About Me

My name is Polly, I am a second year history student at the university of Edinburgh. I have always enjoyed taking care of the children in my family or of friends. I speak both French and Swedish in addition to English, so I would be happy to teach these languages. I enjoy the time spent with children coming up with games and entering a fun pretend world with them. I am also happy to do any educative activity such as reading or writing, on top of any other responsibilities.

My Experience

When I was fifteen I started volunteering with UNICEF going to schools and explaining children's rights to them, through games and activities. I also interned at a primary school around the same time, where I got a much more hands on experience in managing and educating groups of children.

My Qualifications

I have taken care of friends and families children. I have also done an internship at a primary, , where I got to teach a class by myself on top of assisting the main teacher in the education of the children and insuring their wellbeing. In addition, with UNICEF, I have gone to schools to explain to young children their rights. We spent a few hours in each class playing games and having conversations with the children about what UNICEF was and what it represented for them.

My Availability

I am currently a university student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate various babysitting needs. Because I have to balance my studies, I prefer to book sessions in advance so I can fully focus on the children while I’m on the clock. However , I can also do last minute bookings.
