Teaching Assistant

I supported classroom teachers in a primary school setting, assisting younger children with reading, creative projects, group play, and basic learning activities, while maintaining a warm, supportive, and nurturing atmosphere.

Babysitting & Childcare | Friends & Family

I have extensive experience providing reliable, high-quality babysitting for friends and family members. My duties routinely include managing meal times, running bedtime routines, assisting with homework, organising creative games, and delivering active, engaging daytime care.

House & Pet Sitting Services
In addition to childcare, I offer trusted home and pet care to give you complete peace of mind while away:

Dog Sitting: Providing attentive care tailored to your dog’s routine, including daily walks, feeding, companionship, and frequent outdoor/garden breaks.

House Sitting: Maintaining household security, watering indoor/outdoor plants, bringing in post and deliveries, putting out bins for collection, and ensuring the house is kept clean and tidy throughout my stay.

Note on Pricing: Rates for all babysitting, pet sitting, and house sitting services are flexible and open to discussion based on duration, location, and specific family requirements.

I have an enhanced DBS certificate which updates annually.
