My Summary
About Me
I am a kind, patient, caring and fun person, with lots of childcare experience. I’m able to babysit in the evenings during the week and weekend (after 5:30pm on weekdays, or earlier depending on your location).
I have been working in a school for almost two years now, and have worked with children in various other capacities in the past, as I explain below.
Outside of work, I really enjoy being outdoors, cycling, climbing, hiking or running, as well as gardening and various crafts (pottery in particular, and weaving more recently). I also love music of many genres, and grew up playing the cello. I have enjoyed being able to share such skills with the children that I’ve worked with, and can do so with yours if you would like me to do so.
I am a fully bilingual English-French individual, with experience of living in both countries.
Please do get in touch if you’d like me to work with your children and I will try to get back to you promptly!
My Experience
I’ve been working as a Teaching Assistant & Support Worker, and doing teacher cover work, in a school (5-17 years old) for almost two years now, with lots of previous work experience in childcare (including daycare nursery assistant), babysitting, nannying, and tutoring children (age 5 months-15 years).
In the last two years, I’ve been working with children with a range of special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), so am very open and able to look after children with additional needs.
This line of work suits my skill-set and personal qualities well, having an empathetic, kind, and calm personality, and being skilled at engaging children from all different backgrounds and abilities. It has also developed my patience, flexibility and adaptability to different children’s needs and preferences. I intend to carry on working long-term with children by training as a child Speech and Language therapist, following a BSc Psychology degree.
I have basic first-aid training, and have received extensive safeguarding training, as well as medication administration and epilepsy training.
I am also fully bilingual in English and French, having grown up in France till the age of fifteen, and speak / understand intermediate Spanish. I have previously given French tutoring to children I have cared for, when requested by parents, for an additional fee.
My Qualifications
BSc Psychology (Hons); extensive training from schools I have worked in, including safeguarding and basic first-aid.
My Availability
I currently have evening availability. I look forward to hearing from you!
