About Me

BABYSITTING / NANNYING after 4- ( EVENINGS / WEEKENDS ONLY ATM & HALF TERMS). I am an enthusiastic individual who enjoys the company of children. I studied childcare and education level 3 for 2 years 2009-2011 to train to become a professional nursery practitioner. I have always found the way children learn and develop fascinating from when I was little myself. I would always enjoy playing with little cousins, family members and family friends. I enjoy working with children because not only do they learn from you, you learn from them. I have two nephews one aged 10 old with special needs (Developmental Delay) and a 7 year old with cerebral palsy. I care for these two boys by babysitting them occasionally and taking them on outings whenever I get the chance. I have two older brothers and one older sister so i am the youngest. I had a wonderful childhood where I was allowed to be a child and enjoy my time growing up. I enjoy artistic and creative developments.
