My Summary
About Me
Hi! My name is Lauren and I am a qualified and experienced nanny and babysitter.
I have over 14 years experience caring for children from newborn up to 16 years old.
I have just completed a BSc in Counselling and am currently in placement working therapeutically with young children in a primary school. I also work in the charity sector.
I am looking for babysitting work and occasional childcare hours to work around my placement and other work.
On several occasions I have stayed overnight or for the weekend whilst parents are away.
I take a lot of pride in providing a child-centred approach to my work and enjoy establishing a relationship with the whole family. I love to cook, bake, read and enjoy being outdoors. Both with children and in my spare time!
My availability varies due to my placements and employment so I am particularly interested in weekend and evening babysitting, however I will have more availability during school holidays.
Thanks for reading and best of luck with your childcare search!
My Experience
I have experience working with children from newborn to teens. I have cared for children with Epilepsy, Diabetes, ADHD, Autism and Dyslexia. I have been responsible for administering regular medication.
I enjoy every age range and continue to learn from the children I look after. I have experience cooking for a variety of dietary needs and I am Coeliac myself so I am aware of the importance of issues such as cross contamination when it comes to cooking for children with allergies or dietary requirements. I am adaptable and happy to cater for the needs of you and your children. I have experience working both as a live-in and live-out nanny.
I have volunteered for a number of charities and organisations. I volunteered as a writing mentor for the Live Theatre in Newcastle for two years, assisting the facilitator and other volunteers to deliver creative writing sessions for local schools. I also completed volunteer training as a family support mentor for Children North East and during the first lockdown I organised donations for families living in poverty in the North East. In 2019 I spent two weeks volunteering for an NGO, Happy Caravan, working as an English teacher on a refugee camp in Malakasa, Greece.
My Qualifications
BSc in Counselling (year 1 of 3 completed). University of East London.
Level 3 Diploma in Counselling. Newcastle College 2019.
BTEC National Diploma in Early Years and Education. Newcastle College 2005.
Paediatric first aid.
My Availability
I am available for evening babysitting and as and when weekend work. I am looking for work in Herne Hill, Clapham, Denmark Hill and East Dulwich. I am flexible and will try to fit in with your childcare needs. I am self employed so I will invoice you for any hours worked. I complete a self-assessment every year so you don't need to worry about anything tax/national insurance related.
