My Summary

My Experience

I have a range of experience working with children aged 4–16 in different settings. This includes working at a special needs children's camp this past summer, as well as tutoring children in English and Maths. I also volunteered with Rainbows (girls aged 4–6) for two years, giving me experience supporting younger children through activities and group settings.

I've also gained experience face painting children and helping organise creative activities, including a Halloween arts and crafts event for young children at a local café. As my mum is a teacher, I've regularly helped her with activities and projects involving children, further developing my creativity and experience working with different ages.

Alongside childcare, I can support children with English, Maths, and Spanish, adapting to each child's needs and learning style to make learning engaging and enjoyable.

I'm also happy to lend a hand around the house, whether that's helping with cooking, tidying, light cleaning, or keeping things organised.

My Qualifications

I have completed my A-levels and am currently studying for a Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design at Loughborough University. While I don't currently hold any formal childcare qualifications, I have gained valuable hands-on experience working with children aged 4–16 through tutoring, volunteering with Rainbows, and working at a special needs children's camp.

My academic background has also helped me develop skills in creativity, organisation, communication, and problem-solving, which I enjoy bringing into my work with children. I am enthusiastic about creating a fun, supportive environment where children can learn, play, and grow in confidence.

My Availability

As a university student at Loughborough University, my availability varies around my lectures and coursework. However, I am generally available for babysitting in and around my university commitments, as well as at weekends. I also have a small part-time job of around 8 hours per week, but I am happy to be flexible where possible and arrange times in advance to suit both the family and my schedule. I am particularly happy to help with occasional babysitting, evening care, and weekend bookings.

My Fees

• Babysitting from £11.00 per hour

My fees are flexible and can be discussed depending on the family's needs, the number of children, and the responsibilities involved. I aim to keep my rates fair and affordable while providing reliable, attentive, and engaging childcare. I'm happy to discuss rates with families beforehand to find an arrangement that works well for everyone.
