My Summary

My Experience

Babysitting: Friends and family (2021 – 2023)
While babysitting, I cared for young children and pets in the home, ensuring their safety, comfort and age-appropriate developmental needs while also having lots of fun with crafts, games and fun! I also closely followed parents' instructions surrounding the children’s usual daily routines to help them feel safe, happy and entertained, especially for children with SEN needs.

Visitor Experience Assistant: Twycross Zoo (2024 – 2025)
In this job, I managed a soft play with up to 100 children aged 0-12, ran children’s crafts and shows, and supervised children in animal walkthroughs while maintaining a fun, clean, and safe environment. Due to the busy environment, I helped with emergencies, including first aid and finding lost children, while always following safeguarding procedures and keeping the children as calm and distracted as possible.

Children’s Tour Guide/ Party Host: Ash End Children’s Farm (2021 – 2023)
Helped educate and engage young children and their families by independently organising, planning, and executing activities involving songs, crafts, stories and animal experiences. Educated children about a range of topics, including health and safety, animal care and welfare and more in a fun, engaging way while also prioritising health and safety, COSHH guidelines, infection prevention, and general hygiene to ensure a welcoming and safe environment for all.

My Qualifications

I am currently DBS checked and happy to provide this.
I have plenty of knowledge and experience with young children. I also achieved top grades, A* in Psychology, A in English Literature, and a Distinction* in performing arts, meaning I have great language and 'pretending' skills, and an understanding of child development and problematic behaviours. I also hold a BSc Hons in Human Animal Interaction where completed modules in psychology and animal assisted interventions and therapy.

My Availability

I am mainly looking for evening, weekend, and overnight support but I am also flexible and open to daytime sitting if discussed. I am happy to do one-off sitting or have a regular slot. Whatever works best for you! Please feel free to get in touch and of course I'd be happy to meet you first whenever suits before babysitting.

My Fees
