Dion
Babysitter in Swansea
My Summary
About Me
I offer a warm, friendly, and nurturing approach to children from newborn age up to secondary school. I have accumulated experience working with children across this age range. I consider myself a patient individual, and having a toddler has only increased my patience. I am passionate about fostering creative play and learning. While I prefer to minimise screen time such as iPads and phones for my own daughter, I am understanding that some children may benefit from such devices, particularly those with sensory considerations. I am happy to follow routines as closely as possible and am open to implementing specific routines or practices that parents or guardians may wish to introduce, such as potty training or sleep routines. My priority is to ensure that the environment your children are in is as safe, welcoming, and enjoyable as possible.
My Experience
My name is Dion, and I am a 29-year-old mother to my three-year-old daughter who lives in the gowerton area . While exploring my options within education, I developed a keen interest in childcare and have since completed qualifications in Level 3 Childcare Learning & Development, as well as Double Health and Social Care. Currently, I am employed at Singleton Hospital, and in my free time, I enjoy spending quality moments with my daughter and engaging in various activities to stay active.
I have previous experience working in nurseries and primary schools, and I have also babysat for families during weekends. With my own toddler now, I am pleased to let you know that I am more flexible and ready to offer babysitting services once again. I am in the process of reapplying for my DBS check, which will be posted within the next seven days, and I will update this information as soon as I receive it. Additionally, I am happy to provide a viewing of my home and I hold a full driving licence.
As a reliable and friendly babysitter, I am often available during evenings, weekends, and my days off from hospital work. References can be provided upon request.
To enhance my understanding of children with additional needs, I have completed online courses related to autism. This is particularly meaningful to me, as I have twin nieces aged 11, one of whom has autism and ODD. I am comfortable working with children who require extra patience and support. I adopt a calm and friendly approach and am knowledgeable about children’s development, including activities that support fine motor skills. I am also comfortable with meal preparation and am fully aware of allergen considerations, thanks to my current role.
I aim to keep my hourly rate as affordable as possible, recognising the challenges of balancing work and childcare costs.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or require further information. Thank you very much for taking the time to consider my services.
