About Me

My name is Lucy and I am a 30-year-old secondary school teacher with six years of professional experience in education and over 15 years of babysitting experience. I am currently on sabbatical and looking for part-time childcare work alongside my time away from the classroom. I am also available for tutoring in English at both KS3 and KS4 levels.
I am local to the area and grew up around Witney, so I know the community well and feel very comfortable supporting local families. I am confident working with children of all ages and pride myself on being calm, reliable, and engaging, while always prioritising children’s safety and wellbeing.
I am a driver, which allows me to help with school pick-ups, activities, and outings as needed. I also hold a valid DBS check, providing parents with added peace of mind.

My Experience

I have over 15 years of experience caring for children of all ages, both in home settings and through my professional career in education. For the past six years, I have worked as a secondary school teacher, developing strong skills in behaviour management, safeguarding, communication, and supporting young people’s individual needs.
Alongside teaching, I have extensive experience babysitting and providing childcare for families, including evening and weekend care, school pick-ups, and supporting children with homework and routines. I am confident creating a safe, structured, and nurturing environment, while also making time for fun and engaging activities.
I hold a valid DBS check and, as a driver, I am able to support families with transport to and from school or activities when required.

My Qualifications

PGCE in Secondary Education (Drama), with strong training in safeguarding, child development, and behaviour management
BA (Hons) Drama and Theatre Studies, supporting creativity, confidence-building, and engaging activities for children
A Levels
GCSEs

My Availability

I am currently working in a school on Mondays and Fridays (temporary supply until end of March) but am available in the evenings and at anytime throughout the rest of the working week. I may be able to commit to some weekends.
