My Summary

My Experience

I have around ten years of experience, on and off, working with children and people with additional needs.
I've worked as a childcare assistant at a primary school in London, supporting children with their daily activities and learning. 
I have worked at a leisure centre, also for two years where I hosted children's play sessions and birthday parties.
In 2023, I spent a month volunteering at an orphanage in Kenya, supporting children's learning and physical activities, as well as helping to deliver first aid training to the staff. I have continued to sponsor one of the children there helping pay for her to go to school.
I'm currently volunteering at a creative hub in Glasgow, where I independently organise and host activity sessions for people with additional needs.

I really enjoy working with children and creating a fun, welcoming and supportive environment. I'm patient, approachable and always happy to get involved, whether that's playing games, doing crafts, helping with learning or supporting everyday routines.

My Qualifications

I have a first class degree from Glasgow school of art, as well as high grades in both English and maths (A*/A*/A). I have previously been trained in first aid, and was DBS checked in 2022 (this may need to be refreshed).

My Availability

On Tuesday mornings I volunteer at the creative hub, however I am available every other weekday. There may be some weekends I am also available.

My Fees

• Babysitting from £13.50 per hour

My rate is £13.50 per hour. I'm happy to discuss this depending on the number of children and the hours needed. I’m always happy to chat about what works best!
