My Summary

My Experience

I have over 6 years of hands-on childcare experience across babysitting, nannying, swim teaching, and leading structured children’s activities. I have cared for children ranging from 3 months to 16 years old, both on a regular basis and for ad-hoc babysitting, giving me strong experience adapting to different age groups and family routines. I have experience supporting babies and toddlers with feeding, naps, play, and general care, while most of my regular experience is with young children and older age groups through activity leadership and swim teaching. I confidently plan engaging activities, encourage positive behaviour, supervise safely, and help with homework, routines, and bedtime when needed. Through my work in a crèche and as a children’s activity leader, I am used to supervising multiple children at once, maintaining a safe environment, and communicating clearly with parents. I also hold a lifeguarding qualification and am first aid trained, giving me strong awareness of safety and emergency procedures. I am comfortable working independently, following family routines closely, and ensuring children are safe, supported, and engaged at all times.

I have experience working with children with SEND and have supported multiple children with a range of additional needs in both swim teaching and activity settings. I am currently working towards a specialist qualification in SEND swim teaching to further develop my skills and ensure I can provide inclusive, tailored support. I also have personal experience, as my younger brother is autistic, which has given me a deeper understanding, patience, and awareness of different communication styles and individual needs.

My Availability

I am very flexible with my availability. I work on Monday evenings and Sunday mornings, and as a university student I occasionally have a lab during the week (no more than once per week for around 1.5 hours). Aside from this, my schedule is open and adaptable. I am happy to do evenings, late nights, early mornings, and overnight stays. I’m also available for regular weekly bookings or ad-hoc babysitting, and I’m always happy to discuss schedules to find something that works best for your family.

My Fees
