My Summary
About Me
I’m 19 years old and at The University of Glasgow in September studying Philosophy, Theology and Theatre. I have always absolutely adored working with young people and I find that my outgoing and bubbly personality assists my approach to childcare in that I see the fun and joy in everything. I have an endless supply of games and activities to keep young kids entertained (and I’ve been told that the voices I do when reading stories are “sooooo funny!”). I have also worked with a number of children with individual needs and learning difficulties both in a school environment and with babysitting and nannying so I know how to be flexible in my approaches and show additional patience and understanding to those who may struggle and see the world differently to how I do. In regards to tutoring my philosophy very much revolves around self-discovery learning as I believe that it builds confidence and deepens understanding of the topic at hand.
My Experience
Earlier this year I finished working for 7 months in a local primary school in London as a teaching assistant/Gappy which I genuinely adored with all my heart. Throughout those two terms I displayed a huge deal of enthusiasm, responsibility and commitment having never called in sick, turned up late or missed any duties as well as learning the names of every single child in the school by the end of my first term. I am DBS checked, have a certificate in basic first aid and also completed a 2 week cookery course which has made me confident in my ability to cook nutritious and tasty meals. In addition to working as a teaching assistant this year, I have been a confident and reliable babysitter and nanny since I was 15 with regular families who I have built a rapport with and see often. I have also worked with a number of children with individual needs and learning difficulties both in a school environment and with babysitting and nannying so I know how to be flexible in my approaches and show additional patience and understanding to those who may struggle and see the world differently to how I do. I additionally work as a private tutor, specialising in maths up to GCSE level and Drama and Theatre Studies up to A-Level, in addition to all Common Entrance subjects both fro 11+ and 13+.
My Qualifications
I have 3 A-Levels in Philosophy, Theatre Studies and Sociology and an AS level in Maths as well as 10 GCSE’s. I am DBS checked, first aid trained and carry a driving licence. I also have a boat licence and am a qualified waterski and wakeboard instructor.
My Availability
As a student, my available hours on weekdays vary but my weekends are typically completely free. However, from December 3rd to December 17th I am 100% available for both during the day and evenings.

My Fees
- Babysitting from £13.00 per hour
- Tutoring from £18.00 per hour
My fees vary hugely depending on many factors, whether that be the time of day (overnight I typically charge less for), number of children or what I am doing with the child/children. I’m very open to discuss fees and alter them depending on the job at hand and what the parent feels is a suitable amount.
