About Me

Hi! I'm a recent University of Liverpool graduate with a genuine passion for working with children. I've been babysitting for families for as long as I can remember, and I've always loved helping kids learn, play, and grow in a safe and supportive environment.

Over the years, I've had a range of childcare experiences. I worked at Exsportise summer schools, looking after international students and helping them settle into a completely new environment away from home. I also helped run an after-school club, planning activities, keeping children engaged, and making sure they had fun at the end of the school day. Alongside this, I've worked as a lifeguard, which has taught me the importance of staying calm, being responsible, and always putting safety first, especially when supervising children in busy, energetic settings.

I'm a very active person and love bringing that energy into the families I work with. I enjoy swimming, going for walks, and I've been skiing since I was four years old, so I'm always happy to get outside and keep children active. I also play the clarinet and enjoy sharing music and creativity through play, crafts, and other activities. I aim to create a warm, fun environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and free to be themselves.

My Experience

I have several years of childcare experience through babysitting, working as an Activity Leader at Exsportise Summer Schools, and helping to run an after-school club. These roles involved supervising children of different ages, organising activities, supporting their emotional wellbeing, and ensuring they were safe, happy, and engaged. As a qualified lifeguard, I am also highly safety-conscious and confident handling responsibility in busy environments, always remaining calm and attentive.
