Babysitter in Taunton
My Summary
About Me
Hello, I’m Sophie (31 year old female) living in Taunton. I'm a friendly, reliable, and caring person with previous nannying experience and a genuine passion for supporting children to learn, grow, and thrive.
I'm due to begin my School Initial Teacher Training (SITT) course in September to train as a primary school teacher, and I'm currently completing my DBS check as part of that process. Before returning to work with children, I worked in social care supporting vulnerable adults. This role required strong communication skills, and ability to provide compassionate, person-centred care.
I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children feel happy and supported. I am adaptable and happy to help with daily routines, planning engaging activities, or simply being a dependable and positive role model. I look forward to meeting a family where I can make a positive difference.
My Experience
I have previous experience working as a nanny for a family of seven during six months in Australia. My role involved caring for children ranging from a newborn through to around nine years old, so I became confident adapting to the different needs of each age group.
My responsibilities included helping with daily routines, preparing meals, organising activities, supporting school runs, assisting with homework, and caring for younger children, including babies. Working with a large family taught me how to stay organised, flexible, and calm in a busy household.
Although I haven't worked with children professionally in recent years, I have continued developing transferable skills through my role in social care supporting vulnerable adults. I am also excited to be starting my primary teacher training in September, as working with children is the career path I am passionate about pursuing.
My Qualifications
I hold GCSE and A-Level qualifications, as well as a Bachelor's degree in Education and Psychology. My academic background has given me a strong understanding of child development, learning, and behaviour.
My Availability
I have flexible availability and am happy to discuss days and hours to suit your family's needs. Please feel free to get in touch to discuss your requirements, and I'll do my best to accommodate them.
