My Summary

My Experience

My employment history in childcare is as follows:

Nanny Oct 16-Present

Nanny to two children boy (5) and girl (4). I was responsible for getting the children ready and taking them to school as well as collecting them three days a week. When getting them ready for school I would give them breakfast, help them brush their teeth, get them dressed and ensure they had their bags ready then walk them to school. After school I would help them with their homework, make them a healthy snack and play stimulating age appropriate games with them. I also on occasion had the children until late in the evening so I would then give them dinner and get them ready for bed. This included showering them and reading bedtime stories. This job was very rewarding as the little boy I was looking after had autism so when I first started at this job he wasn’t very good at communicating his needs to me so I had to figure this out. He also found it very hard if routines got changed. To combat this I would try to ensure he had time to finish tasks he was doing and wrote lists with the tasks we needed to complete then got him to tick them off when we had done one. I also learnt to deal with any issues he may have by giving him quite time.
