My Summary

My Experience

I have hands?on experience working with children from babies right through to teenagers. During my time with Notorious Kids, I spent long periods entertaining and engaging groups of children aged 1 to 15, often managing mixed ages at the same time. This taught me how to keep little ones happy and settled, how to hold the attention of older kids, and how to adapt quickly when energy levels or moods changed.
Alongside this, I’ve also babysat and cared for children in home settings, giving me experience with routines, mealtimes, bedtime, and the calmer, more nurturing side of childcare. I’m confident supporting younger children with play, reading, and comfort, while also being able to plan fun activities and keep older children entertained without relying on screens.
Parents describe me as warm, patient and naturally good with kids someone who brings calm, structure and a sense of fun. Whether it’s one?to?one care or keeping a whole group engaged, I’m comfortable, capable and genuinely enjoy being part of a child’s day.
