Babysitter in Penarth
My Summary
About Me
Hi my name is Olivia, I am 29 years old and an experienced babysitter living near Cardiff. I have 3 years experience working with children ages 4-17 in pastoral and teaching roles, and 2 years experience babysitting 2-7 year old children.
I adopt a gentle and caring approach when I look after children and aim to create a safe supportive environment when trusted in my care.
A little about me. I have a BSc and MSc in Earth sciences, and I am currently working independently while looking for a new job in data analytics in Cardiff. I am also a lover of outdoor sports and a professional portrait artist specialising in animals and pets.
I really enjoy working with children. As someone with a science background, I love to support and encourage the curiosity that children have of the world around them.
If my profile matches your needs for a babysitter then I would love to hear from you :)
My Experience
Babysitting - I knew a family very well during my teen years and was trusted to care for their two children, a 2 year old boy and 7 year old girl on weekends and evenings. I supported their nighttime routine including bedtimes, reading, evening activities, bathtimes, and occasionally prepared meals.
Girl chorister supervisor - Before university I supervised the girl choristers ages 6-14 at a Cathedral. This was a 6 month role focused on creating a calm and supportive environment for the girls while they trained each evening. I built strong relationships with the parents as I got to know each of the girls, prepared food and drinks, was trusted with medicines, and additionally trained in child safeguarding.
Climbing instructor - Between 2015 to 2021 I worked at three different organisations in climbing and outdoor sport instructor roles. I taught climbing to children ages 4-17 and focused on delivering engaging sessions where they could learn to climb and have fun. I also worked with children who have disabilities as a volunteer instructor at a charity that supports young paraclimbers for 6 months.
